Greyhound Washington Winston-Salem recent customer reviews

The bus stopped 4 times and we had to come out every time. In an over night bus ride where people are sleeping how can they ask us to come out of the bus every time they stop! Finally the bus stoped at Raleigh and didn’t take us to Winston Salem. The driver and other greyhound authorities just said there’s no bus form here to Winston Salem. It was 3 am at night and I had to pay $200 on Uber to reach Winston Salem. The bus did not drop me at the destination that I paid for and was written in my ticket. Staff were unbelievably rude and didn’t answer me and others when We asked what should we do now, will greyhound pay us to get a taxi or should we wait for bus. I am taking a legal action and will start a campaign against greyhound for all these suffering.
