I ride the bus and highly educated, everyone who rides is not a criminal. With that being said Greyhound the buses was sold to a German company that is who owns it.. The buildings that Greyhound owned were not part of the sale. That is why you are seeing them being moved from inner cities to neighborhoods or away from viable transportation. Also you have to know cities do have programs where they do give homeless one way tickets to other cities so that is an issue to.
I was at the midtown location once. A very aggressive homeless man kept bothering me for a lighter out in front. After I gave it to him, he pulled a glass pipe out and started smoking meth right in front of me. This was in the middle of the day. 😅
It’s awful in Chicago, and Atlanta. What got me was when I learned that they transport people being released from jail on Greyhound without the public’s knowledge. I was so done!
Yes I seen this once in downtown Fort Worth and they had their jail outfits on and waited for a greyhound. Don’t know what they are in for so it’s a bit scary
Back in 90-91 I travel Gray Hound from KCMO around upper States & some Western States on a $500 unlimited ticket for a few months. Areas like New York- New Jersey - Connecticut and Reno was worse for traveling. In New York passagers had to set on the dirty floors or stand till they left the area. The panhandlers knew when the police was coming through they would slip in & out the doors where you loaded. I did see the police walk up an talk to a young girl asking her age what her plans was telling her she had to come with them because the station was a bad place for under age because of sex trafficking.
I was wondering what happened to the Greyhound station. I knew that McDonald's was going; but I was shocked when I came home to visit. I feel for the citizens of that neighborhood though. Downtown was a much better location, rather than bringing all of that into a place full of families and children 😢🤦🏽
I'm from Houston and got food at that McD's next to the Greyhound in Downtown Dallas a couple of years ago and it reminded me of the McD's that was next to the Greyhound Station in Midtown Houston but they demolished it already it was nicknamed McLegacy after.
As a former Greyhound Bus Driver the people who are being released from prison normally aren't the problem. In fact, I never had an issue with a person being released from prison. They're normally on their best behavior just happy to be going home.
I worked for Burlington Trailways and I NEVER had an issue with from on my buses . But it’s true about dropping off people who had been released from prison and I was on a route that I would do pick ups from those getting out of jail and they NEVER gave me any trouble . They just thanked me for getting them to their destinations and got off . It’s not a Greyhound problem , not a bus station problem , it’s a PEOPLE problem.
@@oladeebiazazi4538 Correction. We need public transit to reduce the amount of CARS on the road. But that doesn't work as long as we have infrequent buses that get stuck in traffic and will never be faster than driving.
I used to own a casino tour bus company, and restaurants like IHOP loved to have a bus and gave us free parking for the bus to leave. Not everyone would eat before or after, but a good percentage would.
Greyhound isn't moving to any industrial area. At least not anytime soon. It cost them a lot of money to make this move so they're staying put for an indeterminate amount of time. Get used to it East side.
@@TheeHuntress The new high rises, that went up around the area that once used to be nothing but ghetto tenement slums! The McDonald's building tore down, I'm sure the old Greyhound building will follow through! To be replaced by high rise condominiums that the didn't do nothing will never be able to afford! That's what I'm talking about, you buffoon idiot!
@@TheeHuntress The area has been gentrified, soon the properties the McDonald's and Greyhound bus station sat on, will follow through with lucrative high rises, where none of the cogs that previously lived in that area will ever afford to live in! Okay, yes ma'am! 🤗
Don't get your hopes up because the original owners of that mall will never allow that. They'd rather leave it empty for years than to convert it to a transit hub.
It got so bad even in my small town the closed it because of the same people i guess its not as bad at other station's were the same people are not around
I doubt an ex-convict will step off the bus then immediately rob someone. If you can afford it then try and show compassion and understanding and give them a drink or food. Panhandling is someone's 1st amendment right but they should not harass people who don't want to give
Greyhound Sucks Balls my Bags where stolen and they gave me the run around for 6 months and yes you cant get off the bus without being harassed by Crackheads.
TDCJ doesn’t release their Parolees unless they have a good place to be released to!! So they can’t blame TDCJ for their own negligence of not being able to properly secure their own business and provide security for the customers!!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Idk about a good place lol more like any address thats verified by BOP. Honestly I would be more concerned about the criminals who might be on the run more than the ones who just got out of prison
😅Lol no. They are definitely not keeping people in prison for being homeless. Plenty of those guys have no family or friends to 'sponsor' them. Also, not everyone released will be on parole and require supervision.🤷🏽
RIP, drive respectively each other people. Crime stoper is freaking joke because my witness left numerous massage anonymously and never got answer. My witness personally went to police station to report. When people or our leader want to defund the police? Consequences are devastating without answer.
The very last thing anybody getting out of jail wants to do is go make some victims regardless of the propaganda. This is the criminalization of being poor
THEIR ORDINANCES ARE NOT LAWS AND ARE NOT BACKED UP BY THE CONSTITUTION. THAT BUS STATION IS A PUBLIC PLACE. ASKING PEOPLE FOR HELP (PANHANDLING) IS NOT ILLEGAL IN THIS COUNTRY. HOUSTON HAVE TERRIBLE LEADERSHIP.
Houston city ordinances are constitutional as long as they do not conflict with the Texas or federal constitution, statutes, or court decisions. The bus station is owned by Greyhound, a private business.
The answers are far more intelligent than the typical Fox slanted " fair and balanced" reporting. I see.JBL and Tatum with the Mic. Just don't walk thru the wrong neighborhood or Karen will call in for a 😂 suspicious looking guy.
Wrong.. I worked for a Fortune 100 company and took Greyhound and Amtrak every where. I been on the bus with all types of people from teachers, to truck drivers going back home, not everyone is riff raff. Trust me Greyhound is not even cheap anymore.
That’s not necessarily true! I fly to Cali or FL atleast once a year I just like greyhound because I like road trips. Ive taken it many times and the worst thing I’ve ever seen was police stopping the bus and checking everyone’s luggage and belongings for Drugs..
BUILD SRO's, which were knocked down and contributed to homelessness. "Most SROs were originally intended to be short-term accommodations for seasonal male workers, as well as young families, and recent immigrants, in the early 1900s. Two hotels which would later become notorious, the Balmoral and the Regent, were even considered luxury accommodations. However, first the Depression and then the 1970s closure of psychiatric hospitals (and attendant lack of regard or care of mentally ill Vancouverites), along with the flight of the wealthy and middle class to the suburbs, contributed to the decline and lack of investment in the Downtown Eastside. By the 1970s and 1980s, Vancouver SROs' reputations were poor. A 1989 University of British Columbia thesis by Mercedes Mompel Antolin asserted that only 10-20% of SROs were of good or acceptable quality at the time of writing. And even by 1989, the number of SROs was diminishing: 2,704 units were lost in the period between 1978 and 1986, largely due to the pressures of an increasingly hot real estate market."
Here this Hispanic man complaining about crime at greyhounds bus station and at the same time criminals illegals are rampant living freely in the same neighborhood he complaining about crime what a joke!!! Maybe we needs to check his legal status .

