Hi:
After exploration I found this page with various contact information:
https://www.greyhound.com/en/help-and-info/contact-us

And on that page, this piece of text after clicking a tab "difficulty
typing or reading a screen":

Difficulty typing or reading a screen?
If you have problems with typing, moving a mouse or reading a screen,
eSSENTIAL AccessibilityTM can help you use the Greyhound website.Call
us:
1-866-333-3909Open 24/7

There is also an Email link that I did not click on that page.

I tried Firefox with NVDA; I only found edit boxes to type into but
those boxes would not recognize what I typed by showing it in those
edit fields.
Troublesome...
