Greyhound Washington Wilmington recent customer reviews

My bus was late due to brake/engine issues with the coach. There was smoke coming from the lower cabin of the bus and we had to wait 2.5 hours for the next vehicle to pick us up. We were then packed on to an already full bus; this was very uncomfortable due to COVID

I would like to make a complaint. I was in bus nr 86017 with registration plate K02-1386. It broke down during the journey so we couldn't reach our destination. We (passengers) spent 2 hours waiting for help from your stuff but nothing had happened. I decided to take Lyft then. Due to this situation I ask you for full refund of my ticket bought from Greyhound company. Please send my money back to my bank account: 394008745824, if you need any additional information, please send me a message. Regards, Szymon Palasz
