Greyhound Nashville Charlotte recent customer reviews

The staff were not cooperating and tough. The time line very late. Such a waste

The bus from atlanta to charlotte was terrible. When stops were made no announcements were made. When the bus was supposedly going to break down, a hour and a half of my day was wasted when the service center in atlanta said there was nothing wrong, then the bus driver was nowhere to be found, another driver had to take over . There was no rest stop at all and the driver had a funky attitude and was very rude to those wanting a rest stop due to a line for the bus bathroom . After my trip back to nashville tn i will never ride the greyhound again
