I did not enjoy the small seats, very uncomfortable, frequent changes in drivers, the first driver was coughing and spitting into something , very disgusting, bathroom smelled awful , no movies were played , not knowing bus stops or the fact being dropped off infront of a store front, terrible. Customers coming back on the bus smelling like marijuana which gave me a headache. Not a great experience

The bus driver wasn't announcing the stops and people who are first travelers should feel safe to know they won't miss there stop. The driver was very rude and couldn't provide clear information on where we was. Ignored passengers when asking and put me an hour and a half out from where I booked my ticket to be. Very unprofessional and prejudice. Lack of communication and understanding. I was stranded in Greensboro for an 1hr and 25mins at the wrong destination. Anything could have happened to me and he had no other solution beside saying he didn't want to talk to me and I shouldn't have gotten on his bus if I didn't know.

According to customer reviews, there are several negative aspects mentioned about the service. These include poor customer service with no updates or communication, unsanitary bathrooms that do not meet health code standards, and unhelpful bus drivers who do not speak English and provide unclear information. Additionally, some customers reported being pulled over by armed police without explanation and having their luggage searched. Overall, these issues contribute to a very unsatisfactory experience for passengers.
