I am a retired greyhound driver. Put in 35 years. You did a good job on tips. Baggage-you should have a large colorful ID tag showing your name address and your current destination. Those tags greyhound supplies get ripped off sometimes. Also-put a large note inside the bag with the same. Put a bright ribbon/ object on the bag to help identify it. Last but not least take a series of pictures of your baggage so in case it gets lost you will have an accurate picture to show customer service if your bag turns up missing. Some stations have short layover times and the baggage loader might be new, doesn't know geography or is just lazy. Personally make sure your bag has been loaded to your new transfer schedule.
35 years??... Where's your book? You need to write down those war stories, man. There is definitely an audience for them. _I'd_ buy that book; so would quite a few others.
Don't eat anything that's going to give you the runs while traveling. I try to eat light snacks so that I won't have to poop while on the road and eat a heavier meal when I get to my final destination.
You'll be fine yes it can be a little intimidating but I've done about for solo trips by myself and I am a young female just do everything this guy says and you'll be okay and keep an eye on your surroundings at all times
I've taken the Greyhound from California to New York by myself. It was an adventure. I met some very colorful people. But yes, Greyhound is not the greatest form of transportation in the world but you get to see the country. I take Amtrak now.
I actually caught someone going through my bag while on the Greyhound bus once. Atlanta is a pretty chaotic station. You should definitely stay alert there.
@Dana Dana ya Atlanta is a shit hole. However I have to go via Atlanta. However I know what to be expecting. 1st off as Tim here mentioned know your itinerary and 2nd good chance that 80% of the people you have been riding with live in Atlanta. Is why they're going to Atlanta. So your next bus you're likely to meet new people. And 3rd well me personally I've helped thoes confused ( slightly mentally slow) people get onto the next bus. Guess all stations in general my personal experience Atlanta and Chicago in most recent times but in general I've met some people whom are I believe a tad ( mentally slow) I am not saying this to make fun or be an asshole. People if you talk to then for like 10 minutes you catch on to the fact ( I think he/she has a slightly mental impatient) if you can help them. Do so. As I do. Especially in a place like Atlanta.. they oftentimes don't fully understand thier itinerary because of thier problems. So assist if you can
@@LisaSoulLevelHealing well sence I initially posted this took another trip Minneapolis nearest my sister's house back home to Miami. Once again similar situation. This girl was well she said 20. Looked to be about 15 or 16. And had the mental functioning of I'd say 8-12 years old. As she was going from Nebraska to her sister's house around Nashville. We met up in Chicago. She had no luggage beyond a plastic grocerie bag with 2 shirts and a few paris of socks. No money no phone. ( as gues who she found to let her use thier phone?) Ya me. We got held up in Indianapolis. Oh and being a male I'm not going to think when another lady intervened rendering assistance whispered in my ear ( she's in the ladies room begging for tampons) oh dear. I gave her $10 and bought her dinner. Problem was short story she refused to get on the bus in Indianapolis when a bus showed up. We can't make her get onto the bus because she is a legal adult. However myself and the other lady did meet her sister in Nashville. As also I reported to her sister ( she's refuing to return to you) sad situation. As we do what we can to try to help. But you can't treat an adult like a child. It's a reminder that a sizable number of people who haven't the full cognitive mental functioning of adults are out riding around.
@@The_DuMont_Network I Agree With You. I Think The Scariest Part For Me Is Having To Wait For An Extended Period Of Time Waiting At The Nasty Bus Station Downtown For A Bus Transfer. They Seem To Put Every Greyhound Bus Station In THE SCARIEST Part Of Major Cities. Also...Them Bathrooms Ina Greyhound Bus Are Not Very Pleasant!!! Ima Dude So Peeing Ain't That Bad. I Feel Sorry For All The Ladies Who Have To Sit Down On Them Nasty-Ass Toilets & GOD Forbid If A Dude Gotta Sit & Go #2!!!

@@TheFrogFather509 I’m a lady and never sit on public toilets! Funny thing is I’ve only gotten infections down there from other men(negligent), not toilet seats.
I defiantly agree on the appearance aspect of riding on the Greyhound. The first trip I took I was constantly asked by people for money, I wasn't dressed up at all but I didn't dress myself down either. While I'm not exactly a high risk target for robbery because of my size, these interactions become tedious very quickly. I would say just dress very comfortable, some baggy sweats and a loose fitting hoodie. It makes you become less of a target and will also help out with the cold climate of the buses. Great videos friend. Very informative.
