Flixbus bought Greyhound 🚌 Greyhound Honest Review 

I always had good experiences with Greyhound. I was a very frequent passenger. My job at the time required me to travel to various places across the country. When I was at the San Bernardino station, they knew I was going pick up trucks in Az. Or other places. They made sure I was considered a priority and got me where I needed to be. All drivers made sure I got to my destinations. An old friend retired from Greyhound. Many drivers knee him or were trained by him. Thank you, Greyhound, for helping me make money.

My trip on this disgusting bus line was horrible. They sell tickets and have no drivers .. every connection I missed and had to wait hours for a bus driver. YOU ALSO WHEN YOU MISS THE CONNECTION YOU HAVE TO CALL GREYHOUND TO CHANGE YOUR TICKETS. The customer service sucks that are at the terminals because they know nothing and do nothing

I couldnt believe i was traveling with a you tuber....im the one that has the baby!!! Hope to travel together again!!

January 20, 2024. I was departing from Montréal to NY, but trip cancelled due to the mechanical issue, and there was no spare bus. The Greyhound driver even said that ever since Flix aquired Greyhound, it's gone down the drain, and not unusual that many bus trips are cancelled without notice. In the past, if the bus was full, they'd add an extra bus. No longer the case anymore.

I’m a former Greyhound driver (1989-1996) and the CEO had no desire to invest back into Greyhound. Instead, him and his team would squeeze every dollar they could get out of the company. We use to have the worst equipment & passengers out on the road.

First of all, where can I find passengers to bring me starbies?!😂 I'm a driver based out of Atlanta and having passengers with the attitude you carried is what makes for a good trip (even with crying babies 😅)! I also want to point out a not so fun- fun fact- that was not an emergency exit door, that is where a wheelchair passenger will enter the coach. The seats near the wheel chair door and on the other side (because a bus can carry up to 2 wheelchair passengers at once) can be folded a slide forward or backwards to allow space for the wheelchair to be loaded on by the wheelchair lift stored in the 3rd luggage bay. The windows, wind shields, and roof hatches are your actual emergency exits. Anywho, great video, and glad you enjoyed the trip!

Reminds me of the time I drove a bus from Sacramento to Los Angeles, it was my regular run. As we were leaving one morning a guy got on and said he need to go to Hollywood. I told him you're on the right bus we're going to Los Angeles, and took off, he started screaming NO I'm going to Hollywood, before I could explain to him, that Hollywood was just an area in Los Angeles. He jumped off the bus when I was doing 10 miles an hour, rolled around on the concrete. I stopped to see if he was all right and he just gave me the finger. I didn't think any more about it, until the next day. I was on my regular run from Sacramento to LA again, when I see this guy with a bandage head hitchhiking, holding up a sign that says Hollywood or bust. I'll say this he must have busted his head when he fell. And I always wondered if he got a ride with anybody did they tell him they are going to Los Angeles. If so he might have jumped out. This happened in April 1976 but I remember it like yesterday

Hey babe loved your trip on greyhound bus. Thanks for sharing again you fun travels

Great video! Thank you!😊👏👏👏

I love it that you review the entire span of travel classes. From busses to first class to basic economy you review them all! Thank you!

Just subscribed to you after watching your recent collab with Jaycation! Great job! All the best to you in your video endeavors!!

I enjoy your attitude on these videos

Back in the day, there was Trailways and Greyhound. The latter bought the former. All was good. Then the prices went up. I haven't travelled by bus in 40 years but having someone drive me to San Diego instead of me fighting traffic might just be a good alternative!

I still like to take Greyhound once in a while to look at the country side while being on the expressway. I also take the Greyhound from Chicago to Minneapolis every year 8 hours. I'm also gonna give Indian Trails a chance from Chicago to the state of Michigan. I also love to take Amtrak Hiawatha Service to Milwaukee and i also like the Wolverine to Michigan. The seats on Amtrak are way better because more legroom compared to Greyhound.

It's shocking to see all of the old depots and staff are gone. I was a Greyhound driver for 8 years in the 90's. I was based in Portland, OR and Wichita, KS. In 1970 my family planned on driving our truck with camper to Miami, FL, until we rolled the vehicle on slick highways near Winslow, AZ. My Great Uncle paid for a Greyhound trip for us all (3 kids and parents), which was an adventure. When I finished high school in Sacramento, CA, I joined the US Navy and the Navy processing center was in Oakland. I took my first solo Greyhound trip to Oakland in 1983. When I arrived in Oakland, I had to walk with my luggage to a hotel 3 blocks away which in hindsight was a dangerous thing to do. Even before I left the old Oakland depot, I was asked 2-3 times if I'd like to buy drugs! I was a proud Greyhound driver and considered it one of my favorite jobs in life. The only reason I quit was because I was newly married in Kansas and had sunk roots when they eliminated the driver hub location in Wichita. I finished my driving career as a cross country tour bus driver in 2009 when I went back to University to get a BS and MA in American History. My, how time flies...

