Woman claims Greyhound denied her travel because of burqa
Jan 20th, 2011 at 3:00PM: Jacqueline Pasha attempted to travel by Greyhound to Arkansas in December, but she didn't succeed. And Greyhound acknowledges this. The story becomes fuzzy, however, in the details.

Nov 26th, 2010 at 2:00PM:
Unlike Europe and Japan, the United States isn't known for its high-tech, efficient rail travel. Which is a shame because, as I recently discovered, taking Amtrak is sometimes a better way to travel this big country of ours, and generally speaking, it has a lower carbon footprint per passenger than driving or flying.
You definitely need to have time to spare for long distance trips, ...Turkish buses versus Greyhound
Jul 14th, 2010 at 1:30PM:
Planes are fast and popular. Trains are often cheaper and romanticized. Buses, however, get a bad rap. In the States, that's probably deserved. With the exception of some modern, swanky buses servicing the Northeast Corridor and the Midwest, the bus options throughout the United States are pretty shoddy. Yet, bus travel doesn't have to be all about steerage class, sweat boxy hellholes. Sadly, you ...Greyhound driver tips off cops to half million in coke
Mar 25th, 2010 at 11:00AM: When's the last time a Greyhound passenger had half a million dollars' worth of anything? Usually it's a tattered duffle bag and maybe an iPod. Well, police in Sherman, Texas, acting on a tip from a Greyhound driver, discovered $500,000 in cocaine in a passenger's unmarked suitcase. The police officer was waiting at the bus stop, thanks to the info. After sniffing around, so to speak, he found 12 ...Greyhound taking passengers to the future
Aug 10th, 2009 at 4:00PM: When you think of modern travel, you probably don't spend much time considering buses. However, Greyhound, the largest bus service in the United States, is trying to change that with new buses that may just make ground transportation enjoyable (and modern). This past April, Greyhound introduced 102 new buses to east coast routes servicing cities such as New York, Montreal, Washington, Boston and ...What's that bad smell? Travel impressions through the nose
Jul 28th, 2009 at 5:00PM: I haven't noticed it, but there's a bad smell at the Greyhound bus station in Columbus. A woman got off the bus and noticed it. As she pointed out in this article, a bad smell the first thing someone gets off a bus is not the best way to make a good first impression. As a matter of fact. it's hell on tourism.
A bad smell might give a person an idea to get back on the bus and head back out as ...AirTran provides obvious internet etiquette tips
Jul 15th, 2009 at 5:00PM: Is AirTran the pot or the kettle? It's hard to say, but the airline that has done a great job of making passengers uncomfortable – think of it as the Greyhound experience of the sky – is now telling passengers how they can keep from making their fellow fliers unhappy. It's like giving a stern warning and nothing more to a bank robber caught in the act: it won't do much.
Nonetheless, ...Blogger Stephen Greenwood

Feb 6th, 2009 at 11:30AM:
Depending upon the time frame you have to go from one point to the next, bus travel is a worthy option when looking for a bargain. Last summer, I opted for Greyhound as a way to get back from New York City to Columbus with my son. It was a perfect trip with few kinks. At the time, the bus fare was much cheaper than a flight, and I didn't want to drive myself.
A few years back, I made a similar ...Sick of High Airfares? Bus It
Aug 5th, 2008 at 3:00PM: "Greyhound" is considered a curse word in some travel circles. With its share of horror stories, America's most famous bus line has earned a bit of a bad reputation. I mean, imagine being stuck in a plane for two hours next to a crying baby or someone who thinks you want to hear their life story. Then imagine similar circumstances on a bus where the travel time is multiplied by ten. Bus travel is ...Passenger stabbed and decapitated on Greyhound bus; passengers question bus safety

For only 5 extra dollars, you can not only reserve your seat, but you can be one of the first to board as well. You won't get to choose your seat and board early on every trip; the Los Angeles Times notes that Greyhound is ...Pittsburgh to Chicago for $1
Mar 21st, 2007 at 3:02PM: High gas prices and expensive airfare keeping you stuck at home this spring? Does even Greyhound seem too pricey for those non-essential trips?
