Greyhound Boston Philadelphia recent customer reviews
Greyhound gets a bad rep, but for a lot of people it’s the most affordable option, and for that I appreciate the service. My biggest complaint is their lack of policies to keep people safe. I was recently on a bus that had an individual saying some very vile comments that then turned into violent comments. When we exited the bus I noticed he a long red bag that almost looked like it could have an semi-automatic in it. In this climate we’re in and based on the things he was saying it doesn’t seem like a stretch. Please do better Greyhound.

Timing was awful and then staff in NYC were not helpful trying to get us on a new bus and we had to rebook with another company

I was very disappointed with my bus experience.
2 hours in we were stuck in a car wreck for 1.5 hours which I know that is nobodies fault. Then we went through New York City which was in traffic too. When we were finally less than an hour away and I was on a very time sensitive schedule since I needed to make my plane, we pull over the side of the road because of the bus breaking down... because of this and how short I was on time I had to pay an additional $70 to get a Lyft to pick me up on the side of the highway so I could make it to the airport. All of those events combined were very unfortunate but more than anything I think the bus driver provided poor customer service. He was not understanding or even trying to keep us informed with what was going on.
I am lucky I made my flight but very unhappy with yesterday.
