Greyhound Cincinnati Columbus recent customer reviews

Poor all around. The email confirmation had the wrong bus station address in Cincinnati. When I got to the new station I was told my 5pm bus is now arriving at 7:30, but the station closes at 5, so I will have to wait outside in the snow from 5 pm until the bus shows up at 7:30. I’ll never book with Greyhound again!!
