And for those who think the bus is an alternative, think again because Greyhound has been in bankruptcy court for years. It won't be long before rural America has no scheduled public transportation. For example, the little town I live in Texas has lost its once weekly scheduled bus service, along with a lot of other small rural towns along US Highways 377 and 281 from Fort Worth to San Antonio. The once weekly service wasn't adequate, now it don't exist. <br /> <br />Most of the airlines and buses actually turning a profit are the charters, traveling to major vacation locations with cherry picked routes. Providing a scheduled daily service to rural America is not profitable, even the airlines have almost eliminated small towns and cities. <br />
