Greyhound

Pros: It was safe and quiet. Cons: I wish passengers could receive a general text message about if anyone lost something while traveling. Because I left my black velvet shawl and a blue travel pillow in the Flix bus I traveled with from Newark to Washington and I didn’t have a means to contact them. Also, in boarding any bus , I believe contact information should be provided to passengers in case someone remembers that they have left something on tha bus. I would really appreciate that.
