Greyhound Cincinnati Washington recent customer reviews

The most horrible travel experience in my life. I’m currently still in Pittsburgh and my original transfer time to Washington, D.C. was 6:00am and the current time is 6:43pm. Almost 13 hours of delay, poor communication, rude customer service, and unclean facilities.
