Everything about the bus ride was fine except the wifi as it didn't let me connect to it.

The drive from providence to new York was fine, no problems at all. What was annoying was the driver. To say the bus was less than half full he kept issuing so called friendly reminders that we should keep conversations to a minimum and brief. I'm 63 and he was the school yard bully.

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

Greyhound Review Very confusing pick up point. It was a generic bus stop sign on a telephone pole. I was so stressed out — even local strangers didn’t know where to send me. I only found the stop because someone waved me over. There was no shelter, no seating, and the bus tracking was inaccurate. After waiting in the freezing cold for hours with no updates, I gave up and took the train. Not a good experience, especially with only a voucher offered.

Horrible. No A/C. Just had to turn around because it couldn’t go through the tunnel and was delayed two hours dropping customers off in Queens because folks were so sick because of the heat
