Greyhound Bus Fiasco
It is not surprising to read or hear of horror stories such as the one carried by Castanet today regarding Greyhound Bus Lines
It may seem right that Greyhound did the noble thing by turning around and going back to pick up patrons who failed to uphold their end by showing up on time, in truth they screwed over others. The rule is if you snooze you lose. I have been a victim of Greyhound myself. I showed up 30 minutes early to catch a 1:35 AM bus to Langley in the middle of winter. I waited at the locked terminal for 30 minutes after the scheduled bus was to arrive but in the end it never showed. Other buses came and went but when I asked those drivers where my bus was they shrugged said don't know. Can't call anyone to find out at that time so I went home. Next day called Greyhound. Bus had mechanical problems.

Greyhound are notorious for not showing up and there is no response when you send an on-line complaint. Unfortunately we do need the service to get from point A to point B.

Have to say things have changed with Greyhound since the days I rode with them regularly.
You miss the the bus, to damn bad anothed one will be thru at "X" time.
