Greyhound Wells New York City recent customer reviews

Overall, my trip was fraught with misfortunes and delays. On the first leg, from Wells to Boston, the handicap lift failed to work for 40 minutes in Portsmouth. I find that quite curious, especially with the pretext of the 2016 lawsuit. Additionally, my second leg from Boston to New York City arrived about 2 hours late. I understand that the traffic is not within the control of Greyhound, but a 4.5 hour trip from boston to NYC is unrealistic. Perhaps a better estimate could have been made, resulting in less confusion on the pickup end of things. Thanks!
