Greyhound Sarasota Miami recent customer reviews

The traveling was hard, and details in the stations are very poor. On the bus too.

Nitzan C.

February 8, 2020

There could be more leg room between the seats, especially considering the buses don't seem to fill to full capacity. The driver was not easy to understand. He often ignored people when they spoke to him and he spoke fast, broken English when he did speak. He did not give clear instructions for proper bus etiquette, nor did he give clear instructions at the various stops. Greyhound desperately needs to work on its customer service training that's given to their drivers. Posted instructions and information about bus etiquette both permanently adhered to the inside of the bus as well as provided on permanent, laminated cards that should then remain inside the bus would be a great idea. Be sure to include visual graphics. It seems a large demographic that uses the bus speaks Spanish. Thus, it would be a good idea to post such info in both English and Spanish (and perhaps more languages).

The Sarasota station doesn’t have any assistance. I picked the option “to pick up the ticket at the bus station” but everything was closed. I payed for the ticket but I wasn’t sure if I will be accepted for the trip, because Everything was closed! No online tickets, nothing.
