Greyhound Portland San Jose recent customer reviews

Totally disgusted with both the service and the staff. An hour late leaving Portland and then left 5 hours late from Sacremento. We were not informed what was happening everytime the bus departure time was put back and the woman in the ticket office was rude. I will be considering alternative transport after this experience
