Greyhound Newark Washington recent customer reviews
My mum is 75 years old, doesn’t speak English. Explained the driver that she was going to DC. But the driver let my mum out on their stop at Baltimore, saying last stop. Somehow we logged in to her phone tracking account , figured out where she was, my sister drove 1,5 hours Virginia to pick her up.
That was so sad.

First bus was late… by 40-50 minutes… so I missed the connection, and so I had to wait for another. The next bus to Washington was also late, so I had to ride the bus to Atlanta, and drop off at Washington with a dozen other people.
