Barons Bus Lines

Pros: It was refreshing to get away to visit family and friends since the Pandemic by bus. Thanks for your support, I look forward to taking more short weekend visits. 🙏🏾. Cons: It would be nice to see new renovations at our local Greyhound Bus Station. New additions such as food courts; stations where one might purchase a nice warm snack fresh coffee or tea for patrons. A place where patrons can charge cell phones and use laptops. Thank you. Tips: Directions should be made visible for patrons who purchase their tickets on line as I did. I have not traveled byway of bus in many many years and was uncertain what to expect after I arrived. Visible directions should be made visible for ticketing procedures. Thanks once again. WiFi was working on board the bus but not at the station.
