    Having a heck of a time finding the hours the SMAT 5 and 6 lines show up at individual stops. Can anyone help?

    If you're dating someone as sexy as Barbi, you probably want to Maria. Get it. Marryher…read more So this bus station closes for 2 and 1/2 hours a day which is very California actually if you think about it. There was a time when it was 24 hours, no longer. It's not much to look at, but it is not the Santa Maria Greyhound bus station at East Boone Street, which closed maybe permanently, and they relocated to the Santa Maria Transit Center starting in 2016, and that's where this is. It's basically in the middle of town and has nice white look with brown roof on top of that. It's cute and it gets the job done. She asked for Maria so I Senther Maria.

    For the travel plan to be under the name "Greyhound", there's a distinct lack of those buses that…read moreactually existed. Allow me to elaborate. Yesterday, 8/6/2016, I had set up a ticket to take me from Santa Maria, Ca to Dickinson, ND. What we were told, since I had to have a friend purchase the ticket for me, being broke, was that all I required was the confirmation number and the password in case. I was ensured by Greyhound staff, that not having the physical ticket wasn't a problem. The bus that comes to pick me up at 7AM, not only was not a Greyhound Bus, but they also had no way of taking my number. Thankfully, that employee was a kind man and he allowed me to figure things out. Apparently, this isn't the first time it's happened. On this bus, and the website says, free wifi, power outlets and plenty of leg space. I only had wifi. They largely over exaggerated the leg space. It's no more than a standard bus seating arrangement and the wifi constantly blacked out and would not let me access Youtube. Upon troubleshooting, come to find out, Youtube was being purposefully blocked by their routers. I don't know why and it's a small thing inevitably, but this isn't where it ends. I go to my first transfer in Hanford and yet another bus of the same type is there to pick me up. She was brought up to speed on my issue already, so she already knew what to do. I had to go to Visalia, which was on the route anyway, to get a ticket printed and tags for my luggage. So fine, we get it done, it's good, no worries right? Wrong! The very next stop, we were given a lunch break and she said 30 minutes. That was enough time for me to track down lunch, only to see her leaving 10 MINUTES EARLY! As I friggin got back to the station, I see her pulling out. I then spent the next ten to fifteen minutes talking with a manager, who managed to get her to turn around. The woman then proceeded to treat me with disrespect and contempt, reminding me at each break of what I supposedly did to offend her. That pissed me off and because of it, I have been leery of leaving the bus ever since, unless food was literally right next to the buses. I then spent the next ten or so hours on hard iron, bloody benches at a layoff drop in Las Vegas. It was not comfortable, people and their luggage was cramped and the people there did not speak nearly loud enough or clearly enough to give proper direction. Several people including myself had to ask repeated times on our directions so we didn't screw up. When it finally came down to transfer, I finally get on an ACTUAL Greyhound bus and it was, admittedly, a nice improvement overall. The promised power outlets were on each seat and the wifi, of which I am currently using in the last leg of my trip. It was better, but for some reason Youtube was still blocked and I cant find a reason why. Regardless though... I can understand if this was some cheap transportation system from town to town, no more than maybe $100 total. But the tickets are expensive, especially for what I needed. My friend ended up purchasing the most expensive ticket because of the priority boarding (which didnt matter for most of my trip) and the two free bags. In short, the money was not worth it. The accommodations are not comfortable, the layaway times in my mind are simply preposterous and in the future, I'm gonna do my best to fly instead of using the Greyhound. My trip is supposed to 64 hours, but it is more than likely going to be around 70. I would rather toss the extra hundred dollars and fly to my destination, in comfort, under 8-9 hours. I wholly recommend against Greyhound unless you have no better option.

    Julie was fantastic! We were in a traffic collision while on vacation that resulted in our car…read morebeing towed and our family was stranded in Cambria with almost no cell service- on Memorial Day weekend. I frantically looked for taxis and came across Central Coast Taxi. Julie answered the phone and immediately put my mind to rest. She patiently explained that she would need to drive in from Pismo (1+ hr away) and how long it would take for her to get to us. She also provided helpful guidance on what we need to do to ensure SLO airport had a rental ready for us. She got to us on time and drove us to SLO airport. She went over and above to take us to the rental car pick up location after we got the car keys. Highly recommend Julie from Central Coast Taxi- She was punctual, kind and very knowledgeable. The cost was very reasonable too.

I contacted Central Coast taxi and spoke with Julie, who explained that there were no more taxi services in San Luis Obispo, but that she would be able to set up our return ride. She gave me Sammy's number to pre arrange for the ride and we were able to contact him with our arrival information. Then we texted him when we arrived and he was there to meet us as scheduled. He loaded our bags in his taxi and drove us directly home. Everything was very professional and we would definitely use Central Coast taxi again.
