Greyhound New York City Columbus recent customer reviews

Both drivers were extremely nasty with people. The first one got into an altercation with a car driver because he almost hit him. The driver was spitting and coughing all the way to Pittsburgh and he was falling asleep many times. It was a scary ride. The second driver, a lady, was very angry and nasty all the time and clearly a racist against White people. She would demand White people to hang up their phone calls but when non-White were screaming on their phone calls, she never said anything to them. The trip was ok, the drivers not at all. They should be fired.

strengthen security because yesterday there was a family who was on the edge with a weapon but fortunately someone reported it and the police intervened and the two individuals were arrested by the New Jersey state police and the shower which is in the bus there must be water inside to wash your hands after use otherwise the comfort is good 👍🏽
