Greyhound Albany Worcester recent customer reviews

The bus, as usual, left late. They never leave on time despite the bus usually being there the drivers tend to wander around the terminal and don't start loading people until AFTER the scheduled departure time. In this case the bus broke down outside of Springfield and we had to wait for a rescue bus. Of course on neither bus nor in the Springfield Bus Station did the Wi Fi work.
