I enjoyed when the bus driver pulled over for breaks at gas stations and McDonalds and i was able to get something to eat!!

The driver left earlier than scheduled which caused me to miss the bus. I called customer service to express my dilemma and the associate that was helping me hung up in my face after.

Greyhound was very disappointing experience the driver stop to use the bathroom after being picked up from his hotel room and made me late into Dallas to miss my connection bus and the whole ride from Phoenix all away into Dallas was the most even miserable experience ever sitting next to a passenger with no hygiene cleaning is what so ever stink very bad upsetting to your stomach make you wanna throw up I didn’t think I was going to make it to Dallas and the driver didn’t say nothing didn’t put him out The people in the front of the bus didn’t want him sitting up there so he kept coming towards the back and it was so miserable I am most threw up two times never will I take a Greyhound bus again because Grayhond don’t require their passengers to take baths
