Any travel experience with Greyhound Bus Lines from Chicago to Omaha, NE?

Answer 1

I advise to AVOID GREYHOUND AT ALL COSTS
they have gone to the dogs, (they have left me stranded
several times cause they only send out 1 bus a day!in some areas or you have to wait several hours between buses or connections and 9 times out of 10 the bus is already full by the time it gets to me so you get to stand for hours on end
or wait for another bus -which may or may not be coming
or even from greyhound...

there is an alternate service from Chicago to Omaha
on Burlington Trailways here's their schedule for Sunday 4/1/07

Answer 2

I have experience with Greyhound going from Chicago to Milwaukee, Wisconsin... the bus was usually packed and crowded with screaming babies and lower-income people, but it worked for me OK, hopefully you'll have a stop or two that will allow you to stretch your legs.
