On June 21st I purchased a two way ticket from Long Beach Ca to Az, the ride there wasn't anything I wasn't expecting the A/C sucked as usual. The way back, now that was a nightmare! My return date was June 23, I purchased an additional ticket which was for my five year old daughter. After waiting a few minutes the bus driver turned the engine on, no more than a few seconds later the engine turned off. He did this about three more times before the engine finally turned on and stayed on. The A/C wasn't functioning at all, the restroom smelled so bad it stunk up the entire bus, and to top it off the man sitting in the row next to my daughters seat was drunk off his ass. I don't understand who I'm the right mind would let a drunk passenger on board, the man couldn't even walk straight let alone keep his head up, he was slurring very loudly and kept gagging, my daughter was scared the entire ride. There were two other children on board besides my daughter, no child should be exposed to such thing. More people were getting on the bus than were getting off. There were three people literally jammed together in a row of two seats, because the bus was super over booked. On our way towards San Diego the bus began to smell like burnt, everyone on board started freaking out we seriously all thought we were gonna blow up in the middle of the damn desert. We could all see the concern in the drivers face yet he never once addressed the issue or called for assistance. I don't understand what type of travel company allows its drivers to operate the buses in such condition, does the passengers safety not matter? The ride just started getting worse by the hour. When we finally arrived we were told our next bus would arrive in 15-20 minutes. We waited... and waited... 15-20 minutes turned to an hour , after waiting for 1 hour and a half.. oh wait I forgot to mention the drunk passenger. Yup, well he threw up , several times, this happened in the lobby or waiting area whatever you want to call it. Once the bus driver arrived, she was so rude and unprofessional. One of the passengers who was standing in line i front of me made a joke and said " somebody's late" and giggled trying to make conversation with the driver the driver snapped and replied " better late than never right?!!" And yanked the ticket right out of her hands. When it was my turn to give her our tickets she demanded I sit all the way in the back next to the restroom and said I I didn't she would personally ask me to get off with my daughter and reschedule my ticket, I was making eye contact and quietly listening as my blood boiled because of the way she was speaking to me, right in front of a huge line of people, she then asked me if and I quote " DO YOU EVEN SPEAK ENGLISH?! HELLO??!" I've never felt more discriminated against. The other woman, the one I mentioned earlier who was traveling with her two children one looking to be below age 1, was never told to sit by the restroom, the driver wasn't rude towards her. Yet she snapped at me, there was PLENTY of open seats inside that bus, and every seat had a seat belt, I know for a fact it had nothing to do with policy especially after she rudely asked me if I even spoke English. I contacted grey hound about the incident, the customer service reps response was her data base didn't show any delays and that they would ask the driver if he was late. So she basically brushed away the fact that there was a DRUNK man on board, the bus smelled like it was about to catch on fire, it was completely over booked, and I was discriminated against? Really? She kept concentrating on just one incident, the smallest one, hmm how convenient. I don't recommend anyone use this service, especially if your traveling with small children or in my case happen to be a gay Latina minority. If I could I'd give it -5 stars, they don't deserve this one star. read more
