I was suppose to arrive to North Carolina Saturday 7am. Bus broke down for 6 hours making my arrival be until Saturday at 9pm. This trip was not satisfied at all.

Ended up arriving 8 hours later than I was supposed to and in the wrong town thanks to the buses running late. Absolutely horrible conditions on the last bus I was on (for 6+ hours). My first trip with Greyhound will likely be my last.
