The Washington Dc bus driver did not know the route and re-route twice. This delayed us for 2 hours.The transit bus from new York transmission broke down which delayed me again. The overall trip took 12 hours.

The bus drive itself was average however the layover was horrible my husband and 84 year old mother had to wait for 4 hours. With no explanation on why the bus was late. We ask several greyhound bus attendants what time they think it would arrive and one of the attendants was very nasty. There were no organizations when the bus finally arrived. Greyhound will be my last resort when booking a trip.
