NAAMA

July 17, 2026- Visiting family

New York to Boston

Pros: Leaving from the GW bridge rather than midtown was convenient. Cons: The bus was over an hour late, and we only got a notification that it would be late a few minutes before it was supposed to originally leave, when at that point it should have been clear much sooner that it was going to be late. Then the app did not update properly and kept saying the bus had already arrived when it hadn't, so we did not have any real updates. Additionally, the tracker showed the bus had almost reached the station, but then the bus for some reason went back and forth across the GW bridge another time, further delaying by an additional 30 minutes. After this delay, there was no sense of urgency from the bus drivers, and each stop both in New York and Hartford seemed to last longer than necessary, with everyone fully seated for many minutes before we started to drive again. This experience did not seem worth the $60 trip cost. Tips: Anticipate many delays, the departure and arrival time will probably not be accurate.

New York to Hartford

Pros: Drivers were competent on both the arrival and departure route, despite crazy traffic.....restroom was terrible odor obnoxious on the first leg of the journey great improvement on the return leg...I would certainly travel on this bus again.....Even the ground staff at the terminal was very proficient. Cons: The smell of the restroom not human friendly at all. Tips: For guaranteed safety and by extension Comfort except for the restroom this is the desired choice of a seamless travel which is very affordable.

Greyhound Baggage Policy

Traveling on Greyhound with Disabilities

If you have a disability or reduced mobility, Greyhound will provide service in accordance with the ADA and work to ensure your trip is as comfortable as possible. If you would like assistance during any part of your journey, ask the driver or a customer service representative and they can assist you with boarding, or help you store mobility aids or baggage. Service animals and other mobility aids like canes or walkers are always welcome onboard, depending on your needs.

The first row of Greyhound buses is reserved for the elderly and customers with disabilities. When booking your Greyhound ticket on Wanderu, you can add a wheelchair seat to your reservation on the Trip Summary page. Greyhound buses are equipped with a wheelchair lift, and you can either travel sitting in your wheelchair, or board the bus and then stow your wheelchair or mobility scooter in the baggage compartment.

Traveling with a Group on Greyhound

Want to travel as a group on Greyhound? You can book up to five tickets in one reservation on Wanderu. Simply add more travelers on the Trip Summary page, and then type each passenger’s name on the checkout page.

If you choose to print the tickets at home, the email address on the reservation will receive the tickets for each of the passengers traveling on the bus. Alternatively, you could choose to pick up the tickets for your group at the bus station by selecting the will-call option on the checkout page.

Greyhound Bus Guide & FAQs

Yes, you can reschedule your Greyhound tickets for another date or time as long as you do so at least 15 minutes prior to the original trip departure. If you want to change your depart or arrival locations, you'll have to cancel your ticket and use the refund to rebook it.

Yes, Greyhound tickets are refundable! You can cancel your Greyhound ticket up to 15 minutes before departure and get a refund as a voucher. The amount you get back depends on when you cancel:

Less than 2 days before: 25% refund 2 to 6 days before: 50% refund 7 to 29 days before: 75% refund 30 days or more before: 100% refund

Extras like seat reservations and extra baggage get a full refund, but booking and service fees aren’t refundable.

Yes, Greyhound offers WiFi on their buses. Although most trips with Greyhound will have WiFi as advertised, some buses might not come equipped with WiFi and onboard WiFi can lose its connection in rural areas. We recommend you bring a book or download a movie just to play it safe. Greyhound WiFi is generally best used for surfing the web, checking emails and chatting with friends; you shouldn’t count on the WiFi to binge watch your favorite show.

Most Greyhound buses have between 50 and 55 passenger seats. However, depending on the bus model, some buses in Greyhound’s fleet might have smaller or larger capacities.

Yes, there are power outlets onboard Greyhound buses. You can generally find one or two sockets per row of seats, so be a good traveller and check if your seat neighbor might want to charge up their devices as well. With the onboard power outlets, you can charge both a computer and USB devices with a USB power adapter that typically comes with most phones and tablets.

