Greyhound Oakland Los Angeles recent customer reviews

My seat was unassigned an hour before the trip, early in the morning. That meant I couldn't settle in or do work and had to constantly be worried about who was getting on and whether I was in their seat. So unprofessional, Greyhound!

Was ticketed for a 6PM departure and 2AM arrival. Did not arrive until 8PM the following evening. 16 hours late. No reimbursement or accomodations we're provided for our overnight stay at the bus station.
