Verified ReviewerRefund request for bus delay and unsatisfactory service in journey

Greyhound Lines, Inc.
P.O. Box 660691
Dallas, TX 75266-****
Dear Greyhound Customer Service,
I am writing to express my deep dissatisfaction with my recent travel experience on Greyhound bus service, which took place on 13th Oct 2023, from Washington DC to Delaware DE.
My booking number for this journey is 311318****.
My journey, which was initially supposed to be a comfortable 2 hours and 35 minutes, turned into a frustrating ordeal due to a series of issues. First and foremost, the bus departed nearly 20 minutes behind schedule, which set a negative tone for the trip from the beginning.
To add to the inconvenience, at the starting point, passengers were initially boarded onto one bus, only to be informed a few minutes later that this bus was not operational. This unexpected change forced passengers to transfer their luggage from one bus to another, which was a significant hassle and disrupted the journey for all of us.
The most concerning incident occurred when we stopped in Silver Spring, MD. The bus driver informed us that there was no oil in the bus and that a mechanic had been called to address the issue.
We were left waiting on the roadside for almost 2 hours. This situation was not only annoying but also a complete waste of our valuable time.
I believe it is a basic expectation for bus drivers to ensure that their vehicles are in proper working condition before commencing a journey. Checking for essential things like fuel should be a standard practice. If there isn't enough fuel, the bus should be taken to a gas station, rather than passengers being left stranded while waiting for a mechanic to refuel the bus.
This delay had severe consequences for me personally, as I had a tight schedule and needed to catch another form of transportation from Delaware at 3 PM.
Due to the significant delay caused by these issues, I had to incur extra expenses for alternate transportation.
What made matters worse was the lack of communication from the driver regarding the estimated duration of the delay. The standard response of "I don't know" left passengers in a difficult and uncertain position, making it challenging for us to make informed decisions.
I kindly request that you investigate this matter and take appropriate action to reimburse me for the time and money I lost due to these delays and the careless service provided.
It is essential that Greyhound takes the necessary steps to ensure the reliability and quality of its services.
I look forward to your prompt response and resolution of this matter. I appreciate your attention to my concerns and hope that Greyhound can address these issues to prevent similar inconveniences for other passengers in the future.
Regards,
Rajendra Patel
- There was no alternate bus arrangement in case of bus breakdown
Preferred solution: Full refund
User's recommendation: Do not rely on Greyhound bus transportation as they don’t car your timing and comfortable commute.
Refund
The bus left me there, but still charged me. This happened about 3 days ago, I am unhappy with the situation and am hoping for a full refund.
The lady at the station was no help what so ever, I tried to find another bus station stop and she said there wasnt another place I could get picked up but there was.
She was unhelpful and rude. Not only that but you guys have the audacity to take my money after I didnt even get on the bus because it took off, right when I got there ??

Verified ReviewerDriver left before scheduled time, I was there 15 mins before scheduled departing timee
I was going from El Centro to Flagstaff and I had a transfer in Phoenix. I was at the boarding door 15 mins before the bus was scheduled to leave from Phoenix, and I watched the driver DRIVE AWAY 10 MINS BEFORE THE BUS WAS SCHEDULED TO LEAVE!!
The driver did not even check for passengers waiting to board!! The people at the counter said they couldn't call the driver back because they wouldn't answer the phone while driving, but why would they be allowed to leave before the scheduled time, or even check for the passengers that were there 15 mins before the scheduled time like I was supposed to be. I was there at 11:28pm and the bus was scheduled to leave at 11:45pm. The driver pulled out and drove away at 11:35pm!!!
I was going to be home in 3 hours if I had been on that bus, instead my only option is to wait until 9:50 the next morning to catch the next bus, which I am currently sitting here with my new unexpected over 10 hour transfer, not feeling real safe in this kinda scary bus depot, for something where I did everything I was supposed to do. I can't believe I had to watch the driver drive away without even checking for additional people that were there the suggested 15 mins before the bus was scheduled to leave.
This is a terrible company, and I doubt my reviews will do anything at all, but I am going to leave this review any possible place I can, file any complaint I possibly can, and call whatever numbers I can to negatively affect Greyhound, because the fact that I am sitting here feeling totally unsafe in this depot for HOURS when all I want to do is be home just because the driver took off before the scheduled time without opening the door is totally uncalled for. I guess the drivers can make whatever schedule they want, and I hope this one gets fired.

Verified ReviewerBad driver bad service
Bus 86725 El paso Tx 3:53am 01/31/2025 After a day and three hours of travel. 3 hours late by the Greyhound service,.the new driver I consider she is the worst driver so far of this company, The driver she refused to give me her name.She make it me spend the worst moments in my trip from El Paso Texas to Los Angeles California.
The driver with a bad attitude only threatening that for any detail she would call the police and the customers would be separated from the bus in an aggressive tone .the volume of speaker Bus 86725 was too loud.the bus has many empty seats and did not allow me to change to another seat with more comfort that I was sitting in the last seats next to the bathroom, which was not cleaned in the time they had to do so because of the bad smell that could be felt throughout the bus. so she is not interested in the well-being of the customers,.she sees us as if we were garbage forgetting that she works for us.
She gives a very bad image of this company in relation to the poor treatment of users. (Flixbus drivers are more professional)
- Pros prices

Verified ReviewerMissed Buses and waiting day on delay and late arrivals
My bus number 0135 from Nashville to Louisville was delayed from 9:45 am to 2:30 pm. I had connecting buses and this caused me to miss my bus to Cleveland, Ohio which would have been my final destination.
I am now at Toledo Bus Station and there are no more buses to take me. I'm truly ashamed. I've been riding buses from the 6th of January, even missed my friend's funeral which was on the 8th. For my first experience, it's a no-no.
The customer service is deplorable. Please stop deceiving people that you take purchases when you know the buses are cancelled.

