I have ridden greyhound 5 times in arranging oreintation for trucking into the Midwest and down into the Tennessee. I will not ever ride Greyhound again. There is just too much time lost trying to stay awake and watch your person/valuables and fighting off the bums that panhandle for money. Greyhound's express routes are the way to go, the local routes adds hours and days to your trip. Sure you leave the station right away out of D.C. but find yourself jumping on and off I-81/I-40 for the next 18 hours. Yuck. America's need for passenger ridership really is very high. Will the Government pay for routes and passenger trains or other service into every little town that needs it? No. Frankly it is my opinion we as Americans have the responsibility to establish commerce and private ventures for profit aimed at providing the services we need. No one else is going to do it. I suspect also the re-urbanization and movement of peoples out of the smaller towns back into the large areas that have the services and transport is also happening. The rest of us are able to get around with our cars and SUV's. When I travel, I look at Airline first, train second and finally my own vehicle third. I would prefer to travel two days between Little Rock to Baltimore with a overnight in a nice hotel at Knoxville TN than endure a packed bus full of everything from the good to the bad and tripping over the ugly.
