I was unable to take the trip to Sydney tried to cancel but was unsuccessful due to the very difficult cancellation process

I expected a VIP seating bus as is used for long journeys. Unfortunately, it was a normal 50 seater bus which was cramped and the seating space was restricted. Greyhound can do better for the future.
