Greyhound Cincinnati Dayton recent customer reviews

I ordered my ticket online I was not near home I was away visiting family I arrived with more than enough time to make my bus. But I was in line to get my ticket for nearly 2 hours an my bus came an went I had 20 dollars on me an had to give that to my grandpa to come pick me up because I missed my bus an u didn't have anymore seats on the next one. so I had to take the bus the next day an that bus was over an hour late. I take the bus quite often an there always seems to be a problem whenever I'm leaving the Cincinnati bus station. But the Trotwood 1 never gives me any problems. It's very aggravating. It would just be easier to find another way home.

Arrived to try and catch my bus and was informed it was running at least 2 to 3 hours late which didn't work for my time schedule of the bus I had to catch in Dayton so I ended up having to find another way to dayton and eating the cost of the tickets I bought
