Bus scheduled to leave at 7:00 PM to Corpus via San Antonio was delayed due to mechanical issues with the bus. My trip had to be rescheduled for following day- causing unfortunate consequences.

Most disappointed service ever I get , Bus from Austin was late for a hour and the connection bus from San Antonio to corpus already left the station before arrive . They told me next bus is 4 AM in the morning. Just a shame. Never will use this bus service again.

The bus from Austin to San Antonio was delayed and that made me miss the bus from San Antonio to Corpus Christi. When I was boarding to San Antonio I was told with a hand full of others that the bus we got on will continue to Corpus but didnt so we had to exchange our tickets for the next ride at 4am. 10 hours from arrival. My final destination was Brownsville but i was going to catch a ride from corpus and avoid the long driving hours. Greyhound didn't allow that for me so I bought a new ticket for San Antonio to Brownsville
