Greyhound New York Miami recent customer reviews

My Father took the greyhound from New York to Miami on Monday and as told on the site he will arrive to Miami Tuesday 7:50pm. He arrived Wednesday at 6:20pm. They had to sleep on the bus with no AC, no one checked on the passenger to see if they needed anything to drink or eat. There was more than a 3 hour delay.

My bus was very late, after one stop the air conditioning broke down, a bus got promised to us one hour later. This bus has never arrived. I got rescheduled only eight hours later. It was terrible I had to wait so long and it was very frustrating. I arrived at Miami 12 hours late and missed many appointments. Out of expected 34.5 hours of traveling, it turned out to be 51 hours. It was so exhausting.

There were a lot of empty seats, so I was able to stretch my legs.but unfortunately there was a bad urine smell from the bathroom, because I was seated in the back. Couple hours later, I changed my seat and it didn’t smell there. Overall, not bad experience.
