I am currently suing the busc company for forging fake signatures claiming I cashed a 250 dollars check plus losing my luggage Feb 21st at Oklahoma City during a busswitch. Their NYC attorney Laura Mazzari is crooked, corrupt and lied about me cashing a 250 check I mailed back to their Dallas offices as a insult. I am seeking 5,000 dollars in damages and want people to join me in a class action lawsuit against this crooked bus company who lost people's luggages.

Rude and disorganized they do not care about us in the least bit even if I ban them they could care less there's no empathy and no help like im just a hassle and in there way to only do the bare minimum ifveben that .they are literally only there for the paycheck .im a single female traveling. Alone ing the winter with several feet of snow all around and eight months prego to be exact which they knew and refused to help me with my bags or seating .i was in the restroom at a stop way out in the middle of know where .i had to use the store restroom due to the disgusting nature of the bus bathroom covered in puke and urine etc not did it lock .while inside uncontrollably throwing up from motion sickness and smells frontage bus bathroom I was left there alone with everything I owned on the bus including my jacket and shoes only wearing slippers of course it's impossible to get a human or help from calling greyhound I was stuck abandoned cold and full of nauseous anger sadness and anxiety how they can leave a person behind without an announcement or checking for empty clearly occupied seats I had absoulutly no one to help me causing me to walk miles hitchhike take mumble city buses and pay for cabs to get me to a city where I could get a couch to my destination a very expensive trip home .after all that my bags were stolen and they held no remorse for my situation not offered any apologies or a complaint from andcreprecussions for the irresponsible driver leaving a single full term pregnant mother without a warm jacket or shoes out in the cold looking everything I.ownef on still have no clothing to change into or any clue as to if or when I'll get them back or a claim on them for a replacement instead I gratitude and the runaround and no resolution or getting hung up on after extremely long wait time greyhound won't loose any sleep over my situation or me not returning as a customer due to them knowing it'll not impact there profits with all the people in my situation of needing to travel and greyhound it the least expensive option it's pathetic and sad but Thomasville never change I strongly recommend other means of travel and if impossible get insurance doing to your belongings pack a alphabetized and per before you get on don't exit to bus if possible and expect the worst good luck

I recently took Greyhound from Kissimmee to lake city and they couldn't find my luggage when I arrived at my destination.The bus driver actually encouraged everyone who had checked their baggage to keep it on the bus so I did and now my luggage is probably gone forever.Since this is obviously a problem with Greyhound,the company should make its drivers caution people to keep their bags with them at all times, especially since they don't accept liability.Im at a complete loss as to what to do as they make it impossible to talk to anyone who directly handles lost luggage.I believe no matter what they say they are responsible to some degree if not entirely; therefore,if Greyhound can't locate my luggage then I may talk to a lawyer as well.if nothing legally can be done then I'm prepared to give them as much negative advertising as possible among other creative marketing ideas that I have.This type of carelessness and bad faith business practices has got to stop! Greyhound's problem is that it has no competition and is getting away with this because of that fact

So this is currently happening to me when I went from Miami to Ocala were you able ever to locate your baggage or did you lose it forever? Like this just happened to me a couple days ago I would like to know what your outcome was if you could contact me my email address is JESSSEE82@iCloud.com if you could let me know if you ever got your stuff that would be a great feeling to know that somebody got their stuff back.

Good old American Grey Hound is run by outsiders in Manilla. Call centers are useless. Missisng bag, from Mt Laurel NJ supposedly was stopped in Newark NJ and was to be returned to Mt Laurel NJ. Mt Laurel claims never received it, but they didn't check the bus when it arrived, then was told it made it to Pittsburg PA again it's so hard to get a direct number to these locations phone always goes to Manilla. Bag was supposed to be returned from Pittsburgh to Mt Laurel. Bus to arrive today at 2:15 we will be at the station in Mt Laurel waiting... this is the most ridiculous and poor customer service. They give you a tracking/claim number but then when you call back they say it's not in the system. This is worse than the airlines.

Greyhound lost my luggage on January 1 I’m just getting it back today on January 13, now that I have it back a lot of expensive stuff is missing. They are really rude and careless and I want to sue them for stealing out of my suitcase but I don’t know who to call or how to start . Any pointers?

I purchased a ticket for my daughter to ride the bus from Ft. Collins, CO to Kansas City, MO.
She boarded the bus in Ft. Collins after she finally found it (since the website gave 3 different address for the bus station). She arrived in Denver where she was to switch busses to continue on to Kansas City, MO.
She was ready to board the bus, the driver told her to get a tag for her luggage. My daughter asked if she had time since the line was quite long. The driver assured her she had time. The driver took her bus ticket and while my daughter was standing in line to get her luggage tag, the driver left her in Denver, all alone for her very first bus trip. No money. No transportation. She knows no one there. She was left alone and frightened for first bus trip. She was coming home to see her dog before the dog died of bone cancer, and to spend the holiday with family. She contacted her friends in Ft. Collins, but had to wait almost 2 hours in a place where she knew no one, everyone was rude, the employees and drivers would not help her.
I contacted the customer service line four times and was put on hold for such a long time that I finally gave up and called back. No resolution with those four calls. Then my husband 4-5 times to speak to someone to get the issue resolved, but he experienced the same treatment. The customer service people transfer you and you remain on hold until you give up. Worst service and customer care I have ever seen!

