The pick up in Tampa was very unsettling. Having to wait in a dirty underpass with street people. Not even a bench to sit on. I hope this is a temporary situation.

I bought tickets for my daughter and her boyfriend to travel from Tampa to Daytona Beach, with a stopover in Orlando. Instead of going to the bus station in Orlando, the driver parked in a mall parking lot and refused to go any further or to explain. They had to take an Uber the rest of the way to Daytona!

Bus transportation is certainly cost effective. This trip was a huge disappointment as I booked an afternoon trip to arrive for a supper and was lucky to arrive by 10 pm. I will think twice before booking with greyhound again