I plan on wearing a drug rug and some boots and skinny jeans... so I’ll be in the middle as well 😂😭 and I’m a small girl I’m leaving the day before my 18th birthday
Back in 2016 I took a Greyhound from Indianapolis to Tampa and I stopped at the station in Birmingham AL, it was about 4AM or so and I was hungry and didn't feel like grabbing anything from the vending machines in the station and there was a gas station down the way and I was feeling a slice of gas station pizza or something, so I leave the station and after a few moments, I realized there was a dude following me. I immedately made a few turns and made it back to the station. When it's late at night, do NOT leave the station unless you're with friends. It's an easy way to get mugged or kidnapped.
I ride Greyhound alone all the time (actually have 2am to catch to Baltimore in a few hours) and my main tip, based on experience, would be: know what weed smells like so you don't go up and tell the driver and everyone within listening distance "it smells like the engine is on fire" and make him go out and check in the middle of nowhere and delay your trip another hour when it's just someone smoking up in what Greyhound considers a "bathroom."
... No. Always been fully aware, and definitely prefer being on time to not smelling it, as gross as it is. Someone else went up to the driver. I was pissed because we got stuck on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere outside of Richmond in a snowstorm.@@liluglymane5676
A lot of smaller towns don't have a bus station, only a designated area where the bus is to stop and make pick-ups/ drop-offs. This leaves you standing around outside in bad weather and there will be other people hanging around who may or may not be waiting for a bus. One o'clock or two o'clock in the morning? This ain't good.
True but at least in a small town you aren't as likely to run into sketchy people. I mean okay the bus stops in St. George Utah. The bud station is a Texaco station that sells bus tickets. We had a break. 2 people got off. I assume the lived thier. Why would you get off of a bus in St. George Utah if your house isn't around?
All your tips are very useful for first time traveler on Greyhound. I travel alone all the time from Boston to Miami since 1970's. I enjoy the sight see and encounter many commotion inside the bus terminals and inside the bus. Remember one thing, make sure all your pants and jacket come with zipper pockets to protect your money or I.D. Now a day, Jetblue airlines tickets are much cheaper than greyhound.
I have traveled alone, about 99% of the time and all of the tips are really good. As someone who is disabled (blind) I have managed to do pretty well, when I went on Greyhound in Canada, because of my own experiences with the coaches years before, from going to and from school. Great video.
Excellent advice guy, although I mentioned this on another one of your vids I rode the hound all over the country as I used to deliver vans and motorhomes and it was, in most cases the only way I could get home. From your video's it sounds like things are much worse now (if that's possible) At that time they still let people smoke on the bus so I always made it a point to sit as close to the front of the bus as I could. (no smoking up there and better air circulation) I guess one tip I would add is DON'T TALK TO PEOPLE in the bus station that try to strike up a conversation with you. They may be working a scam. On a couple of occasions I almost fell for scammers trying to sell me something or get me outside. Finally, I wish I could share with you all my stories and experiences but that would require a book. Even though I haven't ridden the bus in years, your videos were simply great, thanks a lot.
So write a book, a kinda biographical novel, a nice mix of fact and fiction. You might not remember every single incident that you experienced and that's where the 'novel' part helps out, it gives you wiggle room. If it was interesting enough I'd buy it. I would love to travel, don't have the $$$, so I read a lot. Anywho....give it some thought. G'day mate.
I rode the greyhound when i was 20 and i rode from Chicago to Los Angeles, it was a long ass ride but i enjoy the journey but i got a plane ticket back to Chicago. My hubsand just got a job working for Greyhound and i been working as a train driver for CTA for 1 year now.
Great points..on my one and only trip on Greyhound i went from Marietta Georgia to Seattle WA..i did not keep an eye on my baggage being loaded on the bus at each bus change..i just trusted Greyhound..i got to Seattle they unloaded all the bags my bag was not there..i went over and found a Greyhound employee out in the bus area and started to tell my story and i looked over his shoulder and here is my bag on a bus that i was not on..to this day i do not know how that happened..just happy it made there....
In 7 weeks, I'm going to Orlando for Full sail university and I'm taking the greyhound bus there. I'm really nervous about this, I'm scared that I'll get lost even though I hate my parents because they've been so abusive to me so this is my only chance to travel to Orlando from Atlanta and to never come to Atlanta no matter at all cost. I have to use my bravery, and strength to travel alone and I cannot overreact or freak out. I am nervous and it's okay but I gotta be courageous for my life worth living.
