A bus left without any informations given so i had to wait 2h30 more for the next one... not cool after more than 15h travelling
Worst experience ever. I will never ride again
I took a trip up to DC from Raleigh and then back. I will probably take the train next time. It's not necessarily Greyhound's fault for the rude passengers but the first trip was crowded and no one would move over. It'd help if the driver would be more assertive in making people quit being assholes and share their damn seat. I had to sit next to this huge guy spilling over in his seat and it was really uncomfortable. The outlets on the seat didn't work and it was hot as hades. On my way back to Raleigh, I sat in a seat where the outlets again didn't work and the lights above me didn't work so I couldn't read or charge anything. Can you not make sure things are working regularly? All in all, not worth it and won't be using them again.
My bus was scheduled go leave 1:30 p the staff said it had been delayed due to traffic and that it would be there at 2.06p. 10 minutes after 2p they say the traffic is really bad and the bus will be there at 3p. I am panicking since I am supposed to be working that night. Then the story changed to they don't know when the bus will be there. A bus arrives and turns out it's 3.15p bus now what happened to our bus? No body has an answer worst part is we 1:30p have to wait for the 3.15p people to board then we will be squeezed in...long story short I am disappointed with their services they never communicated with Richmond the driver asks me why I missed my bus..really? anyway I got to Raleigh at 9p instead of 7p
Bus was on time, staff was good, breaks were taken at appropriate time but lacked in hygiene. Leaving first 3 front seats, rest of the area was stinking very gross. I think it was coming from the toilet situated at the back. Something must be done in order to maintain cleanliness. Thanks!
On the way to Raleigh NC my experience was horrible, my arrival time was suppose to be 3:10 pm and we didn't arrive until 5 o'clock pm. The bus driver from DC to Richmond was rude, we arrived in Richmond at 11:30 and where told that we where departing at 12 noon but didn't leave until 1 pm. I was apart of the reboarding passagers and if it wasn't for a fellow passenger noticing the number of our bus where where going to get left and have to wait for the next bus, because your workers didn't know we was suppose to board the bus plus we still had our belongings on the bus SMH. With all that being said my trip back was was amazing the driver from Raleigh to Richmond was outstanding including the driver from Richmond to DC, and there the only reason why I gave 3 star ratings, I wish I could remember there names, they where very efficient drove very smooth and even made a couple of funny comments over the intercom. Need more workers like them two vs the other ones.
The staff were very helpful with our young children by letting us board first. The drivers were safe and the bus actually got into Raleigh early. Excellent experience!
