Well, it’s May 14, 2013, and it looks like the website hasn’t worked in several years, yes, that’s YEARS! Heads need to roll! (ok, bad joke)

Monty Python has the cheese shop sketch, Greyhound has their website.

The website is just the tip of the iceberg! The website is terrible true, but if it stops you from taking the bus with them – it’s doing you a favour!

I had a ticket this morning (which I had to go to a station to get because the website couldn’t find my city) and the bus came and went from the stop 20 minutes early. I passed it on my way to the stop! Was totally stranded and had to find a drive to my destination.

They did respond to my Twitter query, but offered me a travel voucher for future travel – first for less than my ticket was worth. Then they offered me the full ticket price as a voucher. But a refund? Not possible I was told – it was a non-refundable ticket. But if it’s your fault I didn’t use the ticket, shouldn’t you just give me my money back?

Customer service fail.

I just tried on both Chrome and Internet Explorer. I could not reach step 5 like many others had reported. The weird thing is I have seen this site work before on the same browsers. What a poorly supported site to have the same know issue at large for 4 years.

[...] How do you create a group? Start by naming the group based on its role in the design. Then use the name of the group as an ID at the top of the list and a class at the bottom. Then add the rest of the selectors that share properties above the descriptive class name that they share. Jeremy gives the example shown in Figure 1 in his presentation “DRY CSS: A don’t-repeat-yourself methodology for creating efficient, unified and Scalable styleshe….” [...]

I have used the Greyhound site 3-4 times a year to book tickets and never an Issue, even for the last 2-3 years.Not sure what people are doing wrong. I also work for a Greyhound agent and I can assure u the website is working fine, If it tells u no destination found it could be that it’s a flag stop or a small place, or its possible the schedule may not run on that day too,But if theirs ever issues Call your local Greyhound Agent, esepcailly in terms of schedule information!They can provide u with the best info!

This website is the worst. Languages get confused, can’t get to payment page (unless I add the submit button using a debugger myself on step 4). Payment doesn’t work on Firefox (does on Chrome). Also, pressing radio buttons works completely randomly. Payment confirmation page is awkward.

Complained and got a $25 voucher, I believe that’s not enough as I spent hours getting the tickets.

Comment on NetBeans Color Scheme: Solarized Dark with PHP Tweaks by jeremyclarke

Hey Tom Auger. Glad you found it useful. I actually switched over to using the Adobe Source Code Pro font as well. It’s one of the first ones I’ve found that works all over OSX without being rendered horribly (I’m not sure why it happens, but few other fonts look good in Terminal, and for some reason I feel the need to have the same fonts everywhere).
