Greyhound Toronto Washington recent customer reviews

Everything is okay, except the Bus to Washington DC from Newyork, if the bus would be cleaned properly, there wouldn’t be bad smell of toilet.

Poornima S.

August 28, 2019

It was extremely callous on greyhound's part to misplace our luggage in Buffalo. The bus driver had carelessly left our luggage at the Buffalo bus station while we were en route to Washington. Our luggage consisted of 1000$+ worth of clothes which we had to wear for marriage. Extremely unprofessional behaviour on greyhound's part with extremely poor customer service. Agents are rude and are unwilling to help.

Mostly passengers were a problem, such as eating food that smelled across the entire bus. Bad wifi, but other than that this trip was okay.
