ever taken a greyhound bus across country{USA}? looking for advice

Port Authority Bus Terminal

I guess i am a snob...


because i Always see ....BUS PEOPLE...and i think...They must be the lowest of what we have in the country ....

I say ...BUSssssss PEOPLEeeee ......Like newmannnnn....

lol...I dont know,i have always seen dirty people on BUS Types...


I would not ride on a bus....Sure my mom took me when little on busses to our Religious conventions ...But that with ..LIKE MIND PEOPLE ...That were good...and it was in the early 80s ...

But now days....NO WAY ...I remember seeing ...star trek 4 the voyage home ...







Ya Dirty people...lol

I had a few times in my youth. It's rough. Long haul bus is tedious. You stop at damn near every city along the way. Even small towns. You don't get a lot of time at the stops. Some stops you'll barely have time to smoke a cig.

Things to carry with you.

1. Wet wipes, trust me you'll need them or you'll be stanky.
2. Plenty of cash, to eat with.
3. You're idea of taking gummies, is great, but DON'T let anyone see you eat them. Some states they are illegal in !!!
4. Get the back seat asap, so you can lay down to sleep, fetal but it's better than sleeping sitting up.
5. If you make friends along the way, don't tell them shit about what you are carrying on the bus. NOTHING.
6. Carry plenty of water with you too, if the bus breaks down, you don't know how long you'll be trapped on the side of the road.
7. Carry a knife.

Good luck.

@ the internet...


SAN FRANCISCO TO BOSTON (6 HOURS) $120 ONE-WAY & $200 ROUND-TRIP !

hmm.. maybe nut up and just fly.... this does sound kind of treacherous.

Remember the chinese dude riding a greyhound that decapitated A passenger then started eating the person.

Ill never forget that news.

No self respecting terrorist would lower themself to take a bus, just sayin'.

You might also get debussed in some downtown city after midnight and bus station closed. what will you do? Better have numbers of cabs and hotels ready

oh hell no id stay awake and sit in the bus station you never leave once you start the trip dude that would be asking for problems.

Please do. It's great to see that shit.

Also you will have to delouse after bus and train, no kidding

A lot of stations close at night, there's no sitting in some of them after midnight

I did it when I was a teen. Be prepared for a slow ride, with lots of stops. I didn't mind that. I didn't sleep at all, went from FL to WI, stayed awake whole time.

I tend to make friends easy, so I had a blast. Just so happened there ended up being 3 people my age and we were playing games and all kind of stuff.

The way back, not so fun, sat next to an old racist lady, LOL, so I think I just read or looked out the window.

The thing to be most prepared for are the stops. They tend to be in the REALLY bad parts of town. When you see rape warnings in the bathrooms, you know it's not good.

Also, if you do get off at a stop, make sure and get back on early, these guys won't wait.

I'd say the train was actually more fun, less worry about stops, etc., step up in quality of people, kind of exciting, you have a scenic car that faces outwards on the Silverstreak from DC to Chicago, pretty fun.

I was sitting in the Greyhound terminal and some Mexican was chugging down a tequila bottle and couldn't stop talking to me

Just from Michigan to New Hampshire took forever it seemed. Broke down once and my last stop was Dover to New Hampshire, I go in to find out no bus goes to New Hampshire from Dover lol.

Had to sit on the steps waiting for my brother in law to drive from New Hampshire to get me lol. Train is nice.

Terminals open. 24/7

well then. good thing for being a "dynamic leader" AKA loner.... i know how to handle myself.

Gone from Los Angelos to Louisiana. Expect to spend time in jail for carrying THC gummy bears with and remember that buses are under federal control and on federal highways so felony charges and federal prison. Not to mention every podunk town and bus station you go to has police waiting on buses to arrive especially from states that have legal marijuana as they know there is always at least one person dumb enough to bring it with them, they know exactly what to look for, they know the brands, and everything. The ride itself will not be fun especially with the influx of immigrants who are being bused out to everywhere so don’t count on social distancing as they will cram it full. Take a phone charger but don’t expect the bus to have a place for you to charge it as it’s every 4 seats and unless you have a knife in one hand and a gun in the other you will never have a chance to charge it. Best bet to find a cheap flight and just go with it as you will not enjoy the bus trip

Did you PAY ATTENTION OP to the warnings?

I'd rather walk across the country!

Biggest piece of shit thing you could possibly do. Hitch hike or steal a car. The bus is the biggest shitbag you could ever get in.

Don't do it! You'll regret it and you'll NEVER take Greyhound again!

DO A RIDESHARE!

7 day pass would be about 2 days of car rental

We had a bat/sh/t crazy driver, was acting really weird, and then stopped in the middle of nowhere, and didn't let us off, and we're all freaking out, but he ended up smoking a cig and then getting back on the bus.

i would rather walk too, but it takes too long.
well then again, how long does it take on a bike? like a month?

hmmm... maybe we're on to something. could get sponsored and raise fundage for cancer kids or some other charitable cause.

People warning..never been on Greyhound
