Greyhound Asheville Raleigh recent customer reviews
Not at all what I had imagined a Bus trip to be like. The driver was extremely rude and I feel also prejudice. Had made several comments I feel were uncalled for. The bus was nothing like advertised. As I understand it from the conversation between the bus Driver and in employee at the Durham stop. The bus we were riding was to be retired after this trip. This was mine and my wife’s first bus trip. I cannot imagine any bus ride to be as bed is this one was. Your driver seems to be very disgruntled.
