Ive been threatened to be stabbed and driver left the guy in the middle of nowhere hundreds of miles from the nearest town , crazy drunken parties in the back of the bus , dykes doing meth in their seats . Greyhound is for the people too broke to afford 159 AA flight . it might be a smooth no worries ride or the craziest shit youve ever seen . We picked up inmated being released from a prison on one stop. |

User ID: 79788558 United States03/09/2021 08:39 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I've only been halfway across the US in a bus and my three words of advice are...don't do it. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 79313557 This. Miserable experience. But if you're set on it make sure you have plenty of snacks and drinks in a carry on bag for the longer legs of the trip. You can't count on the busses electric outlets to work for charging a phone. You also can't count on the bus not breaking down and be prepared to get screwed over and missing a changeover due to being late. Most of the time you make it but...it happens more often than you would think. They also won't think twice about tossing you off and leaving you stranded in the middle of nowhere. Seriously. ETA: in the layovers in big cities it's advised to stay inside the bus station. Especially if you aren't used to big cities. It's not a good scene.

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 78139144 03/09/2021 08:44 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I tried to go from Dallas to Knoxville on a bus back in the late 80's. Made it to Little Rock and threw in the towel. I can't imagine what it must be like now. I guess it could be better now,if less peeps is on the road. I wouldn't go anywhere right now unarmed and without at least one other person whose head is also on a swivel. A Greyhound may not be the way. You should remain where you're at and just stay much too high. If you gotta go,though,try to find a trucker to ride with. |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 78524532 United States03/09/2021 08:48 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Well, I've only taken one Greyhound bus trip in my life and it was a complete looney bin. I think one couple went back to have sex in the bathroom. The woman next to me was having a conversation with herself for the whole 5 hour trip. What I'm trying to say, is that imagine all the crazy psychos on GLP, put them on a bus and that's what you've got. They will probably all try to "red pill" you, and not orally if you know what I mean. Good luck, write if you make it through alive! |

User ID: 78973486 United States03/09/2021 08:50 PM  Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | thanks for the suggestion but, nah. im most likely gonna be taking a bus.... this is gonna suck ass  and these replies have me even more sketched out!!!  try Megabus for whatever part of the route you can. I like it, my daughter liked it, for many reasons. cheap tends to stop at either parking lots on college campuses or at suburban mall locations.... no messy terminals to deal with. I really liked Megabus and I am NOT easy to please. When it comes to buses or trains, or planes, I want to be comfortable and safe. Megabus was both.
