Greyhound Bus Lines

On the bright side, if you are riding a greyhound bus these days then the rude people who work at this bus station and the trash all over the parking lot are probably the least of your problems. I spent an hour and a half here waiting for a late bus. I would rather have spent it at the dentist’s office.

I rode the Greyhound bus from Indio CA to Phoenix AZ. The driver was rude, beyond belief, but he was more like a sheriff than a bus driver. Some nice people on the bus, but many who were not such nice folks. We were delayed, not his fault. I arrived for a 5:15 am pick-​up, the station was closed. Bus arrived at 5:30 am, and I boarded, to find the only seat available, a jump seat at the back, next to the restroom door. No air overhead, or reading light, no foot rest, and no seatbelt, with a corridor, directly in front of me. Totally dangerous. Being at the back of the bus, and in a seat that did not recline or adjust, I was totally uncomfortable. On top of this, I had a flat wall, of the restroom up against me. On the other side, was a sleeping woman, who ended up unconscious and leaning on me, she also had nowhere to go. The bus stopped at a gas station in the middle of the Desert, and we got a 20 minute break, which would have been longer, except for the 90 minute delay on the freeway, which was not their fault. The stop was dirty and dingie, with most of the patrons trying to get their nicotine fixes. Back on the bus, people had gotten up, and were using the bathroom. The odors were unbelievable. I was on a one way trip to pick-​up a car, otherwise I would not have considered this. i have ridden buses that were much nicer than this, with airplane seats, and TV screens, this thing was terrible. I usually fly, and can say that this was more grueling than a bad transcontinental flight. When daylight came, the buses air conditioning could no longer keep up, and we all began to sweat. Greyhound needs to get rid of this outdated garbage from their fleet. I would never ride with them again.
