  This is the only transit facility at which I've truly worried for my personal safety. As with most Greyhound stations, it is located in a not-so-upscale part of town, which on its own does not concern me. However, it was staffed on both days I went through by the same single attendant who was not especially attentive. On the arrival date, I was picked up after a brief wait, but for my departure, I arrived early as Greyhound recommends... and then the bus was 45 minutes late, so it was a long visit.
  
  There were a number of people fighting loudly immediately outside the glass storefront, people coming in begging for money, people inside arguing out loud with themselves, etc. The attendant frequently went to a back room, but the above all happened while he was present.
  
  There is a bathroom in a supply closet in the way back of the waiting area, behind numerous poorly stacked shipping containers. Given the steady stream of people off the street using it, I chose to skip it, so can't say what condition it was in. There are no vending machines, but there were benches to sit on (I guess I can give it credit for that at least).
  
  I've spent a fair amount of time in a number of transit centers in some lousy areas, and while always cautious as a woman frequently traveling alone, this honestly was the only place I've felt truly scared for my safety.
  
  Oh, one other note: they do shipping (hence the big stack of boxes), but I sure wouldn't use them. While waiting to stow luggage under the bus, I watched the driver and attendant remove the boxes that had been shipped - including watching them toss onto the sidewalk several items clearly marked "fragile."