Ahhhh ok now it makes sense
most are thugs just like most homeless are on drugs
That’s crazy. Who owns the old Greyhound buildings?
There's still bad apples among the bunch, always will be

Wat color he was 😂
@@gonzalogutierrez4748 black

IT IS NOT THE BUS STATION IT IS THE LACKNOF POLICE PRESENCE AND COMPETENT SECRUITY AGENCIES THAT KNOWS HOW TO FOLLOW THE LAW
It is the thugs that have taken over our streets and no one else is to blame!
It’s awful in Chicago, and Atlanta. What got me was when I learned that they transport people being released from jail on Greyhound without the public’s knowledge. I was so done!
Yes I seen this once in downtown Fort Worth and they had their jail outfits on and waited for a greyhound. Don’t know what they are in for so it’s a bit scary
The sad thing is Greyhound has been doing this for years because it's the ex-inmate's ONLY way home.
Thats every grey hound station in every city

Well in Dallas after 45 yr they have decided to close down their downtown Greyhound location too 😮
😮
Im from Dallas but living in Ireland currently. When did that happen and where are they rerouted to?
I couldn't stand having to wait at that station
I'm from Houston and got food at that McD's next to the Greyhound in Downtown Dallas a couple of years ago and it reminded me of the McD's that was next to the Greyhound Station in Midtown Houston but they demolished it already it was nicknamed McLegacy after.
They're moving it ???? Dam , i liked that greyhound it was close to McDonald's.

