Cotidamn Greyhound Has Really Fallen Off!

[Rekkapryde]

Sounds like my Mom's. I ain't flying nowhere "I'm getting on the bus"

pretty much.

My mother in law loves the bus. Don't get it. We always offer to fly her to Atlanta but she'd rather take the bus.

at least the Atlanta Station got a complete remodel and looks 100x better. These other cities though

Is she scared to fly? I love the bus too if it's not too long of a ride. Like, within the northeast region for example. It can be scenic depending on what highway it is

pretty much.

You don't know how many times I've heard that than had to drive 8 hours from GA to VA.

It's unfortunate. We still have millions of people that relied on Greyhound to travel this country. These are the people that America is forgetting about.

Real shyt. I used it on for twice getting back and forth from home to school. I was in state though.

Same for me. I caught tge greyhound in college going from Hampton to DC. My aunts and uncles stayed in DC so to go there on weekends and get home cooked food was cool. Just a 4 hr ride.

I swear one time I was on there with one of the Debarges looking high off drugs. Another crazy white dude had a hat that said fukk off.

I ain't go to sleep at all that trip

Fuucked up.

Imagine if candidates had discussed this issue. Don't hear any politicians talking about this as crucial as this type of service is to millions. Seems like an easy election platform to bring up and get support.

So fuucked up.

1. A lot of cities don't like these bus stations in their inner cities, because it attracts those with less means including homeless-adjacent, etc and the areas around them become "distressed". Houston is moving their. station from downtown. The thing is the bus stations, rail, etc are usually close to inner cities, so it's a truly classist uppity ass move when you move people that need public transit the most away from the major stations.

2. These investors and those that don't want bus riders near downtown get a 2 for 1, by removing bus station and reinvest land into something more fancy and expensive, and less for common people.

3. The same way the car industry got rid of private rail systems to push car sales around 1930s and 40s, this could be a ploy to push towards a new type of transportation technology for lower income folks or someone that just needs the choice of riding a bus....60 million people.

- Autonomous buses (pure speculation, never even heard about this, but could be)?
- Preparing for VTOL (right now VTOL just marketing to middle and higher income, buut the largest vehicles seat up to only 8 people)?
- Apps like Hitch that is basically Uber for long distance between cities?

Whatever the case it's a fuucked up move and I hope it's addressed, otherwise how will folks be able to travel across the U.S. with ease? (or is that point, to control movement, starting with lower income?).

Homelessness didn't even come up in their campaigns
This is not important to them

Those Chinatown buses was moving coffins tho, you took a risk riding on those

$10 round trip from Philly to Manhattan

I've never taken a bus.

But I know of bus routes and bus schedules. If a bus is supposed to show up at 15:05. Wouldn't you show up, idk 5, 10 minutes early? If anything the bus would probably be late, 5, 10, even 15 minutes. Hours is fukking ridiculous. I don't understand the concept of just waiting all day for a bus.