You were on the west coast with new buses and terminals. Greyhound has been selling lots of terminals. Now you catch a bus in a McDonald's parking lot, converted gas station or maybe a city bus terminal. Food/restrooms maybe. Not all buses have plugs/wifi either. FYI the Vegas stop is no longer downtown they moved a couple years ago to a city yard south strip area. Definitely gonna need a Uber.

Love your video, you were great on explaining every detail, and I wish you can go to North Carolina from California, and make a video, like this one, thank you so much, I enjoyed my trip with you, I felt I was there, love Greyhound ❤️, have a safe staying, I'm from San Bernardino Ca.

Had no idea they bought them out so that explains the changes on the Greyhound app! I just watched your video about riding the Sunset limited and I’m taking that train from New Orleans. To Maricopa, Az then a bus ride to Phoenix.

Looks like coach on an airplane. I would take Amtrak for sure. Thank you for taking one for the team.

I like the humor in your videos a lot. I use the bus sometimes in the northeast where I live. I've had good experiences with Greyhound and Peter Pan. They're pretty professional here.

From Midland to Lubbock, Texas a 2 Hour Dr. took us 13 hours to get to Lubbock going to Carlsbad almost every city

This seems very cool 😊i wanna try them

I purchased a round trip ticket to México City and back to Orlando. Upon arriving in Houston our bus arrived 4 hours late. Upon leaving and arriving in San Antonio there was no apparent desire to board/disboard with any urgency to try and arrived in Monterrey within any semblence of the hours scheduled. In San Antonio it took a whole hour to board the passengers before heading to Laredo and finally Monterrey. All of this was after stopping at múltiple stations that were dirty and with barely functioning bathrooms. Upon arriving in Laredo the individual attending was at least the first person who tried helping but unfortunately misdirected me. Because the bus arrived late and the misinformation I Lost 12 hours without being able to sleep in Laredo. Luckily in Monterrey they have proper understanding of how to manage transport and I was able to arrive in México City without more complications. I have used buses and public transport in EVERY part of the world from Thailand to Europe and have never had such a terrible experience.

Thanks for doing the vidio.

Hello Miss Media, i like how you tour us inside the greyhound, its been ages since i rode one to vegas. The toilet seems nicer now. 😊

Omg thanks for showing the bathrooms 🚻

I will be riding flixbus next month roundtrip from Los Angeles to Las vegas! Never really had a issue with greyhound besides the one time my luggage disappeared and never got it back! Have a wonderful day beautiful lady😘😘😘xox

Oceanside is a nice beach town that a lot of people don't know about. I was just there last October. 2022.

Tks , watched the whole video. Travelling alone you have to be aware of surroundings all time. Retired and I plan using buses, Greyhound - Flix next week come back from tallahassee fl to ft lauderdale fl. one way to drop off friend and car there. If scheduals flexable it works to take bus. Overall 9 hrs less than it takes board plane etc. point to point. Appreciate knowing if bathrooms are clean and seats roomy. Tks again.

My experience tonight wasn’t awful 5:40pm union station to Palm Springs. I wish I could show you a photo of the interior, the black leather seats were all eroded, literally peeling off and ripped apart. My seat in particular didn’t recline and I bought two seats individually for 41$ each.

Nice! I used FlixBus traveling in Europe in between cruises - Rome to Rimini Italy to Milan to Bologna to Port of Genoa, Italy via train. Then Flixbus to Ljubljana Slovenia to Nepliget Hungary to Belgrade Serbia where I flew back to Texas. However, I have not done it here in the USA yet since I drive and fly most of the time. I am considering taking Flix/Greyhound from Seattle King Station to San Antonio, TX though:). If I do, it will be my longest bus ride at almost 60-hours haha.

Greyhound has been through a lot since 1980 and no matter who owns service has never been the same and since they went from 43 to 47 to 50 and now 55 seats there is no legroom for anyone over 6ft tall and that makes for a very uncomfortable ride for any length of time if you have to sit next to someone. Greyhound needs to go back to 52 seat coaches which give decent legroom for everyone and makes for a comfortable ride!

I took the Greyhound last year from Anaheim to San Francisco. It wasn’t the best but at least I came out alive. Still choosing the Isarog Bus from Manila to Legazpi.

When it said. Santa Ana i was like i miss Santa Ana . It's in El Salvador.

