Last greyhound trip I took I sat in the back next to some guy wearing 5 hats, after some time I struck up a conversation with him, and I ask âyou seem like a normal guy, what is up with the 5 hats?â He says âoh yeah I do that so no one wants to sit next to the crazy guy wearing 5 hats an I get the seat to myselfâ lol if I ever ride greyhound again Iâll be wearing 5 hats.

Longest I took was 4 solid days, here are some things I learned;
1) you took the greyhound/megabus/flixbus because you had no other options
2) if your trip is more than a day, the bathroom is a disgusting sanctuary youâll learn to appreciate. Just donât let the water splash you, some of them donât have lids.
3) change your socks often as you will develop athletes foot if you donât
4)if your bus is old and you didnât bring a battery pack, bring a book or some NyQuil.
5) bring a big ass carry on to keep anyone from sitting next to you, it usually works if the bus driver doesnât give a fuck at all.
6) Drivers will leave your ass in the middle of nowhere, donât fuck around with their schedule.
7) stay in populated and well lit areas in terminals, especially at midnight. If youâre a sheltered homebody and wind up at a hood hood terminal, donât venture outside. Just sit your ass down and mind your business until your bus comes.
Hope this helps, good luck.

I'm a Brit and took my first and ONLY Greyhound from LA to SF which is only supposed to be a 6 hour or so trip. It took at least 10 hours and it was one of the worst experiences of my life. One cute thing was a woman moved next to my empty seat because somebody had thrown up next to her. Her daughter ended up falling asleep with her head on my shoulder so I couldn't move for 3 hours for fear of waking her. Clearly, nothing has changed in 14 years.

I'm from Serbia, which is a poor country, but getting around the country by a bus is relatively comfortable. Last year I visited the US and attended an event in Pittsburgh, after which I wanted to go to Niagara falls. Since I hate driving, I bought a Greyhound ticket. Thought that it couldn't be that bad. The bus broke down right after leaving Pittsburgh. After a slight delay, we boarded a different bus. Made it to Cleveland, from which I was supposed to go to Buffalo. The layover was relatively long and the bus station did not look great, so I decided to walk around. Got an email saying that my departure was significantly delayed. I used that time to see Cleveland and when I went back to the station, I learned that the bus departed on time! I was supposed to meet a coworker in Buffalo and grab some dinner that afternoon, but it was midnight when I finally arrived.

My grandfather was a Greyhound bus driver for 40 years. He was a real stand-up guy, very much my role model. He lived a good life, traveled the world, travelled the country, and when I die, I want to die just like him, peacefully in my sleep, and not screaming in terror like his passengers.