I was told by a greyhound station employee my luggage was sent to Dallas TX after the driver gave my luggage to the wrong person and she returned it. Greyhound says they can't find it. My life's in that suitcase!. Told by employees at greyhound station they don't actually look. What do I do? Pam31037@hotmail.com

This just happened to my fiance tonight. He was also trucking and had to come home with all his stuff...including important personal papers which were stolen right off the bus at a stop. He wasn't allowed off the bus since it wasn't his stop and the other passengers were allowed to just grab whatever bags and leave with no one checking if they own the bags or not. He is so mad and upset I'm sure he'd be glad to join in on a class action lawsuit!

Grey hound lost my luggage from Charlotte NC traveling to Long Beach Ca, greyhound assured me with the specail handling ticket that I didnt have to keep checking to see if my luggage was on the next buses. Well, 2 months passed since then, I was issued a check for 250.00, dollars, I had clothes, quilt and other items in the luggage. I also paid the extra 15.00 since I had 2 luggages.to put under the bus. However, I did receive one luggage and not the other one. I believe I should have been refunded the 15.00 and the value was worth more than 25.00.. I rather have my luggage insead of two hunded and fifty dollars.Now, since this happened I am scared to travel grey hound with luggage

My Bags also dissapeared today. This is the second time that I have been through this with Greyhound . The first time I eventually received my suitcase...but it was empty! I was only compensated $250 for my loss. Now it is happening once again.

My son was assaulted and robbed by the Greyhound bus station in Baton Rouge, LA after being left in the middle of the night with the station locked up tight. The website says it is a 24 open facility, however, that must be incorrect. The bus he was on going to Dallas, had a stop that was supposed to be 45 minutes and the bus left after 30 minutes. His luggage, of course, was carry-on and went with the original bus. Then Customer Service had the nerve to tell me, after being able to confirm, there was a ticket purchased, that there would be no promises he could get on the next bus. I had to purchase another ticket from Baton Rouge to Dallas in order for him to get on the next bus, which was 12 hours later. The customer service Supervisor, however, did say that they would be able to refund my last ticket I purchased for my son when he arrived in Dallas. Apparentally there was no security at the building, in the middle of the night...and the station is in a high crime area. DAH! I am inquiring to see if any legal action can be taken against Greyhound and their false claims to their facilities being open 24 hours...Assault, battery and robbery, quite the deal in front of a bus station...ATTORNEYS...PLEASE RESPOND TO THIS IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN THIS CASE. crestviewpalms2@gmail.com -------

my daughter went from Montana to Kentucky in November. Greyhound lost her oversized duffle bag, which had all her clothes in it, and I had to pay extra to ship it. No one can tell us where it went, I get a runaround on most of the phone numbers, if I call corporate, I get left on permanent hold and forgotten.

I know exactly how you feel. I'm in that process with Greyhound since Christmas Eve of 2018. The place I call is rude. To much back ground noise and can't get a English talking person when that's the only language I know

I rode greyhound from Detroit, Mi to Gadsden, AL on Sept 15th 2009 arrived on Sept. 16th 2009 without my luggage. I had it in Nashville I took it to the next bus bound for Birmingham Al. When I arrived in Birmingham I was told I could not get my luggage to transfer it to the next bus bound for Gadsden that the employee's would transfer it for me I tried to stay and watch my Luggage but I was told by the Security Guard I had to go inside Terminal I could not Stand there and watch. Everything I owned was in there including presents for my Grandchildren and Photo's of my Father which I can't replace. I just called Greyhound and was told they are issuing me a check for 167.00 for everything I owned which doesn't even cover the camera and my clothes let alone my Laptop. I want to find out how to get everyone who has lost their luggage together and file a class action lawsuit against them. They don't care about the customers at all. I'm really pissed off. I only rode the bus because my Sister was coming back to Michigan and needed a driver.

My girlfriend and I were taking a greyhound bus from Gallup, NM to denver on July 28 2009 because my car had broken down and cost too much to fix. The guy who sold us tickets said they never lose bags so I didn't consider the option to insure your bags. It wasn't posted anywhere except on the ticket it small print, after the fact. We asked the bus driver if we needed to move our bags when we transfered but he assured us they would take care of it. In Denver the bag was gone and we couldn't file a claim for 48 hours. Well we sure didn't have time to wait around because we both work in fort Collins so we went home. After the 48 hours we get an email that says they could not find the bag and have 90 days to find it aka we don't have to pay you for 3 months. We lost most of our clothes, her moms camera, birth control, and important documents. So we went to the station in fort Collins and it was closed which wasn't indicated on the website. Since you must file a claim in person, we can't go to Denver we can't file a claim. We are in, they falsly assured us and have lost over 1000 dollars worth of stuff not to mention emotional stress

If u plan to sue them can u tell me what I have to do also. They have lost 2 suit cases of mine which had all my belongings in. Every time I try to talk to a csr or someone in corporate they all give me the run around. I will do whatever it takes to make it known how horrible this company is and I refuse to let them get away with all the negative things they have done to innocent people who pay them money just to have a decent trip. please respond asap thx

I was not told of an unscheduled bus change and by the time I was notified the original bus I was on was not only gone along with my carry on bag but nobody could tell me what bus I had been on as there were two buses coming from the same city. I was told to get on the new bus and they would handle this problem at my final destination. Yeah, right. Nobody helped or cared. My bag is gone along with several thousand dollars worth of stuff. I am a truck driver who was coming home after an accident so I had EVERYTHING in that bag. GPS system, computer, satellite radio and worst of all, memory cards that contained the only pictures of my children that I've taken over the last two years. It was stuff I didn't want left in my truck while it was being repaired. I was told not to check it, keep it with me to make sure it was safe.
