The bus driver's driving was a bit terrifying: he honked at drivers a lot and cut-off some drivers.

The trip was good until Orlando when the air conditioner went out. The bus was roomy and the seats were comfortable. If we ha AC it won’t have been perfect.

The AC stopped working on the first bus and it was ridiculously hot and unbearable. It’s South Florida and the humidity was gruesome for those 3hours!!

Never taking Greyhound again. I am a repeat customer but this was the last time. My bus was late. Someone snuck alcohol on the bus and was arguing with the bus driver. There was an altercation at the bus stop. I got my bus schedule changed 4 times and the guy who printed my schedule (in West Palm ) was rude and the least helpful. He almost didn’t print my ticket because I only arrived 10 min before my bus left.
