My fondest memory of crossing over the border from Montreal on a Greyhound into the US was being at the customs building and some young college kid for some reason owed $10 (American Dollars) for some reason to the CBP. He was Canadian and only had Canadian cash on him and they didn't accept Canadian Dollars and there was no ATM or exchange for him within the CBP building. So we all heard the border guard tell him to basically go beg the other Greyhound riders for $10 to be able to cross into the USA. So he went and started asking people like a sad beggar. I gave him a crisp Alexander Hamilton since if I was in that situation, I'd hope someone would do the same for me. On the bus later, he gave me $20 (Canadian Dollars) and I was thrilled due to the fact that I made like $6 or $7 (American Dollars), due to the exchange rate, by being considerate to a fellow rider.

You rode by my house in vermont right off 89 and didn't say hi. This feels like a disservice, never watching again!

I did the reverse of this trip, Boston to Montreal, and they lost the bus driver. Yes, you read that right. They lost the bus driver. We were delayed 12 hours overnight, stuck in South Station bus terminal.

Riding Greyhound equals hell on earth.

I used to take this trip every year to go from Ottawa to Boston for PAX East. It was way cheaper than flying and totally not a big deal. When I first started though, they didn't check passports before boarding and there was a time or two the bus would get very delayed at the border due to paperwork issues. This video made me feel a bit nostalgic for those PAX trips.

I enjoy a greyhound ride. I took it from Ny to Pittsburgh a few months ago. will be taking it from Albuquerque to Lubbock and Lubbock to Dallas in January

[olegdepapa]

There's a neat ferry you can take from Burlington to Plattsburgh or vice versa too over the lake Champlain, $17 I think.

I just took a Greyhound bus from Albuquerque to Houston and it took 24 hours and 3 buses across Texas.

I rode greyhound a lot over the years, I remember the first time Pittsburgh to Atlanta in 1971. The lights looked so beautiful at night going through different towns and cities. Haven't rode one since about 92. The drivers were always courteous, I hear that's not the case now! Not easy to sleep, but I liked to sit in the back and sip on a pint of whiskey!

You deserve a million more subs. This kind of travel is more realistic for us than anyone elses out there.

[SteamSuperHEater]

this is like one of those travel vlog channels but the trips are actually mostly affordable to the average person

also that exchange with the customs officer and the philosophy student was hilarious lol

White River Junction served as the location for the filming of director D.W. Griffith's 1920 silent romantic drama film Way Down East, in part filmed on the Connecticut and White Rivers, starring Lillian Gish and Richard Barthelmess. It is an adaptation of the melodramatic 19th century play of the same name by Lottie Blair Parker. Way Down East is the fourth-highest grossing silent film in cinema history, taking in more than 4.5 million at the box office in 1920.

Montpelier is the smallest state capital by population! Yup, more people live in Juneau! Montpelier is famously also the only US state capital without a McDonald's, although neighboring Barre has McD's locations. The first permanent settlement of what's now Montpelier began in May 1787, when Colonel Jacob Davis and General Parley Davis arrived from Charlton, MA. General Davis surveyed the land, while Colonel Davis cleared forest and built a large log house by the Winooski River. His family moved in the following winter. Colonel Davis selected the name "Montpelier" after the French city of Montpellier, capital of the department of Hérault, because of loving the French for their aid to the colonies during the revolution. Montpelier was the hometown of George Dewey, the hero of Battle of Manila Bay in the Spanish-American War, who was Admiral of the Navy, the only person in United States history to have attained that rank! He won the Battle of Manila Bay with the loss of only a single crewman on the American side! The Winooski River, which drains an area between Burlington and Montpelier, comes from the Abenaki word winoskik meaning "at wild onion land"

I'm taking an overnight trip next weekend San Antonio TX-New Orleans LA for a wasn't my first choice, I was hoping to fly the night before, but Taylor Swift is playing at the Superdome that same weekend so hotel rooms were RIDICULOUSLY expensive, and really didn't want to get up at 3am the day of and take a 5:30am flight (Which also wasn't super cheap either....Probably high demand that weekend) so I (Reluctantly) decided to pay the $80 for Greyhound. I've taken overnights before, and after popping some Melatonin, can manage at least some decent power naps throughout the night...At least enough to get me through the day. Haven't rode Greyhound in like 10-12 years so it should be interesting....But at least I am flying back to SA after spending a few days in NO post Cruise

I havent even watched the video yet but I could not imagine a nightmare worse than a Greyhound redeye with US customs!!!

This makes me miss both cities (Boston 2022, Montreal 2023) I’m heading to Montreal maybe in 2025, so that’s a win.

Ahhh fun times. When I travelled Canada and the US when I visited from Australia in 2018 I got to the border and the whole system was down for hours. They let the bus through with all the US citizens onboard and everybody else like myself had to wait hours for the system to be back up and running and then they had to send another bus for the rest of us to get to Boston. Was an eventual and very long day. Of note, the gruff and overbearing US border patrol agents were not very sympathetic to non-US citizens.
