Greyhound Ann Arbor Washington recent customer reviews

Many stops and long layovers at night, which did not get clear when booking. I felt unsafe at the bus stations at night and because of the many long stops it was not possible to sleep in the bus. Also one of the buses was very crowded and smelly. But I have to say that the drivers were all very friendly.
