I've already written a review of the Atlanta Greyhound station, so it's about time I reviewed the one in Macon. I'm going to compare the two stations while being mindful of the fact that Atlanta is a much larger city. By comparison, Macon is about the same size as Savannah, GA but doesn't have the tourist attractions of Savannah. Due to its lack of tourism to boost the economy and its poor political leadership throughout the years, Macon is threadbare by comparison. Jobs have moved away and in the process, crime has risen. As a graduate of Southwest Macon High School, I have fond memories of being a teenager in Macon but the town has been going downhill for some time now. The Greyhound bus station is located in Macon's depressed downtown and is smaller than the one in Atlanta. It's a small room with a few vending machines, a front desk counter and some relatively clean restrooms (at least it was during the only time I ever used it there). Outside, there are several lanes for the buses to pull into and at the very front is a tiny parking lot. Within short walking distance is a Checker's, Zaxby's, Krystal, a gas station/convenience store and a restaurant that sells hot wings. There is also a motel called the Macon Scottish Inn nearby, though I wouldn't recommend staying there because it's one of the filthiest motels in town. There usually aren't any taxis waiting in front of the station but if you call the local Yellow Cab company (phone number 478-762-6464), a taxi will arrive to pick you up within five minutes. I prefer riding the bus from Atlanta to Macon as opposed to the other way around. The reason why is because when you ride Greyhound from Atlanta, the bus begins its route from the Atlanta station. But when you catch the bus in Macon going back to Atlanta, the bus begins its route in Florida and picks up passengers from all the stations in various cities along the way. So by the time it gets to Macon from Florida, the bus is packed and you end up having to shoehorn yourself into one of the few remaining seats (which from my experience is usually beside the stinky restroom, the congested old man, or the mother with the crying baby). The worst thing about the Macon station is, unlike Atlanta, the lobby isn't open 24 hours. The buses will still stop there after hours but the lobby area will be closed. If you're catching a bus then, you will have to wait outside until the bus arrives. No worries. You won't be alone. The city's homeless population that tends to congregate there at night will be more than happy to keep you company during your wait. If you've read my two-star review of Atlanta's Greyhound station, you're probably wondering why I'm rating Macon's station a three even though it's not open 24 hours and is smaller than Atlanta's station. I'm doing so because Atlanta is a major city that can do better. Macon doesn't have the same resources and is basically doing the best they can with what they have. Taking that into consideration, I'm rating it three stars.

Albany is clearly behind the times. This station serves passengers for Greyhound and also local…read moretransit buses on Albany Transit System. The station itself is large but very outdated. It's like Greyhound forgot about this city which is unheard of because whenever I come through this city this station is always full of people. It would be good for Albany Transit and Greyhound to get together to do some renovations to appeal to their customers. The station is in a very busy area for a small town so it would be nice to see some upgrades. Very minimal.

This took approximately three hours. The bus driver made two stops along the way so we could get down and stretch our legs, use the bathroom and grab something to snack on. When we arrived in the Atlanta facility we were dropped off by a train station which did not seem like I really safe place to be. The drop off point in Atlanta was close to a police station and a jail. I had planned to take the train and noticed two police officers talking outside the gates of the train station. Only two other people were there. I quickly bought my ticket went to the train platform and waited for the train!! The train was late and I was getting anxious after being approached several times. To my relief the train finally came after 30 minutes!! I may not use the greyhound bus going to Atlanta again. Since my experience was not very good, but the Albany Greyhound facilities looked much safer. So I'll give them a three star for the Albany facility, but Greyhound has got to improve the drop off point in Atlanta!

Apparently Greyhound has gotten rid of their bus stations and are now dropping/boarding passengers off at already existing city run transit stations and gas stations.

Super nice and friendly from the check in to those on the train. It was just a somewhat disappointing experience for the price paid. The train ride was just a quick ride through a town and then you reversed back. Nothing much to see. Norhing entertaining. You get served hot chocolate and a cookie. There's a commissary that offers hot dogs, nachos and cheese and other options to eat/ drink. Then santa and some elves come thru the train and pass out souvenirs. They played some christmas music but it was kind of hard to hear. I would recommend looking at other train rides. I preferred the one at Stone Mountain more than this - more interactive- like the music, TV available to watch, lights and scenes outside to see, and it stopped around the mountain for scenes to watch. I understand it's a different locale but I wished people had of been more honest as to what took place on here. Overall, my kids ages (7&11) and myself were underwhelmed and disappointed. I'd recommend something more entertaining like them caroling in the different cars.

Also because the one car is near the back, you have to walk (or roll) a ways to get to the one car which is not always easy for those who can't walk well. The ride is okay with some new scenery but nothing to write home about. There is a food car connected to the handicapped car. My favorite part was the two conjoined towns for shopping. I had a good time looking around while my husband found an outdoor restaurant to try and then just people-watched.
