It was terrible. We got to Atlanta an hour late and she lied on the app and said we made it earlier than we did. I missed My event. She kept missing all the turns it was all bad

Dakotah C.

February 1, 2025

The seats were very uncomfortable, there was trash underneath the seats and it smelled like a port-o-potty. Also there was no indication prior to or after booking that there would be a stop in Anderson after 2 hours. I was only informed after I was already on the bus and we were leaving the station.

BUS BROKE DOWN 4 times a 4 hour trip took 13 hrs to complete. The staff is the most nonchalant unhelpful people ever . I will never understand why it’s so hard to get these buses inspected before take off . This is not the first time of this happening! Greyhound needs to step up their game or SHUT COMPLETELY DOWN!
