Greyhound Chicago Miami recent customer reviews

The first driver out of Chicago was awesome. The problems where: 1st, The air condition was not working properly for the first half of the trip. 2nd, there where way to many greyhound trainnies on the bus taking up seats for paying customers. 3rd, the lack of food veriety at greyhound location and the outrageous over priced food. 4th, the last greyhound driver was not as nice as the other 2 drivers nor as informative for the passengers.
