Driver was very attentive and the trip was on time!
From Boston to New Jersey there was no a/c and they knew that 5 min after leaving the station. They opened hatches but it was so hot that day that it was horrible. Going back on 9/6 from NYC to Boston, not even 10 min after leaving Port authority in NYC the bus was apparently hit by a truck smashing the window on the bus. We waited almost 2 hours on the side of the road for a new bus. this all was unexcusable and after 8 hours, between the "accident' and the weather, I arrived in Boston. I will be writing a letter requesting full refund.
This bus always run late and never stop for passengers to eat something
My husband and I arrived at 1:55 PM, we have been told we are early. We said we know but we came early because we we from Florida this is are first experience. Then the departure was 4:05 there’s no bus 5:00 no bus, went ask at the information been told bus running late, 6:00 driver said we not belong to this bus they will put us in the next one, next one 7:00 driver told us no wait for 7:30 we have to wait until everyone getting first before we got the last two seats. That’s was my first & my last because they don’t care abut people with special needs like my husband
The staff at New York was very helpful but the staff at Newark Penn Station did not care to notify passengers that the 405 bus was going to be late. I had to keep getting up to ask what was the problem and why the bus was not here. The bus was scheduled for 405 and did not arrive until 515. To make matters worse I missed my connecting bus which was supposed to be 530 at New York. The staff at Newark did not apologize or give any reasons for the delay. I had to wait over an hour for a bus to come. I was very displeased with this situation.
Greyhound overbooked my bus and caused me to miss my transfer as well. Then almost tried to charge me for changing the transfer. Ended up being 4-5 hours late to Boston. Fantastic
Just a little confusion at the boarding gates. Otherwise everything is. Okay.
Good experience but the 1st bus left 10 mins before the appointed time
So many issues one after another during this trip. Firstly, we left the station 20 mins late. Second, the bus driver said he'd have to pull over because something's wrong with the bus and he doesn't want to risk a breakdown. We were at a rest stop for more than an hour while another bus came. Bus driver was kind and apologized but that didn't help when I missed my next connection in Boston as I was 3 hours late. We were supposed to reach at 5pm but didn't reach until 7:45pm. I understand these things happen, but traffic should be accounted for in the estimation of arrival time.
The portion of the bus ride from Newark to New York City had broken seats therefore not enough seats for everyone. I literally had to stand up for the entire ride otherwise I would not make my connection to Boston
Bus was late. and they crammed people from two different bus into one.
The staff at new jersey penn station was very rude to all customers. I had to reprint my ticket and although it was my mistake, they were very rude. Please hire more friendly individuals or provide further communication skills training. New york staff was friendly and there were no other problems. Nice journey overall except staff at new jersey.
My bus was 2 hours late. Very disappointed
Greyhound service was good. The staff at the Station and in the Bus was so nice. But one thing was to be improved that the buses should be cleaned before every departure. When i started my journey from Newark Penn Station, Bus was so dirty with some garbage like Nappy, Coffee Glasses, Tissue papers and water bottles. It was so messy at our feet. Just that to be improve. Else was EXCELLENT. 👍🏽
Unfortunately my experience with Greyhound was not a good one. My bus, which was supposed to leave from Newark, NJ at 7:25 pm, was not projected to arrive until 1:30am. Therefore i was told to take a local bus to New York City and switch over to a different Greyhound bus that was projected to leave at 9:00pm. The 9:00 bus in fact did not leave at 9:00, it didn’t arrive at the station until 11:00pm which in turn didn’t get me to my destination until 3:30 in the morning, which was extremely inconvenient.
I missed the bus from.newyork to boston and they asked for a cash fine of $20, only cash to be put on the next bus
The 1:00 pm bus never came, We waited for 2 hours... Then, finally the personnel put us on a bus to NY where we took another bus to Boston. If we left at 1:00 pm, we would be in Boston at 5:45 pm. But we left slightly after 3:00 pm and get to Boston around 8:00 pm. The service we paid for was not delivered, so I asked for my money back...
Bus didn’t show up, no driver, had to uber to Boston from New Jersey with 3 other strangers.
Worst experience, bus didn’t turn up and staff was very rude
Couldn’t print my ticket and was sent to New Jersey transit and cause me to find new way to get home
the outlets didn't work I couldn't charge my phone at all for 5 hrs !!!
The bus left 30 minutes before the scheduled time in Newark
