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’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.
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 couldnt believe i was traveling with a you tuber....im the one that has the baby!!! Hope to travel together again!!
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!
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.
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...
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!
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!
Great video! Thank you!
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.
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.
Hey babe loved your trip on greyhound bus. Thanks for sharing again you fun travels
Just subscribed to you after watching your recent collab with Jaycation! Great job! All the best to you in your video endeavors!!
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.
From Midland to Lubbock, Texas a 2 Hour Dr. took us 13 hours to get to Lubbock going to Carlsbad almost every city
Looks like coach on an airplane. I would take Amtrak for sure. Thank you for taking one for the team.
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.