It's amazing that Greyhound cares nothing about the companies reputation or their nasty stations, the bad people who hang around the station. The security guards use to chase them out. In Columbus the police had so many calls there, they were getting ready to shut it down. Greyhound came to some agreement to hire security outside the station along with cameras and better lighting. I think a guard will have to be posted at the entrance now. It took a shooting there since its located downtown near all the new fancy expensive high rise condos and apartment for them to finally do something. Bad bus stations Like the one in my city with alot of police calls should be deemed a nuisance and shut down since greyhounds doesn't believe or care about passenger safety. One time I was leaving Marietta Ga. I was catching a late bus. Hell the little terminal was closed and I had to sit in my daughter's car until the bus showed up. There was one lone female waiting by the door, we offered her to wait with us in the car, it was dark and no one from the main street could see the back of that terminal. Than from there it stopped at the downtown Atlanta station which was packed but okay at least I was inside. It would be wonderful if someone purchased Greyhound and bring it back to the way it use to be years ago ( wishful thinking I know). Also some of the drivers can be rude as hell from being tired from driving.
I was traveling from Chicago to Miami and saw some things while I had a layover in Atlanta. It wasn't so much the stuff inside the bus station but all the stuff around it.
I was curious and tried Greyhound for a one-way trip from Los Angeles to San Diego. Upon pulling out of the LA station, we experienced transmission problems. We made it about 50 miles south of LA before the driver kicked us all off at about 10:30 pm. At 2:30 a.m., a bus coming out of another city picked up 10 of us. (I was one of the 10) This left a large number of people left behind waiting for other busses. I was so shocked by the experience I will never go Greyhound!
I think you are wonderful. This video is so comprehensive. I will travel in the future through America from Australia and have taken all you say "on board". It's so helpful. Thank you and many blessings.
I just took the greyhound by myself at 23 for the first time 33~ hours from toronto to nova scotia it was pretty fun did not think sleeping would be as easy as it is mind u it's not easy like in a bed but the rocking movement helped me sleep a lot easy it is really relaxing around Montreal I found a buddy whom was also a cannibis user who I met made the trip more fun more so during layovers I moved to nova scotia but I may take the bus around to Quebec and back because it's not that bad quiet enjoyable iv been watching this channel weeks before I left and helped me understand what to except so thanks! Glad u were here when I needed bro
THIS IS FOR UK AND EUROPE COACH TRAVEL - People say it's awful and takes to long on the bus but even though I could pay upto £200 or more for a 1 to 3 hour flight I cant justify it when I can travel the same distance for £12! I can get from Scotland to Paris for less than £40! And from Paris I can got to any European city and even Moscow for still less than €100! Sure its extra time but a big plus is amazing views! You can see beautiful things on a bus that you dont get with a plane and you just walk on and off without all that airport fuss! If you bring the right things in your carry on you can make it a comfortable journey with plenty to entertain yourself and you even get little stops for a leg stretch. I will never fly a distance I could reasonably bus or train!
As an American who lives many years in Europe (Germany) I can assure you that long distant bus travel in Europe is a gem compared to the craziness on long distant US travel.
@@fobbitguy well the way flights get delayed these days I've found ironically Greyhound is not that much slower at times. Sapose to be home in 3 hours. Well ends up being over 30. And Greyhound only 6 hours behind. Ironic. And also you have to take into account if you want the cheapest flights let's say Chicago to Miami. You'll set in the new York airport for 20 hours. Not because it's delayed but because that's the schedule. Or you can take greyhound and be in Miami only 10 hours afterwards. I mean if you want a direct flight it's oftentimes 3 x the price. Now let's say you're going all the way across the U.S. San Francisco to Miami. You might get a flight that's only $50 more then greyhound. But they'll oftentimes make you wait in Dallas for a connecting flight for say 15+ hours. Ya you'll likely cut that time in 1/2.. However if you're in no hurry riding a greyhound all the way across the U.S. isn't so bad. You'll get thier in 4 days
omgoodness.... I am leaving tonight outta DC and I found this absolutly informative... been traveling since i was 3 by myself... back when Piedmont airlines would take me from Dad and and deposit me to my Mom for visitation... but this trip today is a bit nerveracking too me... but you made my day and completely made me feel comfortable and I am not even on the bus yet!!!!! T Y... so glad I found you and these tips....
Once I had an agent sell me a ticket to a place that the bus didn't go! Luckily, Stroudsburg is right off I-80 on the way to NYC, so the driver made a short detour into town to drop me off.
Been watching your videos getting ready to travel greyhound for the first time for a backpacking trip. Great info! Makes me a little nervous considering my whole life is in a bag and it sounds like I’m going to have to be very alert for a long time, but have some decent common sense and your videos have helped really mentally prepare for the journey. So thanks! 😊
I Absolutely HATE With A Passion That 98% Of Greyhound Bus Stations Are In The Nastiest, Dirtiest, Scariest, Unsafe Skid-Row Looking Places!!! They Are Usually Located In The Downtown Area In Most Major Cities.
1984. I will never forget my first trip on the Greyhound. From sweet Columbus to Dayton. When the bus was doing the long turn on the highway, it remined me of a flight jet turning. (like TWA)
I will be going from Duluth, Minnesota to Middlebury, Vermont on my own as a young, barely-adult woman. I was super nervous before, and still nervous now, but I feel very assured. Thanks for making this video, even if I arrived four years late.
