RedCoach Gainesville West Palm Beach recent customer reviews

Never sent the tracking information email and bus was over two hours late. There was one mixup in the beginning so passengers had to deboard and then revised and the had to change busses in Orlando. And the first bus by Viking was strewn with garbage M

Greyhound Gainesville West Palm Beach recent customer reviews

Bus left on time in Gainesville and we waited 3 hours in Orlando for a new driver. Terrible service. Got late to an important appointment. I won’t use this service anymore

Greyhound has a wonderful reputation, but I have switched to smaller companies recently because of how rude and mean the workers are. 4/5 are always cursing, yelling, and being snarky. I have been referred to as “white boy” among other things. I’m not even white.
