The driver was great. The bus was on time. What I didn’t like; bus was older, charging stations didn’t work and seatbelts were unreliable. The attendants at the NY station were kind of unprofessional.

Customers have praised the bus driver for being fantastic and great at singing. The buses are comfortable, not overcrowded, and depart on time. However, some passengers experienced long trips with unnecessary stops that delayed arrival times beyond expectations.

Greyhound Lines, Inc. New York City Providence recent customer reviews

Everything was very smooth as far as the ticket check and boarding. The bus was clean and the driver was pleasant. Only problem I had was the leg room. My right knee only bends 25% so I always sit at the aisle so that I can straighten it. I'm sure that's a safety hazard although I try as much as I can to tuck it in. Also the sockets were loose, charger continued to fall out.