Since Greyhound might sometimes use replacement bus vehicles, not all trips are guaranteed to have power points. We recommend to bring a power bank to charge your phone for all trips over 2 hours, just in case.

On a typical day, Greyhound has 15488 scheduled bus trips in total. However, the exact departure and arrival times vary depending on the day and route. The best way to find the exact schedule for your trip is to use the search tool on this page.

No, Greyhound does not offer will call tickets. You should purchase your tickets online and make sure you have everything you need to board before you arrive at the station.

Greyhound does not allow pets or animals onboard the bus. The only exception to this policy is for trained service animals accompanying a passenger with a disability.

On Greyhound buses, one infant under the age of 2 can ride for free if they sit on an adult's lap. All passengers above the age of 2 will need a standard, full-priced ticket for travel.
Yes, Greyhound requires a valid government-issued ID to board. College IDs or other alternative forms of identification are not accepted. If you don’t have a government-issued ID, contact Greyhound directly to check for alternative boarding options.

Thanks to Greyhound’s BusTracker tool, you can easily track your Greyhound bus online and know when it is expected to arrive. Live status updates show your bus’ progress and where it is along its route. This is also a helpful tool if someone is picking you up from the arrival station.

Sure thing! It’s actually cheaper to do so on Wanderu. Greyhound normally charges an $18 USD fee to buy a ticket that will be used by another person. You can avoid this fee by quickly and easily ordering a ticket on Wanderu for the person who will be traveling. Just make sure you enter their personal details in the passenger information fields.

At check-out, you can choose a print-at-home ticket (which will be emailed to you, and you can forward it to the traveler) or a will-call ticket (which the traveler can pick up at the station).

Yes, there are bathrooms on Greyhound buses. The bathrooms are pretty basic and include a toilet, toilet paper and hand sanitizer. Most bathrooms don’t have running water. As you will be using a bathroom on a moving vehicle, please use caution and hold on to a rail at all times.

Greyhound allows bikes to be transported in the under-bus baggage compartment for a fee. Make sure that your bicycle is packaged into an approved bike box or container. The container must be securely sealed for the trip.

Bicycles count as an oversized item. Depending on the station that you depart from, they might need to be shipped through Greyhound Package Express. If your bike needs to be shipped via Greyhound Package Express, the fee is between $42 to $52 USD, based on the distance you travel. Please contact the carrier ahead of time for an exact quote on how much it would cost to bring your bicycle.

If you do not have an ID, you must contact Greyhound directly to ask what options there are for you to travel without an ID. For example, you may be able to set up a password to collect your will-call ticket and/or board the bus.

Greyhound does not offer meals or beverages onboard. We recommend you bring a drink and some snacks for your trip. We also suggest packing a reusable water bottle with you to reduce your impact on the environment. However, note that most buses do not allow you to bring your own alcoholic drinks.

Greyhound does not require a printed ticket to board the bus. Instead, an eTicket is sent to you via email when you make your reservation. You can use your smartphone to show this eTicket to the ticketing agent as you board.

Greyhound goes the extra distance to deliver premium features to its customers.

Movies are provided during the bus trip to keep you entertained. Don’t forget to bring your favorite pair of headphones, as headphones are not always included on the bus. We recommend in-ear noise cancelling headphones due to their small size.

Board games are all the rage these days and Greyhound is keeping up with the latest trends by providing games you can play with your seat neighbors.

Travelers aged 15 and under must be accompanied on the same bus by a parent, legal guardian, or another passenger who is at least 16 years old. Any traveler, regardless of age, occupying a seat must pay the applicable adult fare.

All Greyhound buses are designed to reduce the impact on the environment. This includes engines that minimize emissions and maximize efficiency; for example, by running on low-sulfur diesel fuel. You’ll also notice that buses limit the time spent idling to reduce emissions at stations. A green thumbs-up for Greyhound, and one for you too, for choosing to travel by bus.
