Greyhound Oakland Reno recent customer reviews

The AC broke on a trip from Sacramento to Reno (it was over 100 degrees in the bus for about 2 hours) and the bus in front of us breaks down on the freeway? It doesn't sound like these buses are getting the proper maintenance... it was a very miserable trip, although everyone did get to the destination safely.
