Greyhound Raleigh Wilmington recent customer reviews

The buses were dirty and late! The station staff was slow moving and with an attitude. I was scheduled to leave Raleigh NC at 1:25 pm and arrive at Wilmington Del at 11:35 pm on the same day. I have not reach Wilmington at 5:30am on the following day!!!
