I Spent 5 DAYS on America's Longest Greyhound Bus. It Was HELL. 

My grandfather was a Greyhound bus driver for 40 years. He was a real stand-up guy, very much my role model. He lived a good life, traveled the world, travelled the country, and when I die, I want to die just like him, peacefully in my sleep, and not screaming in terror like his passengers.

Last greyhound trip I took I sat in the back next to some guy wearing 5 hats, after some time I struck up a conversation with him, and I ask “you seem like a normal guy, what is up with the 5 hats?” He says “oh yeah I do that so no one wants to sit next to the crazy guy wearing 5 hats an I get the seat to myself” lol if I ever ride greyhound again I’ll be wearing 5 hats.

Greyhound's slogan is: You must have had no other option.

Noel having that realization that you're treated like trash if you're poor is something I wish everyone could experience.

When I was in college I met a girl online playing Titanfall on Xbox One and for my birthday she took a greyhound bus from California to Tallahassee, FL to come see me for the weekend. I never thought of the arduous journey she must have experienced but now I just want to say thanks Stella.

The driver just driving off leaving people stranded is the most greyhound thing ever 😂😂😂

Congrats for surviving Noel, you're a brave man

For years, Greyhound has been a "bucket list" adventure. Having watched this, I just put a hole in that bucket and ensured that trip goes straight through it

The fact that greyhound just leave the buses on the side of the road full of customers is insane.

Like you mentioned: most of those people don’t have a choice. And Greyhound probably knows it, as well as knowing that those who don’t have means are less likely to bring legal action or anything similar. It’s so disappointing.

"Don't make me throw you off this bus". Such a kind and comforting welcome.

Longest I took was 4 solid days, here are some things I learned;

I like how all of the bus drivers essentially begin their announcements with "listen up motherfuckers"

I'm a Brit and took my first and ONLY Greyhound from LA to SF which is only supposed to be a 6 hour or so trip. It took at least 10 hours and it was one of the worst experiences of my life. One cute thing was a woman moved next to my empty seat because somebody had thrown up next to her. Her daughter ended up falling asleep with her head on my shoulder so I couldn't move for 3 hours for fear of waking her. Clearly, nothing has changed in 14 years.

Best argument for real-time, long-route, well-regulated railroad passenger system, subsidized as a vital public service,

This video could be an ad for Greyhound with the slogan

You’d be more comfortable hopping a freight train as a hobo than enduring the chaotic zoo of a Greyhound

"Don't make me throw you off the bus"

I'm from Serbia, which is a poor country, but getting around the country by a bus is relatively comfortable. Last year I visited the US and attended an event in Pittsburgh, after which I wanted to go to Niagara falls. Since I hate driving, I bought a Greyhound ticket. Thought that it couldn't be that bad. The bus broke down right after leaving Pittsburgh. After a slight delay, we boarded a different bus. Made it to Cleveland, from which I was supposed to go to Buffalo. The layover was relatively long and the bus station did not look great, so I decided to walk around. Got an email saying that my departure was significantly delayed. I used that time to see Cleveland and when I went back to the station, I learned that the bus departed on time! I was supposed to meet a coworker in Buffalo and grab some dinner that afternoon, but it was midnight when I finally arrived.

I love how this video really highlights how kind people can be. All the folks you ran into seem very nice and genuine, and its a shame that they were being treated so poorly by greyhound. I really wish that they treated their customers better, since its clear that lower income individuals rely on them to get to where they have to be.
