Greyhound
Pros: The drivers were not rushing and I did not get car seack. My luggage was all the time in the bus and nobody took it. It felt pretty safe even to leave my backpack unattended in the bus. Cons: The buses were pretty dirty on the floor and windows . The driver from Columbia to Miami forgot to make a stop and a passenger could not get off. Tips: Be aware that some bus drivers are not willing to help or answer questions. They just refer you to the staff on the bus stations which you can't find all the time, especialy during night travels.
