Greyhound Canadian Customer Service

Calling Greyhound for a customer service question or concern is a simple process, but it does require some time on the phone. As soon as I called, an automated system prompted me to press 1 for English, 2 for French and 3 for Spanish. I chose 1 and had to sit through a few minutes' worth of automated recordings that shared basic information about Greyhound's policies.

The recordings began by informing me that my personal data would be collected over the phone for booking and that I could ask for that information to be deleted if it was no longer needed. Another recording addressed the safety of customers and employees by stating that masks are optional inside terminals and on buses, unless required by state or local municipalities, and that cleaning procedures have been enhanced. The system advised me to visit Greyhound's website to learn more.

After the messages, I was directed to a menu of options asking me to choose from selections for fares and schedules, bookings, questions related to immigration travel, bus stop locations, bus tracking and first-time traveler assistance. As a new traveler, I was calling to find out if Greyhound offered any current deals or promos so selected the option for first-time traveler to proceed. 

This led me to another menu that included choosing from boarding, baggage, tickets, child traveling tips or other requests. Not sure which to choose, I opted for other requests and was told to stay on the line to speak with a representative. The wait was less than a few minutes before an employee was on the phone.

They asked how I could be helped, and I explained I was a new traveler seeking information about ticket deals or promos, as I was considering a bus trip to another city in my state. The agent asked if I had any details on my destination, where I'd be leaving from and the possible departure and return dates. After sharing my plans, the agent explained that information about deals could be found on Greyhound's website, adding that lower ticket prices are available when you book in advance and travel midweek as buses tend to be less full. In addition, they said that there are often winter travel deals, depending on the destination.

I was also told that veterans receive ticket discounts, and Greyhound offers competitive rates for groups traveling together. As neither of these applied to me, I told the agent I'd most likely be traveling on my own. They directed me to the website where I could input my travel information, adding that I could also download Greyhound's app for faster and more convenient service. They said the app would allow me to make changes to my booking, track my bus and stay up to date on any delays.

At this point, I had what I needed and thanked them for the help. The call took about 10-15 minutes and was an efficient use of time thanks to a knowledgeable agent.
