Greyhound Eau Claire Milwaukee recent customer reviews

Greyhound is one of the worst services I have used. Busses are late, busses are dirty, breakdowns are frequent, the staff is rude, pricing fluctuates often, no sort of compensation when it is obvious that the problem was on Greyhound's end. In December 2019, a bus even skipped the bus stop where I was waiting. There was no apologies or compensation for the time I lost dealing with issues. I directly lost valuable time with family due to Greyhound's lack of professionalism. I am very disappointed that there are few other options and Greyhound chooses to operate in this fashion.
