Greyhound

Pros: The bus driver was so friendly and the ride itself so smooth. I also appreciated that the bus driver clearly let us know what stops we were making and how long we were staying. It actually felt more enjoyable because we could stop and stretch as needed. Probably my best Greyhound ride and I really do commend the bus driver for exceptional service and demeanor. It was just easy and that’s not always the case. Cons: N/A. Tips: Bring a sweater because the bus can be cold, but other than that, it was a very comfortable ride.

Pros: The bus drivers were so nice, helpful and friendly. The first bus driver was very calm and patient with me when I rushed on last minute. The second bus driver assured that he would wait for me if I wanted to use the bathroom at a stop. Both were very nice. Cons: In terms of Covid measures being in place and enforced, I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because I don't know what measures are recommended these days. I wish the trip had been a little bit cheaper but I did buy the trip sort of last minute so maybe that was a factor. Tips: Can't think of anything.

Pros: New bus. Comfortable. Friendly drivers. Tips: There was a transfer of bus drivers. It was supposed to be a 20 min stop but it ended up being 1 hour. The new driver was taking her time with going in the store to get tea, then a smoke, then to go to the bathroom. Not in any kind of rush.
