The trip was a smooth ride. The only thing that made the ride uncomfortable was the tight leg space. I wish they catered to tall people as well.

Was the worst experience ever.Bus did not show up and none of the office staff knew what was going on.Wish I had read the reviews beforehand

The customer service over the over were so unhelpful it wasn't until I hung up and called again that I was told that behind the gas station was the greyhound. I arrived on time 1:20 because the bus tracker and 1st phone cal informed that the bus will be leaving at 1:40. It was the worse experience over the phone and this.

It was great in the first half but then my ride got delayed by two hours and my replacement ride had also got delayed. I was stuck in limbo for about 6 hours and I wouldn't want that again.
