Greyhound Washington Durham recent customer reviews

My worst traveling experience so was with the Greyhound bus. The last stop over at Raleigh which was supposed to last for 20 minutes lasted for more than 3.5hrs. No proper communication from the staff. We got to Raleigh at 10:47 pm (just about 25 minutes to my destination, Durham) and tiill past 1 AM no information was given as to why we weren't moving. I later discovered that the bus was cancelled after >2 hrs of waiting. Eventually, I took Uber from Raleigh to my destination. This is so painful an experience.
