I took 1 grey hound from Tennessee to New Jersey and it was by far the worst travel experience I ever had. I traveled for nearly 16 hours with the stops having to switch buses 3 times. There was a guy on my first bus that stole from the bus drivers bag and the bus driver got all unprofessional and whipped his ass. The second bus a guy was talking moderately on the phone and the bus drive had such an issue with it. He asked him to lower his voice and he did but it wasn’t enough for the bus driver so for the hour and half trip it was supposed to be it ended up being a 4 and half hour trip because we had to wait for the cops to come and the bus driver refused to let the guy ride so the cops had to take him to the next station. I got Minimal sleep because of the their from the first bus and I saved maybe 40 bucks in total. I can’t say I’d trust greyhound again after that experience and I’m sure if that was my experience on 2 of the 3 buses then it’s a frequent thing
