Greyhound Newark Charlotte recent customer reviews

They kept me waiting in the cold of the night for more than 7 hours till the next day, before I had to travel. I had to absent my work because of the delay. My work start at 6pm, I loose a complete day and I don't know the consequences that awaits me.
