    The running dog. When your leaving one city to another to start your new life leaving the past behind your watching out the window as the bus makes a series of turns then getting on the open highway not knowing your future it’s pretty exciting and scary at the same time.

    I LOVE GREYHOUND... It's a fantastic experience, as you meet a wide range of people, and get to know them during the trip. I'd MUCH rather take Greyhound than drive myself, as from those big bus windows, you really get to enjoy what a beautiful country we live in
    I had a bus break down occasionally, but Greyhound took care of everything, so can honestly say, I' have never had a bad experience on Greyhound...

      in 2015 my 7:15 transfer bus in Columbus OH was broken down we waited 2hrs for the mechanic to come from Toledo then after an hour couldnt fix it and all they could do was put us on next bus going west with a major layover in St Louis i said no i want another option so they said a backup bus would come in an hour not telling me there were no seats left on my next transfer bus & gave me a new ticket where id have to wait in Nashville for 8hrs worse than the other option i passed on, i had to cancel my trip & get a full refund and a free ticket back to PGH dammit

      @@johnfortunato1192 hey, life is tough sometimes, and we get inconvenienced. Unless Greyhound deliberately harmed you, with gross negligence, perhaps it's best to just go with the flow.
      I've been on Greyhound buses that broke down too (just as your car could), and Greyhound did their best to make it right.

      Greyhound has changed MUCH since then! I would rather WALK or BIKE to my destination than ride Greyhound. Flix purchased Greyhound. Greyhound has become a shi* show since the late 1990s.😡

      I love Greyhound, and my last trip with my grandson, we have an 18 hours lay over, because of the same reason, "NO BUS DRIVER" we were heading East, N.C and when we got to Atlanta Ga, we missed our conversation, so we had another 18 hours for our next bus, but I didn't mind, I meant a lot of people anytime went fast. As long as we were okay, and arrive safe and sound, and I'm going to do it again, if God's willing, I have stop because the pandemic.

  • @backpacktrot
    @backpacktrot  13 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    @PrettyGurlBankZ Good luck with your endurance attempt! :) Take as many fully charged camera batteries & chargers as you can, as at 98% of the breaks there isn't enough time to fully recharge any single battery. A little power bar (at least a 1-to-3) that can fit all your chargers onto it at the same time is also important to have, as other passengers will want to charge their phones, too. You'll be kept too busy to feel bored by the long ride-and that's probably a good thing. Good luck!

      @thomasjsanford9991 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      I'm a train buff, but passenger train service here in the US is rediculous. Amtrak costs as much as flying, and takes longer than Greyhound, primarily because Amtrak doesn't own any of the track, but uses rail lines that are owned by the major railroad companies, and FREIGHT trains have priority.

    I don't understand. So when you get to ur station to switch buses, you go in the waiting room and check in or do you buy another ticket at the counter?? Plz help my girl friend is goin on a greyhound by herself and I'm freakin out

    • @backpacktrot
      @backpacktrot  8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Whether you buy the ticket online (usually much cheaper) or walking up to a Greyhound ticket counter, your origin-to-destination ticket will contain all the ticket coupons needed to get on each additional connecting bus down the line (if connections are needed to get to the destination). The terminal seating (often on hard metallic chairs these days) is for the passengers "comfort" (as long as the passengers changes sitting position often :D) does have a ticket counter as well, but this doesn't mean one has to buy a new ticket every time one sees a ticket counter. Happy travels!

    • @backpacktrot
      @backpacktrot  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      One way is to just look lost. Security will ask to see your ticket so they know you're entitled to go into the waiting room. They'll also tell you the door number and the time if you prefer not to read this info printed on the next tear-off coupon on your ticket.

      they relocated the station in the early 2000's to a better part of the city, in the 80's/90's it was in east St louis like the ghetto/crime area and we were told to not stray from the station during layovers lol
