Greyhound Philadelphia Charlottesville recent customer reviews

I bought a ride that involved one transfer. The driver was late so I missed my transfer. I was traveling by myself for the first time, I'm in my teens, and was stranded in DC. I was able to buy the last train ride out of there with Amtrak, but it was so expensive and I don't have much money. I'm never taking the bus again. The staff (besides the driver) were good though.
