Greyhound Columbus Nashville recent customer reviews

My first bus running twenty minutes behind caused me to miss my second bus and get stuck in Cincinnati for six hours with no money or food. And the staff was not friendly or sympathetic. In fact, barely even spoke to or acknowledged me. I am very upset and will most likely take my business elsewhere in the future.