- Never on time always late

Verified Reviewer |Complaint
Hello I would like to file a complaint regarding a trip I made on Greyhound on December 12, 2024. I was on route US0670 which goes from Charlotte to Atlanta, and my stop was the fourth stop, Norcross Georgia.
I had brought a suitcase which I put in a baggage compartment (the second one left from the door). Upon arrival, the driver opened the first compartment. I politely asked if he could open the second one, so I could get my bag and be on my way. However he blatantly refused, and rudely told me to leave it alone.
I genuinely do not understand why he didn't let me take my bag and I still have no idea what he was talking about he told me that he won't open the second compartment until the bus arrived in Atlanta, which is ridiculous since my ticket was for Norcross, so I couldn't stay on the bus to Atlanta because that would be illegal (and very inconvenient since that was not my destination). Either that or he wanted the bus to take the bag without me, which is theft of my personal property which is definitely against Greyhound policy. I continued to politely ask for my bag but he was just rude, even threatening to call the police. Eventually someone else intervened and I got my bag back, but that driver should not be abusing his power for literally no reason other than screw over Greyhound passengers.
I don't know the names but there were definitely other passengers who witnessed this.
I am not seeking money, a refund, or to press charges. I just want this to be noted by the Greyhound Corporation and to prevent any future incidents

Verified ReviewerGot bumped all the way to the back of the bus
I'm a disabled black female, who has a disabled older sister. I paid extra money to sit in the front seat of the bus because of all the medical issues my sister and I have!
The bus company changed our seats two times. The first time wasn't bad, it was only one row behind. But then at 2:23 PM, I got another email stating they changed the seats again. The bus departed at 2:50 PM.
I went directly to the bus station desk clerk, who stated they had nothing to do with Greyhound. But she gave me the phone number and said call right away. It took forever to contact them, and when I did, they were talking about giving me a voucher. I was confused, disgusted and overwhelmed all at the same time.
I just wanted to get home. Not only did they change the seats to the last row, it was next to the smelly, funky bathroom. I was so sick on that ride, I threw up two times. Between a headache and nausea, it was crazy.
I was sick for the rest of the night! And now the next day a customer service representative for Greyhound is stating they will only give me a voucher for the money paid extra for the seats. I paid cash, why would you give me a voucher? I don't ever want to take this transportation again.
The rep then stated I could give it to someone. I don't recommend anyone using this company. I would like my money back the same way I paid it out! The customer service representative had no customer service!
He didn't care about the customer or them being a disabled person. When asking to speak to a supervisor, he stated the supervisor is very busy and I would be on hold for a while.
When asking for another supervisor, he stated he only has access to one supervisor. I was on hold for 18 minutes before I decided to hang up!

Verified Reviewer |To learn about schedule and pricing
My lady friend was traveling on Greyhound from Springfield, Missouri to Spokane, Washington. She got off the bus at Butte Montana to get something to eat and when she did a bicycle struck her and she had to have surgery on her leg she still recovering in Butte.
Now Im trying to book a ticket for her from Butte to Spokane and they will only allow her to take one bag. What is she supposed to do with the other two bags as she was traveling from Springfield with three bags?
This is a pretty *** situation
Your customer service person said that my friend could ask the driver if she could put on two more bags
But what if he says no?
Please help me solve this problem thanks

Verified ReviewerCanceled bus and kicked out of bus station when it closed and they did not give me a hotel
Greyhound canceled a connecting bus from Boston to Tulsa. I had a 16-hour difference between buses.
They closed the station in Kansas City for cleaning at 10am and reopened at 4pm. They kicked me out of the station with my two sons and two grandchildren and did not provide me a hotel. Their words were, and I quote, 'I was out of luck and on my own.' I had almost $300 in extra expenses due to their cancellation. Update: I got on a bus at Kansas City to Joplin at 11 pm and arrived at Joplin at 1:30 am.
I didn't leave Joplin until 10:30 am due to a delayed bus. Greyhound is a nightmare to travel with, to say the least. Then, got on another bus and 30 minutes later, the bus started smoking from the back.
The driver had to open both emergency exits and pull over because the bus was overheating. It was just a nightmare overall, not to mention the station in Kansas was so filthy; it was hard to see out of their glass windows throughout my 16-hour layover.

LOL....Let that be a lesson to you and others to NOT show up for a transportation situation a mere 15 minutes before departure. Grown up that don't want to be left at a sus bus station arrive much earlier .
Yeah... lol...
the really hilarious part is this was a transfer, maybe you've heard of them??? Where i had to catch a bus in another city and then take THAT bus to the Phoenix depot to catch the bus that left early.... the first bus didn't get there until 17 mins before my scheduled time to leave.
So yeah, super hilarious. You can move on to other reviews and leave your negative comments elsewhere, and I hope you have the day you deserve.
You need to grow up and stop being sarcastic.
Wow, I get wronged by a company, tell my story, and people jump on me? No thank you, you need to stop leaving unhelpful comments on people's genuine, awful experience reviews (since we're telling other people on random comments what we think they need to do.) Just following your standard here.
If your feelings are easily hurt, perhaps you should not be posting on a PUBLIC FORUM. Anyone can comment.
Omg this is a PUBLIC FORUM???? I thought it was private that no one could see!!
Whatever will I do??? It's not about hurt feelings, it's about being wronged by companies and coming here to express that. And when someone basically comes on here to laugh at the poster and comment like they know anything about what actually happened, and obviously didn't read in my original post that this was a transfer, I'm gonna get a little sarcastic.
I'm done with you, thanks for all your amazingly wonderful help! :)
