I have no positive feedback for this trip!! This was the absolute worst trip I have ever been on and I had been on a few from CT to NC and never was this bad!! So now for the bad points on this trip: My first leg of the trip from CT to NYC was 15 min late which was nothing and didn't even worry about that. Once arrived at NYC is was a little confused on my next bus and there was nobody in the information booth. I did find an employee that said that I was in the correct terminal# 64 for my next bus. We left NYC already late and after getting on the highway, the bus started violently shaking and the driver said that we would have to go back to NYC for a different bus after only making it to the Newark bus stop which was another 20 min back. There were no issues until arriving at Washington DC where we were already late for the next transfer connection. We were told to wait in line outside and it was very cold out. Hours went by and nobody could get any information on when our next connection bus would be here continuing on from DC south to Atlanta. Finally, at 9:30 am on Saturday morning (almost 5 hours of waiting) we were told to board a bus that was continuing on south. The only information that we were given about the extreme delay is that a driver decided to show up for work! We continued on and made it to Charlotte. We were told that it was just a driver change but after 45 min of waiting we were told that there was another bus issue and we were switching busses yet again! I arrived in Atlanta at 7:45am and heard word that there was a bus leaving at 7:55am to go on south to Montgomery. Of course it was too late and full already to make that bus. I had to waste a whole day in Atlanta because the next bus was not until 4:20pm!!! I came back to the station well before that time to make sure I wouldn't miss this bus and I did and there were no major issues after that point. However, I arrived in Montgomery AL almost a full day later than advertised arrival time!!! THIS IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE!!!! I WILL NEVER USE GREYHOUND AGAIN FOR ANY KIND OF TRAVEL WHATSOVER!!!!
I didn't even mention the other issues that I had including a confrontation that happened right before me when I was sitting in my seat. A Greyhond employee and a customer were screaming and yelling at each other and threating each other!!!! Apparently the bus driver caught the customer smoking weed and confronted him and it escalated outside in a brawl that other people recorded and posted online!!!! There was also an issue with a different person that was caught shooting up dope and we had to pull over!!! THIS IS COMPLETELY AND TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE!!!
