Greyhound Washington Atlanta recent customer reviews

The bus didn’t have any ac. We asked the driver and he responded with bad attitude saying that the ac wasn’t working and that if we wanted to we could just get out there and wait for another bus. Instead of apologizing because we didn’t know the ac wasn’t working. It was so hot everyone was sweating. Also they threw our baggage in the second stop just because it didn’t have a sticker. We didn’t know until they told us. The lady was rude. The also didn’t check nobody baggage so irresponsible and unprofessional.
