Greyhound bus trip through northern U.S.: (11) St. Louis, Missouri to Columbus Ohio 2010-08-30 

agree yes I like to ride see the countryside and maybe have a nice converstion with fellow traver no telling who will meet.

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.

@@thomasjsanford9991 i was on a deadline meeting a friend who only had the weekend in Texas available and i was due in Dallas at 8:10am Friday and after all that mess in Ohio making me miss my transfers in Tenn i would not arrive till 4pm and that was too late as the things would be closed over the weekend we had scheduled all day Friday, what bullcrap - they put others on Taxicabs to make thier transfers in Cincinetti but us going elsewhere didnt have that option boooo

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.

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.

you are neat

I love watching Greyhound videos, I wish you could of taken a video, of your trip, have a safe trip.

Tony Gomes I fly United Myself. Won’t touch anyone else. American I always thought was to high and delta lost my bags made me miss my connection and got me home late on my first trip and my second one wasn’t much better. First a delayed flight them had to stay over night in Ohio then had an emergency landing and my bags got routed thru salt lake and we’re 5 hours behind me into Oklahoma City lol.

Im 😨 of flying.

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 how do you no what bus to get on

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.

+backpacktrot thank you so much I appreciate it

You're welcome. Safe travels to your girlfriend!

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

@@johnfortunato1192 I remember the old St Louis Greyhound station. There was a scene on Plane's Trains and Automobiles with it.
