My grandfather was a Greyhound bus driver for 40 years. He was a real stand-up guy, very much my role model. He lived a good life, traveled the world, travelled the country, and when I die, I want to die just like him, peacefully in my sleep, and not screaming in terror like his passengers.

I like how all of the bus drivers essentially begin their announcements with "listen up motherfuckers"

I took a Greyhound to Mexico with my 1 year old son 12 years ago. It was such a horrible experience it brought me to tears. But I will say that at one point my son started crying nonstop because he wanted his bottle and I was out of milk. The people on the bus started sucking their tongues and huffing and puffing because they were annoyed with my son crying (understandably because we are all trying to get sleep) needless to say it just made me feel so much more helpless, especially after hearing that we wouldn't be stopping again until 6:00 a.m.. However, the bus driver heard my son and stopped to ask why he was crying and I told him because I was out of milk. In the kindest voice he said "it's okay honey I'll stop at the next gas station" he actually got out of the bus and grabbed the milk and filled my son's bottle and heated it in the microwave for me because I had my son in my hands. Needless to say we got back on the bus and within 5 minutes my son crashed out while drinking his bottle. I still think about that man to this day. All the other bus drivers were so hateful but he showed kindness to me in that moment and I'll never forget it ❤

That last bus driver is a legend. Starts off telling everyone not to piss him off; promises to make their ride “as painful as possible”. Ends by telling them he loves them to enthusiastic claps and cheers.

Last greyhound trip I took I sat in the back next to some guy wearing 5 hats, after some time I struck up a conversation with him, and I ask “you seem like a normal guy, what is up with the 5 hats?” He says “oh yeah I do that so no one wants to sit next to the crazy guy wearing 5 hats an I get the seat to myself” lol if I ever ride greyhound again I’ll be wearing 5 hats.

Greyhound's slogan is: You must have had no other option.

"Don't make me throw you off the bus"

Such a lovely welcome aboard.

Greyhound should do an ad that says, "You think you are tough? Take our NY to LA Greyhound challenge."

[mikej]

This video could be an ad for Greyhound with the slogan

'You got there alive, didn't you?'

[thememe]

The driver just driving off leaving people stranded is the most greyhound thing ever 😂😂😂

I did this exact route from Philly to LA. Every stop along the way. It was absolutely brutal. I tapped out in Texas on the way back after a 2 day delay in Albuquerque and dealing with Greyhound forcing us to sleep on the floor. Absolute hell. Some decent views. I did see parts of the country I would not have otherwise but the people, the drivers, Greyhound staff, and the ride itself are HELL.

Back in 2019 I wanted to take a slow sightseeing trip from SF to LA and relax with gorgeous scenery. I could pick between the Coast Starlight or a Greyhound bus. I figured I would see more from the train with its panorama car. While freezing to death with the airco blazing overnight, I thought it was a shame I didn't pick the bus. After this video: Thanks for making me appreciate the memory of the Coast Starlight all the more.

I'm not gonna poop on the bus.

For years, Greyhound has been a "bucket list" adventure. Having watched this, I just put a hole in that bucket and ensured that trip goes straight through it

Best argument for real-time, long-route, well-regulated railroad passenger system, subsidized as a vital public service,
just as the railroads should have been federally subsidized from the beginning, as they are in almost every other country.

It's a miracle you actually made it. I will never look at greyhound the same way! It was aweful. Glad you are safe.

[elishasnavely]

Like you mentioned: most of those people don’t have a choice. And Greyhound probably knows it, as well as knowing that those who don’t have means are less likely to bring legal action or anything similar. It’s so disappointing.

[terrifictomm]

The bus driver let you on without a valid ticket because he believed your story, KNOWING no one in their right mind would tell such a lie just to get on a Greyhound bus!😜

I travelled across Canada to Whitehorse Yukon on greyhound. Five days, four nights. Never been that far west before. I didn’t want to eat at roadside diners and donut shops so as we entered a town I’d look for grocery stores. If one was near the bus stop and if we were stopped for 30 min or more, I’d load up on fresh fruit, veggies, tuna, crackers, pb and jam and wraps.

There was only one incident. A guy tried to smoke on the bus, driver made him put it out, and at next stop driver said, “you’re done. You don’t come back on the bus, go talk to the agent”.

I really enjoyed the trip. Gorgeous scenery. I paid extra for front seat. Going through the mountains for the first time….wow!

One of my favorite experiences is driving down the highway as the sun is coming up early in the morning. That feeling of being cold and tired but at the same time excited with some good music playing