Next time my mom, my brother Chris and I took a trip to between Jimmy's Berry Farm and the Jimmyland Resort for the first time, I should've gone with Mom and Chris to the Greyhound Bus Lines at the bus station for our trip to between Jimmy's Berry Farm and the Jimmyland Resort for the first time from San Jose to Anaheim back in the year of 2000. Only I could go back to the beginning for my whole memories back in time and turn myself and other people back into young.

I used to take Greyhound bus, from San Bernardino to Greensboro, N.C, almost every year, with my parents, grandkids, aunt, and niece, but my parents passed, my niece stayed in NC, my aut it to old, my grandkids, one in college and my boy in Marines, so it me by myself, but I'm going to visit my brother, in NC, next year, if God's willing, can't wait, the only thing is the tickets price, are so high, almost $500dls round trip, but don't matter, just want to travel Greyhound. ❤❤❤❤️

LOVE UR STYLE SISSTA 💜👍🤙🙏

First Group bought the buses and the stations. Flixbus only purchased the buses. A big difference. Plus Flix shut down Greyhound's package express service which used to produce over 50% of Greyhound revenues.

Good video. Thank you to the creator of this RU-vid video.

Very nice and informative video. Are pedestrians allowed to bring bicycles on the greyhound 🚌?

So real quick on the restroom...let's give credit to the LA (not Glendale ) bus cleaners on the AM shift❤🎉 woot woot that's my man 😁

$78 million and First Group kept the real estate, that's bus stations are such an issue now.

2 or 3 times a year. I take the greyhound from La to las vegas, Have never gotten a comfortable seat , they're all old and they're all flat and hard , Maybe with the purchase from flicks they will upgrade and get newer seats. I certainly hope so

Welcome to Kenya 🇰🇪Nice transport services here from buses to trains

8:30 PM? No way, ma'am! It's way too bright for 8:30 PM, lol!

Hi If I’m travelling from Minnesota to California do I need passport if I’m a foreigner also does border patrol do checks ?

Did you had to pay for a seat or did the Greyhound bus driver assigned you a seat?

What you thought was an emergency exit is actually a door for wheelchair access

I was thinking about applying as a driver with my years of experience. Then I see the bus was a Provost lol. I need an MCI, new one at that. Same bus, 5-6 days a week, ill clean it myself. I just prefer my own vehicle that I'm comfortable in with no damage. FlixBus, if you see this comment, them my only requirements out of San Francisco. Hit me up if you trying make something happen.

Can i have questions pls What do i need to show when riding a Greyhound bus? is it okay even without id?

That was a wheel chair seat area not an emergency exit.

Question so if I buy a ticket from the flix bus app I'll still go to a grayhound station?

As a former Greyhound bus driver, did you had to pay a small fee for your seat when you took the bus?

I want to travel from Ohio to Orlando to go to Disney, my husband is extremely afraid of flight and when we went to Disney he drove but when we went back he told me that he never going to drive again to Orlando. I had checked videos of greyhound drivers and customers and they’re just terrible 😂 so I’m really afraid and hesitate to do that trip with greyhound, so you recommend the service? There is another bus line that you could recommend? I really want to go back to Disney with my husband. Thanks!

Don't worry, I will give you a ride for free! 😂👍 PS- You're adorable like always!😁

did you get stopped by police on the bus?

I heard its terrible now with assigned seating.

Greyhound WAS! One of our main transportation companies in our country - Greyhound had no business selling the company to another country - Now a German company owns it and NOW, New Jersey and Philadelphia NO LONGER HAVE A BUS STATION!. People are standing on the streets to wait for their bus, NO PLACE TO SIT OR GO TO THE BATHROOM OR REST UNTIL YOUR BUS COMES - ... absolutely horrible! Transportation EVERYWHERE has gotten so messed up it's pathetic - People need to contact state and government officials and make huge complaints about this - this is horrible - I've never seen something so damn stupid!

Jack Reacher travels by bus.

Why are most us these coaches rear bumper rip off at the end. Can't Greyhound repair the coach, its bad PR, very bad P. R.

I'm taking a greyhound from Indianapolis, IN to New York, NY. I'll give it my honest review then

Nevermind the bus, you're cute!

❤❤❤ Sama ako

SUPER 👌 SUPER 👌 SUPER 👌

Trop souvent en retard de plusieurs heures et pour te faire rembourser tu peux courir. Des guignon cette boîte

Only million?

I trust this is a video about why not to jump on a bus?

I'll give you an honest review having just gotten back from a trip from Indianapolis to South Carolina. It's HORRIBLE! It should be the very LAST option! I saved you 8:45 of your life!

Greyhound operator is very dishonest. I purchased my ticket online on canada cite. And they charged me as US currency, I felt cheated by this shit company/ operator because the cite didn't tell you it was USD!

Since I don't trust; how much of this is true in April 2023. I would like and need correct proper information. Not bs

and leave the driving to us

Wooow the greyhound bus have flight attendant 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

FlixBus is killing Greyhound little by little !

