Greyhound Fort Lauderdale Richmond recent customer reviews

Most of the staff was very rude. Very unorganized given out the wrong information. The electrical outlets didn't work for half the trip. The air conditioning wasn't working well. The bus driver was caught falling asleep multiple times! I hated the fact we had to keep getting on and off the bus when we never had to change buses. Not a great experience at all.
