Greyhound Tuscaloosa Birmingham recent customer reviews

The bus was over 4 hours late, trying to switch onto another was a nightmare. I was trying to make it to the airport, and had to just give up and find another form of transportation to be able to make it, for what should have been a 3 hour cushion time, would not recommend at all.
