Greyhound

Cons: There was no wifi or power to charge devices on the bus, when other patrons and myself approached the staff about it we were told that they would have to do a reset of the whole bus, I was expecting or hoping this would be done after our first stop in NY and it wasn't. Patrons continued to address this with staff and it was ignored for the whole trip. I am heavily reliant on my mobile device as I'm sure many others are during travel so this wasn't appreciated by me and from the conversations I had with others them either. I don't know how much of a bother it would have been to fix the issue but it would have been nice if he at least tried to address it which he didn't. Tips: Pack portable chargers be over prepared even if it says power is available on the bus it's not a guarantee 😒 Make sure your data is stocked up and if your using g a laptop you can provide a hotspot.
