Greyhound Tuscaloosa Atlanta recent customer reviews

The bus left Tuscaloosa about 30minutes late, we were 50 minutes to downtown when the driver claimed the bus broke down! We were at a fuel station for 2 hours! Waiting for God knows what. The driver decided he could take us downtown after 2 hours of wait!

I had a terrible experience- I felt very unsafe travelling with multiple older men talking to me even with me wearing headphones. I had other passengers asking to borrow my phone and it made 19 year old me feel very uncomfortable.

Staff was all-around rude. They were rude in Tuscaloosa, rude when we stopped in Birmingham, and rude in Atlanta.
