A bus station review? Well someone's gotta do it. Here's what you need to know about this bus station.
-- It's clean! (bathrooms are mostly clean)
-- Most of the signs and announcements are in Spanish
-- Thankfully, Greyhound announcements are in English and Spanish
-- They really only make one or two announcements so you need to listen up and get off that phone, sonny boy.
-- It smells like Fabuloso and Subway
-- Sometimes the card machines are down so have cash to buy your ticket if you haven't online
-- They do have ATMs but the charge is obnoxious ($4)
-- There are plenty of plugs to get a charge before you leave but they're not near the seats
-- If you're bringing luggage on greyhound, you'll need to get luggage tags (like you would at the airport) and it's $15 for your second bag. I don't know if that pricing holds true for your third piece.
-- Do arrive an hour early so that you're ready to go when the bus leaves.
-- Bring your own snacks and water, unless you want to eat bus station subway (which seems ill advised.)
With a station this busy, I think it would be easy to let it degrade to third world style bus madness but they've done an excellent job of maintaining cleanliness and efficiency. read more
