What do you feel about Greyhound bus to use for travel , instead of going by plane?

Answer 1

I've traveled that way and its not too bad.

Answer 2

Buses are a great way to travel if you are not in a hurry. You get to see all the stuff along the way too. Take some snacks, and drink. They don't provide food. Also different buses have different seats. Some are more like school buses others are more comfortable. You need to check that out. You also want to check the route for layovers. Bus stations are not much fun if you have a long layover and they aren't usually in the best part of town.

Answer 3

It's irrational, but I feel safer on a bus. If a bus crashes, there's a good chance some people will survive. If a plane crashes, you're pretty much screwed.

At the same time, buses can be smelly(yucky bathrooms), overcrowded, and the length of the trip can be almost unbearable.

Answer 4

I've done both, and honestly, unless there is a huge price difference, the plane is much much better. And often, especially on a longer trip, plane fares are very close to the bus fares. Greyhound is normally dirty, noisey and rude.

Answer 5

i hate riding greyhound, it's like a mental hospital on wheels. the several times i've rode the bus, i always encounter something unpleasurable. (crying baby 6hours straight, stuck on the highway in reno for 12hours due to a snow storm, being whacked by a crazy lady while i fell asleep, sitting next to a drunk, etc) i vow to never ride it again! sometimes flying would be cheaper. i would choose to drive over riding the bus, unless if that's not an option.

Answer 6

For trips less than 1500 miles it's OK.


Anything that that's 2000 miles or more is a miserable experience.

From New York to Los Angeles would be 3 day ride cramped up.

Not good if you are claustrophobic.

Answer 7

Its a long drive by bus, they stop at every little burg in the road. but if your into meeting people go for it

Answer 8

Buses suck!
