I really enjoyed my journey it was no problem that the bus was late, the traffic going to San Diego was heavy today. Ticketing staff and driver were great, a real pleasure to try Greyhound from a U.K. passenger

The bus was late and arrived more than an hour later than it was supposed to. The driver was not very friendly and took even longer time in Long Beach before we departed.
