The bus smelled so bad I couldn't sleep and just got an uber to the airport and bought a flight. L.A.X is easier to navigate then the greyhound stations.

The driver in the beginning of my trip, made me feel safe and kept me informed about where we were. The 2nd driver from Pittsburgh I think was also great. The third driver on my trip seemed to take long ways and didn't communicate to us at all. The bare minimum. I was very confused as to which stops we were making until we were there,and not clearly. Not a good end to traveling for 15 hrs.

Had to wait from 11 pm to 2:30 am for my second bus, and the monitors said the bus was running late, adding 1 minute every minute to the departure, causing major confusion. Ride was loud, as people talked out loud at 4 am, someone playing a Mexican concert on their phone, and extremely uncomfortable seats. People on the bus were also all very strange, many smelled of weed, grown man I spotted playing with a doll, and many non-bus riders breaking into the station. Food was better than I had expected at the station, such as the burger tasted better than a bigmac. Doable, but not reasonable choice of travel, taking a plane back home.
