What happens if I miss my Greyhound bus?
If you miss your bus you can usually get on the next bus. Whether it comes that night or the next day doesn’t really matter. You may have to get a new ticket printed. There will be a $20 fee if you were the reason you missed your bus.
Does Greyhound give refunds for late buses?
No, you cannot. Greyhound will not approve a request for the ticket refund if the bus is late. Traffic, different weather conditions, and unforeseen mechanical problems with their busses can influence their arrival and departure times.
Do they search bags on Greyhound?
They check your bags, but only carry on. If they have reason to think drugs or something suspicious is being transported then they bring in dogs and actual police. Some Greyhound bus stations have security some don’t.
How Safe Is Greyhound?
You are pretty safe inside the Greyhound bus station, but outside is a whole different ballgame. I personally know several people who have been robbed right outside of Greyhound bus stations. Stay inside and don’t risk encountering an incident that could end your trip (or worse).
Why are Greyhound buses always late?
The scheduled layovers for your Greyhound bus trip will be listed when you purchase your ticket. For one, Greyhound will always have issues with buses being behind schedule. There’s traffic, weather, crazy drunks who have to be kicked off the bus, and so many other issues that can arise to make the buses late.
Can I change my departure date on Greyhound?
You can change the date/time, To/From locations, and passengers of your original ticket. You need to make the change request before the travel date of your original ticket.
What does a transfer mean on Greyhound?
Transfer. When you need to get off one bus and onto another, we’ll stop at a Greyhound station (or, occasionally, another partner station) for your transfer. You’ll need to take your under the bus baggage with you to the next bus too.

Are there bathrooms on greyhounds?
Yes, there are bathrooms on all Greyhound buses. They are located at the rear of the bus. They are pretty basic and only contain a toilet and hopefully some toilet paper.
Do Greyhounds stop for food?
While traveling on Greyhound your bus will stop frequently for bathroom and food breaks. Usually, every 2 or 3 hours your bus will either pull into a station or it will stop at a fast-food restaurant or convenience store. So it’s recommended that you bring your own food and snacks on the bus with you.
Can you eat on Greyhound?
We don’t sell food or drink on our buses, so it’s a good idea to stock up on food and drinks before boarding (not alcoholic drinks though, they’re not allowed). But if you forget, the bus does stop frequently (check your itinerary to see how often), and some stops will have places to buy food.

Food, drinks and accessories: Alcohol is not permitted at all – on board or in under the bus baggage. Snacks, drinks and plastic cutlery are ok on-board. Any glass containers or metal cutlery must be in under the bus baggage. Sharp objects: Most aren’t allowed on board but can be packed in under the bus baggage.
