Greyhound Newark Louisville recent customer reviews

Very bad because I missed my connecting bus at Columbus because of previous bus delay and very bad that the next bus is at 2:30 so I need to take a cab and reach my school in the Louisville. And even though I didn't get any delay updates or mails from Greyhound when I missed my connecting bus.
