Greyhound Williamsburg Washington recent customer reviews

Tried to switch my ticket as bus was delayed by almost 2 hours. Would miss connecting to next bus. Assistance to get another ticket wasn’t really offered. Greyhound repeatedly makes money off of travelers and provides poor services. This has to stop.

My bus from D.C. left an hour late, drove for an hour, turned around and drove back to DC. Then when we finally left for Richmond, by the time I got there my connecting bus had left 2 hours previously and now I am stuck at the station for 5 hours and missed a day of classes at my college.
