Greyhound

Pros: The amenities. Cons: The staff was rude to everyone in the bus. The guy was yelling instead of communicating in soft demeanor. When we warned him about the passengers that were still left in the rest stop, he threatened to leave them. And when we protested, he threatened us as well. Tips: Know your rights.
