Greyhound Wilmington Atlanta recent customer reviews

Greyhound staff members are rude. This was my first time catching the bus, so I had to questions to ask. You’re workers did not like answering questions. When I asked my Atlanta driver was I catching the correct bus he told me I was not on the correct bus. Another co worker told me to get on the bus. The bus driver then said “I just told her this wasn’t her bus, this is why we need to educate ourselves. We were suppose to arrive in Atlanta at 8:45am. We arrived 12:36. I will never take another greyhound bus again. Horrible experience
