A few months back my bus was delayed by over an hour (they couldn't find a driver, not a traffic issue), but these things happen, oh well. They gave us vouchers for 10 dollars. Sure, nice gesture.
Of course, I didn't realize till later that those vouchers are only good for in person fares which are 2x the price of online. Which makes clear they aren't actually interested in making things right.
Busing sucks not because buses suck, but because Greyhound as a company sucks. So frustrating.
Yes. Greyhound sucks. Maybe Megabus is less bad? I don't remember having taken one.
I have taken it to Montreal and Kingston a few times.
It was definitely better in terms of being listed on Google Maps and allowing you to bring your ticket on an electronic device.
Otherwise it's fairly similar, but those things are quite big for me--although I've never had a meaningful delay where I got a refund (although our bus has been up to an hour late, on a 5 hours trip that's less extreme).
The most common intercity coach bus I take is GO Transit, and I realize this is different because their focus is commuting, but the quality of service between the two is night and day.
