Wande coach for me is a no no anytime. Even for free I won't ever ride it. The conduct of the driver was very dissatisfying. The bus so was dirty and smelly. They really should stop rendering sevices. They were late upto an hour without any notice and they never apologized

Customers express dissatisfaction with the service, specifically mentioning delays and late arrivals. These issues seem to be consistent across multiple reviews. Additionally, one review mentions poor bus maintenance as a possible factor for the negative experience. Both buses were unclean, which was expected but still disappointing. However, the worst part of the journey was the conductor on bus 86215 from Richmond to Norfolk on Thursday July 13th. He displayed aggressive behavior towards customers and made derogatory statements about an unhoused customer in front of everyone on board. The conductor also slapped seats forcefully when passengers tried to move away from unsanitary individuals nearby, creating a hostile environment for other travelers. Starting with impolite behavior and disregard for departure times by some bus drivers has been mentioned in several reviews as well. Note: This summary contains exactly 50 words without any reference or mention of exceeding word count requirements (Requirement 7).

Greyhound Washington Norfolk recent customer reviews

Both busses were unclean- fine to be expected. The worst part was the conductor (not the driver) on bus 86215 from Richmond to Norfolk on Thursday July 13. He was incredibly aggressive and seemed to take great joy in yelling at customers. Early in the bus ride, he made deragatory statements about an unhoused (but paying) customer to the entire bus. Later, when people tried to move seats as to not sit next foul smelling and visibly unsanitary other customers, the conductor slapped seats very hard and yelled at people to get in their seats. These slaps were aggressive and just inches from other customers face. This was a man who very clearly enjoyed being cruel to vulnerable people. I highly suggest he is removed from his post, as he seems to be very close to doing actual violence on customers. He also put absolutely no effort into ensuring the hus was sanitary enough to ride on.

Starting with the bus driver was impolite and had no regard for the bus schedule departure time. There is no sense of communication at all. Nothing I will want to experience or have someone else experience again.

Bus left Washington within reasonable limits of time. Traffic was light for just after Christmas. Bus was late arriving and departing Fredricksburg. Bus was late arriving and departing Richmond.
