Greyhound Greenville Birmingham recent customer reviews

Went on to buy the ticket at $60, then they jacked the price to $150 when I was actually completing the purchase. The first bus was very late and my second bus left before it’s scheduled departure time without me on it. The busses were gross and there was no order, it was smelly smokey chaos, then being stuck in the station was miserable and the workers were not friendly and understanding about the situation they put me in in a random city. I hope I never have to deal with this company again.
