The driver was great. The bus was on time. What I didn’t like; bus was older, charging stations didn’t work and seatbelts were unreliable. The attendants at the NY station were kind of unprofessional.

Customers have praised the bus driver for being fantastic and great at singing. The buses are comfortable, not overcrowded, and depart on time. However, some passengers experienced long trips with unnecessary stops that delayed arrival times beyond expectations.

Greyhound Lines, Inc. New York City Providence recent customer reviews

Everything was very smooth as far as the ticket check and boarding. The bus was clean and the driver was pleasant. Only problem I had was the leg room. My right knee only bends 25% so I always sit at the aisle so that I can straighten it. I'm sure that's a safety hazard although I try as much as I can to tuck it in. Also the sockets were loose, charger continued to fall out.

My first time traveling with OurBus . I loved my journey, from my checking till I got off the bus. We left NYC on time and we arrived to Providence 10 minutes before the time they told us. The driver was very polite.

Bus left on time, and arrived in Providence, much earlier than indicated, and without any other stop. Stops at a very convinient place (Hilton), which we found to be very welcoming, as we arranged for our on ward transport. The bus starting point is also a convient location by the iconic UN building.