After seeing this and looking at both prices it’s cheaper to get an airplane ticket than these overpriced buses

The worst thing that ever happened to Greyhound with flixbus buying it. FlixBus is the Uber if Bus

Lysol id very important before you sit your bottom . 😅 I mean it's dirty not you

Flix bus should get their money back!! Greyhound is going down the Drain!! Worst way to travel!!

Dislike prevost brand Coach ☹️☹️☹️ l prefer MCl brand Coaches

why do you stand next to a loud engine and talk? Makes no sense.

Greyhound treats people like trash. This is an obviously sponsored video or greyhounds own pr department. Greyhound can be fine for going within a few hundred miles. But when you go cross country it's really awful.

Greyhound has been horrible for years. Every ride I’ve taken has been atrocious.

show me the money!!!!

Why Greyhound? Because you have no choice.

Worst experience of my life

Super annoying

Don't trust them

Terrible service

Sounds like pilipina

greyhound was so bad and over loaded

No showers on the buss or kitchen or bedrooms I’ll never take it

last summer i took greyhound from pittsburgh to toronto..with stops in cleveland,erie and buffalo...it was a TOTAL NIGHTMARE on the way up and way back!!!!! avoid them like the plague..if ANYONE else goes where you are going take them.

Hi there, just to let everyone know i work at greyhound, more specifically at the fares and schedules area and if anyone wants to ask a question im willing to answer anything But just to anser the basic 1) Kids less than 2 years old can travel free, kids at the age of 2 or above need to pay for a ticket. 2) since covid we don't have discounts anynore, greyhound changed their policy's and we are not offering any type of discounts :/ 3) a 16 year old can travel without company, by this i mean that if a kid thats 16 years or above buys a greyhound ticket they are able to travel without any type of documentation 4) we don't really ask out customers to carry on an ID or drivers licence to buy a ticket/aboard the bus, but we recommend you to have the documents needed in case you are crossing the border 5) if you are taking extra luggage remember to add it when you are buing your ticket, extra luggage costs 19.99$ 6) rescheduling your ticket must be done atleast 15 minutes before bus departure, in any case you are not able to change it you will need to pay an extra amount to change time and date of departure 7) if you get stranded in another bus station thats not on your ticket, we recommend the customer to go the nearest greyhound bus station to let the staff know you are stranded, we will change your ticket but if you give us a call asking if we can change it for free, we dont be able to do it. 8) remember that the phone number you call its not customer service, thats the fares and schedules/to schedule your ticket department, if you give us a call regarding a refund, we won't be able to process it because we don't have the necessary tools to make that procedure, that will be with customer service that can be contacted at greyhound page, you'll need to feel out a "request a refund" form and you'll get news within the next 24 to 72 hours post-finalizing the request 9) we are not responsable if the bus departed earlier than estipulated on your ticket since we recommend our customers to be atleast 30 minutes before departure time on the ticket 10) its a must to have an email for us to send the ticket, phone number is not necessary 11) remember that re-scheduling your ticket its reserving a seat on another bus, and a extra payment needs to take place since, like already said, its a different bus and a seat that someone else could've bought at a standard price 12) remember that when the bus driver makes a stop he/she wont wait for you, if he/she gives 10 minutes, than you got 10 minutes to strecth your legs, go to the bathroom and buy somefood, if the bus driver leaves and your luggage its still on the bus and you give us a call, we won't be avle to contact the bus driver, its not that we're not able to, but its because we don't have the bus driver information, and even so, he/she won't get back to get you because he /she has other passengers than need to make transfers and they need to be on time, if you call us we will recommend you to go at greyhound.com and fill out the "missing luggage" form 13) ****FARES AND SCHEDULES ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE WITHOUT PRIOR NOTICE**** we always explain this to our customers because when they give us a call an agent my say a price of a ticket and when he calls us back again asking to the same ticket the price its going to be different, why? Because of demand and depending how full the bus is getting 14) agentd are humans to, just because you overslept and couldn't be on time at the station doesn't mean the agent you call deserves to be yelled at because of customers fault.

Former USMC. I traveled in the past it was ok. I like the assigned seats. But the BUS STATION IN TAMPA, FL IS UNDER A BRIDGE. Bus drivers that stopped there didn't give a SHI* about answering costumer's questions. That's what our money is worth and our value and our safety. I took a trip to Knoxville TN. In Atlanta our trip was canceled after being there 9 hours with bus 0105 canceled 2xs. They offered a Voucher or Reassigned your route for another time. HOW convenient as a smart A** remark. NEVER AGAIN SAVE YOUR MONEY AND TAKE A SAFER ROUTE.

Them seats NOT comfortable im 5v11 and they was ASS
