Greyhound Toronto Syracuse recent customer reviews

They stopped midway and asked us to leave the bus, wait for 1 hour in a terminal. The terminal was extremely unsafe in the middle of the night. The bus restarted half and hour late. So I had to arrange for pickup later than I planned and my friend left. I had to wait in the cold. Extremely unprofessional, unreliable and bad service.

Left Toronto 30 mins late but all that mattered was that the 40 min layover was reduced to 10 mins.
