Greyhound Redding Sacramento recent customer reviews

Bus broke down before we left Redding. Had to wait for a bus to arrive from Sacramento. We sat on the bus for 7 hours. Missed my meeting and when I tried to exchange it for the next day I had to pay $20. That is ridiculous. I would say a weather delay is one thing but poor maintenance on your equipment and then charging me more is ludicrous.
