Greyhound Charlotte Richmond recent customer reviews

Despite Charlotte as a start point, bus was one hour late leaving, driver got lost, missed connection in Fayetteville, waited 6 hours for next one to Richmond (again, LATE); no announcements, filthy buses, rude staff, NEVER AGAIN! Terrible, terrible, terrible all day... should not be arriving to Richmond after midnight.
