Greyhound Seattle Redding recent customer reviews

The seats are not comfortable. There is even less leg room than there is on an airplane in coach. The restroom on the bus is so small & stinky that it took an hour for me to get the smell of urine out of my nose. I couldn't charge my phone because the outlet was broken where I was sitting and the bus too full to change my seat.
