Greyhound Tucson Flagstaff recent customer reviews

Because the original bus was two hours late should have been there at 8:05, I missed my connecting bus, and had to wait until 10:00 pm to catch the next bus to Flagstaff, putting me in at 1:00 am, I had family who had to drive one hour that time in the morning to be able to pick me up. A trip that should have only taken six hours took seventeen hours.
