As a parent I am very displeased with Greyhound. Today is January 14, 2018 and 2 buses have had traveling problems. My two son's are on these buses. The first bus was to arrive at 6:20 am in San Fernando, California but it never arrived. Your representatives said they would have to catch the next bus at 1:20pm. The second bus they got on at 1:20pm drove two hours and the bus broke down in Avenal, California at a road stop. Right now ( 6 hours later ) they are still waiting for a bus to arrive.
Right now, I am on the phone with a greyhound representative and they are telling us the bus is in Oakland. Your rep's are lying because my boys are telling us they are at a rest stop near Avenal, California broken down. They are 2 hours away from where they originally left at Los Angeles.
It's 11:20 pm, I am still talking to a manager and she cannot locate the exact location of the bus. The bus tracker say's it is on the way to San Francisco, but our son's are saying the bus is not moving. It is parked at a road stop outside of Avenal, California. We are hearing that the bus driver is having a hard time communicating to the nearest station. The bus diver is now frustrated because these paying customers are yelling and screaming at her.
The next stop is San Francisco for their 2nd bus transfer to which they have to wait outside of the station because the station will not be open when they arrive at 4:00am. The next bus leaving is 2:45pm Monday to transfer to Eureka, California, when originally the should have been at their Eureka destination at 5am. We are now hearing that if the bus is full they will have to wait for the next available bus after 2:45. Greyhound should have backup driver's in case these emergencies happen. They should have sent an extra bus to help my boys and the customer's to get to their destination quicker.
Greyhound company needs to have a better way for your rep's to communicate with other stations or your rep's need to be better trained. We are extremely mad that your rep's are lying to us. What kind of company let's bus bus load of paying customer's sit for 6 hours and let's their rep's make up lies. I would like a reply back from the CEO Dave Leach and a refund. I have sent a complaint to the CEO and corporate office, but I have "NOT" heard a reply back. For someone in the corporate office a person would think someone would call back to apologize and say, " We at Greyhound have sent an extra bus to help our paying customers to get to their destination faster". I, myself are never going to recommend Greyhound bus lines. They are terrible for customer service and do not care about loyalty to their customers. read more