I’ve road more than a few Grey Hounds. Every station is in fact dangerous.
I know about the Orlando and Miami, ft Lauderdale stations . They are dangerous
Is that why Flixbus started shutting down stations nationwide?
I worked for Burlington Trailways and I NEVER had an issue with from on my buses . But it’s true about dropping off people who had been released from prison and I was on a route that I would do pick ups from those getting out of jail and they NEVER gave me any trouble .

The Greyhound bus driver s were mostly hostile. I didn't like most of them because how they were treated the people.
There's nothing they can say that will ever help the neighborhood stay safe now...
exactly why you don't take public transit in USA
Greyhound isn’t considered public transportation. It’s a corporation, not a government agency.
Right plus we need public transportation to reduce the amount of people on the road
@@oladeebiazazi4538 Correction. We need public transit to reduce the amount of CARS on the road. But that doesn't work as long as we have infrequent buses that get stuck in traffic and will never be faster than driving.

that bus station has been there longer than anyone complaining
Greyhound the ground version of Sprit Airlines.
Greyhound was here way before spirit...it laid the foundation 😮
@@cruzdeleon1888 Wow really who knew.
Absolutely true, where have you been, are you one of the millennial idiots! @@georgemichael9106
It ain't funny but 🤔. . . 🤭🤭🤭
Reverse that. Spirit is the Greyhound of airlines.
Instead of running from the problem face it and do something about it. ❤
Imagine if Greyhound put their stations in Walmarts.
That would be an improvement.
Walmart doesn't even allow buses on their property, especially public transit.
I used to own a casino tour bus company, and restaurants like IHOP loved to have a bus and gave us free parking for the bus to leave. Not everyone would eat before or after, but a good percentage would.
This is a problem for Greyhound in all major cities...for years...Most of my 57 year lifetime...
Greyhound isn't moving to any industrial area. At least not anytime soon. It cost them a lot of money to make this move so they're staying put for an indeterminate amount of time. Get used to it East side.
Hang in there Houston. The street will get cleaned up before we host the World Cup.
They need to hiring some security people tho
Man shut greyhound down apparently they dnt care everywhere they go it’s. Crazy
Also the train. Criminals use the train to hit communities and quickly jump back on to get away.
It has always been that way around bus stations
It all comes down to terrible land use.
If they really concerned they need to put a few armed security guards in there
Wow they moved it from the lucrative downtown high-rises to your local neighborhood! All done by design!
😂 Lucrative high-rises, where?? The old, downtown Greyhound station was trash/dope fiend central🤦🏽
@@TheeHuntress The new high rises, that went up around the area that once used to be nothing but ghetto tenement slums!

They should move it to the Northwest Mall, the whole mall is empty.
Don't get your hopes up because the original owners of that mall will never allow that. They'd rather leave it empty for years than to convert it to a transit hub.
I remember getting released from TDC after 20 years for murder
WHERE YOU FROM ESE
It got so bad even in my small town the closed it because of the same people i guess its not as bad at other station's were the same people are not around
No comment is good enough for this complicated situation!
Don't trust humans.
Even amtrak stations have been abandoned with no employees or security leaving their riders to be robbed by the local criminals.
I doubt an ex-convict will step off the bus then immediately rob someone. If you can afford it then try and show compassion and understanding and give them a drink or food. Panhandling is someone's 1st amendment right but they should not harass people who don't want to give
Are there any updates?

Greyhound station it's doesn't matter where place move it's third world international way travel America 😂😂😂🤡🤡🤡🤡
They should move it back downtown where it belongs.
THIS IS ANOTHER WAY FOR THESE PEOPLE TO CRIMINALIZE HOMELESSNESS INSTEAD OF FINDING WAYS TO HELP PEOPLE. THEY THINK THEY ARE BETTER THAN US!
USA created a people problem from years of benefits for breeding programs. they lack all basic skills for survival as normal folks do
I agree that people should be helped. What I have an issue with, is when you aggressively harass me, making me your problem!
The Street People (the term homeless is the misuse of a term) live on the street because they don’t want to follow the rules in a shelter.
It’s a Chithole like New York City
They need a New Bus Statio

How did an illegal immigrant obtain a seat onto the City Council there in Houston, TX?
Houston Tx blue city, his district is 99.9999 hispanic with the random white or black.
Do you have proof that the councilman is an illegal immigrant?
The same way your ancestors did when they came her salt back.. politicking
Why can’t I stop the video
My brother picked me up from prison in a convertible red Porsche and dropped me off at the metrorail to go to a halfway house. 😂😂😂
