Bus was clean. Miscommunication and confusion among staff. Some staff were rude. I will think twice before riding greyhound again

We were supposed to have a one hour layover in VA that turned into 2.5 hours. Even though we were already very behind, the bus driver took a casual pit stop 1 hour into resuming the drive.

3 hour delay followed by a 90 minute unplanned layover. Broken down bus. No recompense was offered.
