Greyhound Bus Lines

I arrived at that station at 1:15 am and to be greeted by a beach whale of a toy cop/​security guard she needs to go to the police acadamy but that would be to hard for her due to the only thing she is good at is eating and being noisy ugly fat bitch go to weight watchers

I would have preferred to give this place 0 stars. I have never had such terrible service in a transportation place as I have had here. Everyone was extremely rude and I felt like I was a child who was being scolded in elementary school. The driver was asking for different information from every rider and when my friend got up front and didn’t have her ID he proceeded to yell and wave her ticket in her face as she pulled out her ID. I asked him to not be so rude to her as it was unnecessary and she was doing as he asked and getting her ID out. He continued to yell at her and my other friend in front of me and get in their face with neither of them arguing with him only complying. When I got up he threatened to not let me on the bus and suggested I not tell him how to act towards people. He then made me stand to the side until he felt I should be allowed on. This type of service when not instigated by one of us is completely uncalled for especially when boarding a bus at three in the morning. The service at the Jacksonville station which I described above was the worst out of all the stops; however, none of the other stops had any employees with manners either. Overall a terrible experience and I can guarantee I will never ride a greyhound bus again.

i dont know if it has parking service there. i dont want to take the bus to there, it take 2 hours to get there from my home

I haven’t traveled on Grey Hound Bus but I have family and friends who ride the bus in and out of town and they say the are so comfortable, an easy ride and the bus was on time.

I wouldn’t even give this station a single star. Very horrible TSA like experience. Before re-​boarding the same bus to continue the trip you get searched by a security guard (almost like TSA airport experience). The guard confiscated my little Gerber multitool key chain (which I wasn’t too happy about). The key chain was located in one of the compartments of my 5.11 hand bag. I guess the guard felt good that he found illegal contraband. I felt like patting him on his back saying great job you now everyone on the bus is safe from this key chain. So the search continues and this guard goes through «almost all» of the other compartments checking to see if he can locate anything else. He even opened up one empty compartment twice (the same compartment I keep my handgun in). Anyways he continued on and now couldn’t remember which one he looked through and which ones he didn’t since he opened up another compartment (one he already checked). Well, I lost my key chain but he did miss 2 full size pocket knives (one of which is a restricted item and a concealed weapon since its an auto opening knife by Benchmade). Furthermore he did miss a mini police baton, police pepper spray, very sharp scissors in my little first aid kit, and one 40 caliber (hollow point) round which I forgot was in the bag. The only thing I was concerned about at this point was my Benchmade knife which is only worth 2 round trip tickets from Washington D.C. to Florida. I transferred the Benchmade from my pocket into my bag while waiting in line to be searched before being cleared to proceed to the boarding area. I purposefully made sure the guard didn’t get to the Benchmade. However I was so surprised that the guard didn’t get to the other regular knife which was fair game and was in more plain view them the keychain gerber. Wait that’s not over yet, after the bag search, the guard made you empty out all of the metal in your pockets and went over you with a metal detector (of course it didn’t beep once for me just as I planned). Keep in mind that I was armed my entire trip from D.C. to Florida going there (with proper credentials and I don’t mean a CCW). On this return trip I played it safe but was surprised by this negative experience. By the way this is my first and last Greyhound trip I’ll ever be taking. Next time I’m just going to rent a car (most convenient for traveling armed), go by Amtrak, or fly (which is not convenient if you bring your firearm because of the steps you have to go through in order to travel with it).

Make sure you don’t go over the weight limit or you will be charged! They also have Money Gram in this location. So, If you are traveling and need money fast, they can help you with this, but for a larger than what I would want to pay fee. They people who work here are not very friendly, but occasionally you will find one. Make sure you have no knives or any contraband, or it will be taken away. I really do not like this location, or the bldg. that is so outdated and old. For such a big city, they should have something new and clean. The good thing about this location, is if you are hungry, you can run to Big Pete’s Pizza, and grab a quick bite to eat, or the Hot Dog Lady on the street is good, or Confetti’s in the Everbank Bldg on ground floor. Akel’s also close and good soups and sandwiches. There is not much more I can say about this place.

Very clean bus station, the staff behind the counter is the only reason they get a 3 start. They here hard to understand and rude. It took me 20 min to get my bags tagged because he kept answering the phone and helping them while I was standing there I don’t no if this was due to short staff of just bad employee.
A helpful tip bring your own food the do have a snack stand but the prices make air port food look cheap. 15 $ for two hot dogs and a water

Greyhound Bus Lines is more established, but I prefer riding with Megabus. Namely because Greyhound tickets tend to be more expensive. Megabus is newer and occasionally offers $ 1 routes to selected places. However, Greyhound actually has a station, whereas Megabus is basically a randomly designated spot. Greyhound does offer more route options as well. Also, they have more departure times. In order to keep up with the competition, Greyhound have outlets and wifi on the bus also.
Greyhound requests you arrive 1 hour prior to departure time to check-​in, if necessary, and to board timely.

Pretty nice station, actually. Architecturally, it’s a nice midcentury building in the heart of downtown. If you have time between buses, there are some restaurants and stores within walking distance. The station is very clean, too.

I buy bus tickets online because it’s cheaper. Always check-​in about thirty minutes before bus leaves. People behind counter are boisterous and courteous. They’re firm about the rules and apply them to everybody.
There’s a small fast-​food type restaurant/​gift shop. I haven’t tasted the food, but it smells decent enough. Bathrooms are clean. Actually the whole place is kept pretty clean.

Right downtown and very easy to make connections to the city bus. Rosa Park station where a lot of the city busses leave from is an easy 10min walk.
If you’re going to the airport this greyhound station makes the transfer easy. You can be at the airport within an hour if you time it all right.
