To say that one wouldn't wish Greyhound on your worst enemy is a gross understatement. Unfortunately for the unwashed, unemployed and uninspired, the essential service of inter-city Greyhound service is the only option...also included students, seniors and non-car owners.
First, Greyhound is an open threat to your life with many of the drivers being grossly under qualified. Serious accidents that involve fatalities are more commonplace than Greyhound lets on. Just do a little research....you will be alarmed.
Second, Greyhound cannot be relied on in any sense to maintain a schedule. So if you are considering using Greyhound to get to work, or a connecting bus or flight..DON'T!!! you will regret it. I speak from experience.
Third, Greyhound routinely loses baggage. They do this ALL THE TIME!! Once you try to claim for lost luggage you are in for the fight of your life. I know, they lost over 6000.00 worth of climbing equipment and it took me 1.5 years to sort out the claim.
Fourth, the staff employed by Greyhound are a collection of the most ignorant, rude, arrogant, incompetent and in some cases, vicious and spiteful, persons ever employed in the transportation industry. Trust me, I speak from experience.
Fifth, Greyhound bus stations are frequented by some very very dangerous people including drug dealers, pimps, child predators, whores, crack addicts, bums, winos and thieves. All of these low-lives openly threaten, assault, accost and ripoff Greyhound passengers in plain view of Greyhound employees and management. Nothing is ever done!! In fact people are murdered and robbed in not only the stations themselves but the washrooms. Greyhound bus stations are extremely dangerous places. Beware!!!!
Sixth, The senior corporate offices of Greyhound are in constant and direct conflict with virtually all of its lower management and employees. The end result is passengers are caught in the middle and are purposely run roughshod over in order to create confrontation and conflict.
Seventh, The parcel express service is just as bad with Greyhound employees regularly using packages as footballs or soccer balls. They do this right in the open with great enthusiasm. As for packages arriving at their final destination undamaged and on time.....virtually impossible.
In closing. Do not ever take Greyhound...FOR ANY REASON. If you are even considering sending an employee or loved one on a Greyhound ....DON'T!!! PLEASE DON'T!!!...WHATEVER YOU DO, FIND ANY OTHER MODE OF TRANSPORTATION.!!!...IT MOST LIKELY IS A MATTER OF LIFE AND DEATH.
If you think this review is a joke, think again....and then read and research Greyhound on the internet.
