I enjoyed the Journey. The driver was also nice. But the time to start journey was delayed by 1 hour 45 minutes which is not a joke.

Always loved riding Greyhound since childhood. But in this day and age with people still getting sick from Covid I'd seek another form of Transportation until this thing has been completely eradicated.
