Greyhound St. Louis Houston recent customer reviews

The buses are pretty ratty but we've come to expect that in the US. Good points were that WiFi and charging outlets worked, 2/3 of the buses had fully functioning and clean bathrooms, and the one that was below standards at least had toilet paper and hand sanitiser. The drivers were delightful and professional on all three legs of my trip. Thanks

July 21, 2018

My bus left early therefore I was left at the bus station. I was to leave at 2:35 pm but my bus left at 2:05 pm instead. My luggage was on the bus. After waiting to leave for about 2 1/2 hours on the next bus ride, when I got to my final destination, one piece of my luggage was not there. I had to go on to Santa Fe, TX without my clothes for 10 days.
