Enjoyed trip, although bus driver could be a bit rude and inconsiderate. I didn’t appreciate the bus being close to an hour late for departure.

Whilst the chair was comfortable, the drivers driving was so bad members of the public called the police who subsequently pulled over the bus for erratic driving. I felt sick for the whole 3 hr journey due to the bus swaying, hitting curbs and often drifting across lanes encountering the warning bumps. It was more akin to travelling at sea rather than on a bus. The driver also had her face covered and wore dark glasses whilst travelling at night.

I arrived only two minutes late because of awful roadworks and traffic and got no gesture at all of being booked on the next bus or for a discount or anything. Awful.

Greyhound Houston Austin recent customer reviews
The bus is clean and tidy. The customer service is fine. The bus arrives early and waits till the schedule time. The bus even arrives to the destination earlier than the estimated time. It’s all good. HOWEVER, there are too many homeless people in the front way in Houston bus station. It could be dangerous and uncomfortable for the customers.

The Houston bus terminal is a disgrace. There were people sleeping on the seats inside the terminal building. These people were not travelling on any Greyhound bus services. They were street hobos. They should be kept outside the building and not allowed inside. I realise this is a problem, and homeless people need to be catered for but not at a public facility and for the travelling public they should not be subject to this sort of intimidation.
