I mean, it's Greyhound, so my expectations were only that I get there alive, but when I laid down $80 for a quick red eye trip to Dallas I must say I was disappointed that I didn't get $80 worth of value, by a long shot.

I received an email informing me that my 4 hour bus ride from Houston to DFW airport was replaced by an 8 hour ride on the same day, that would leave 2 hours earlier and arrive 1.5 hour later than my planned trip. When I showed up at the station to take the bus, I received another email telling me that the pick up location had been changed and gave me directions to the new location. I followed the directions & went to the new location, waited for 40 minutes, but the bus never showed up. I had to take an uber home.
