Greyhound Bus Lines

So… First off, today 7÷4÷2015 @7pm there is a heavy set and shorter women with puffy hair working. All they care about is gossiping, their customer service is non existent, and they are down right rude. A disgrace to Greyhound if I say so myself. The bus that we’re suppose to be boarding to Tallahassee is unboardable for us, because it’s not Tallahassee bound. Even tho, it states that it is. We’ve been waiting for 5 hours and now can’t board a bus going that way. The women working pretty much spit in our face with the issue. Since we’re 15,000 miles away from home and have to deal with the rudest individuals yet, I have to say, I will never support greyhound again until this issue is fixed. It’s funny how the biggest travel company doesn’t even have time to train people with customer service. A disgrace!!!

It stinks in here! It’s really crowded! Not enough chairs! This restaurant sells gas station sandwiches at Subway prices… A hotdog is $ 3.39! That’s outrageous! Just here for an hour. I’ll eat in 4 hours! Mississippi here I come!

The women’s restroom is the most disgusting I have seen in a greyhound station. The «restaurant» is a joke, but when you’re hungry, you’re hungry right. Its a pretty small station with limited seats. This station just doesn’t have a lot going for it, however I did encounter a friendly security guard that kindly answered my question as opposed to being rude like most other greyhound staff members. It also seems to be in a decent location if you want to go out for a walk during daylight hours.

I’m stuck in Birmingham right now, so I thought I’d review to pass the time.
As far as bus stations go, most people keep their expectations fairly low. If you do this, you’ll have great respect for the Birmingham Greyhound station.
I took a bus from Nashville, TN at 3:45am to Birmingham at 7am to connect to the Amtrak at noon. Nothing really opens in this city until about 9am, so I slept at the station until about 8:30am. A staff member woke me up to know where I’m going, so I told him I was waiting for a business to open up for breakfast. He was delighted to show me a spot a block over that just opened, and I wound up getting a friendly escort from another staff member who wanted to grab some brekkie as well.
Since America isn’t allowed to have lockers in transport depots anymore, they were kind enough to hold my bag while I went about town. They gave me directions to the Museum of Civil Rights and the Public Library, which were only a few streets away!
Greyhounds have a knack for being in dodgy areas of town, but I’d say safety isn’t too much of a factor in the early morning for sure.
I’m really wowed by this Greyhound! Good job guys!
