Horrible. Bus was delayed, no one spoke English, and I was not dropped off at the stated location. In addition, someone made me stay upon my arrival due to an unknown and could not explain to me the situation.

The staff never told us that our bus was going to be so late. We had to call them repeatedly and every time they gave us a new time

Greyhound Fresno San Jose recent customer reviews

Overall, I was happy with the trip. The bus was clean and comfortable. The Greyhoind wifi and entertainment options were great. My only complaints are that the staff in Fresno made no attempt to tell the passengers, who were waiting in line outside in the cold, that the bus would be delayed. Also, there was no terminal in San Jose, and we were let off the bus in the rain with no directions.
