4 out of 5 stars
Jada M.
Horrible.a 9.5 hour trip from St. Louis to Cincinnati was almost 24 hour. Was supposed to leave at 630 pm arrive in Cincinnati at 230 am but didn’t arrive to Cincinnati until 300pm next day. 3 hours late leaving St. Louis, so we missed the bus leaving Indianapolis to Cincinnati. Was told there would be nothing going to Cincinnati until the following day. Was forced to pay an extra 29$ for ticket to Cincinnati, then waited another 4 hours for that bus. Lost my job! Worse experience traveling. Will not recommend greyhound or use ever for business or plaasw

The bus was 1 hour late and that provoked I would be late for other things that I planned to do later. They told me the bus was late because there were not enough buses!