...the area in Portland OR where the buses stop (which is at a curb by the Amtrak Station rather than an actual bus station) is pretty much in an area taken over by the homeless. While the rail station and suroounding grounds are pretty much clear, the area surrounding the old Greyhound station (closed and no longer in use) where the city transit and LRT stops are, is pretty much within a "tent village" where there is lots of trash strewn about.
Gart Lonm Sorry for the late reply and I was in pain due to not being able to stretch my legs out and the buses were super late and I could barely get any rest. I have a greyhound trip to Dallas next week and to Long Beach, CA in July so I hope everything goes well this time.
i’m an 18 year old white female who is 4’11 and 110lbs. i’m about to get on a bus right now to atlanta from south alabama and i’m freaking my shit but i’m also really excited to go back home so....WISH ME LUCK
If you can fly (borrow or beg the fare), it will probably be a lot better. I took Greyhound all the way to Monterrey, Mexico and they did get me there it was just a process of time. God bless you all in your journeys!
I made 4 round trips L.A. to Portland,Oregon between 2000 and 2002. And 2 round trips L.A. to Temecula. Traveled alone all 6 times and never had a single problem. Buses were never late,and the drivers were always great.
Thank you so much for this video👌🏻It really helped cool down the nerves I had from traveling alone, the advices also given here helped a lot, and I arrived at my destination safely. Thank you so much 😩
The best way to travel on a greyhound is to not use it at all. Take the train, take a plane, rent a car, hitch hike, or ride a bike, go on horseback. lol
Tip 3 was the most helpful when I travelled alone to meet my wife in Canada (travelled from Houston). Met a group of travellers going to different stops along the way.
Great tips! Besides dressing warmly for the AC, the only suggestion I'd add is to bring along some of your own water and snacks because all of that will likely be more expensive (when available) at the bus stations.
Traveling from Miami to Kansas City, at Memphis, I was routed through St Louis, when I got there. Memphis was a stop, where the terminal people move your bag to the next bus. They had routed my bag through Little Rock, which gets in hours later. I only knew about it, when I remembered the Memphis station. There were multiple doors out to the buses. Each had the name of a city above the door. I just happened to remember the door saying "Little Rock." When I got to KC, I noticed a bus due in from Little Rock. There was my bag. 10 hours, after I got to KC. There had been a wreck, north of Little Rock. Bus was stopped in traffic for several hours.
Hahaha! Thanks for the wonderful video I have experienced everything you have said, but my slant is all of those things are what makes bus travel fun. I am sixty-two years old, six feet four, with a Mohawk haircut and bomber jacket, so I look like a crazy and it works out well. Also, I don't mind waiting. I always schedule so I have a day or two leeway on when I have to be someplace. The reason I travel is the experience. Why be in a hurry? The journey is the fun part as well as the people. You were absolutely dead on with your advice, even though I laughed my ass off the whole time thinking of my past trips. Thanks.
Make sure that you are physically fit to travel, get checked by a doctor before you leave on your trip especially if you have a medical condition or anxiety, make sure you are able to travel when you buy your ticket.
Hello, I watch all of your videos, specially the ones were you on the bus, I miss those videos, well thanks for your tips, I being riding Greyhound since 1974, but never alone, I had my mom, dad, niece, grandson, in my aunt traveling with me, from San Bernardino CA to Greensboro NC, but life has changed for me, my dad and mom passed, my niece stay in north Carolina, my grandson join the Navy, and my aunt is to old to travel to many "60" hours, so this year like every year, I want to go to North Carolina again for Thanksgiving, alone, I know my way, well so many years taking the same route, it's easy for me, I trying to se if one of my cousins wants to join me, so I don't get the bus alone, but I'm not sure if she can go, I can't wait, I love Greyhound and all those years, we never had a problem, thank God 🙏🏽, thanks so much.
Hey if u have a minute I need some help understanding stuff about greyhound I'm going to go visit someone but I'm scared and need some knowledge cuz I'm kinda confused on these vids
Nice job Tim! Great advice. It's a dangerous world out there and the wise stand the best chance of surviving. I was in Nicaragua back in 2001. Never had been there before but I bought some baggy pants.....not Levis and some real plain shirts and shoes. Never had an encounter that bothered me. My Spanish was that of a non native but those kind are all around. Like you say, don't draw attention.
I have traveled extensively throughout the world including the so called third world. Even in these "developing" countries I never felt I had to follow these suggestions. So sad. Shows you the state of things in these United States
Took a trip from Phoenix to San Fernando, was surprisingly relaxing! It took us around 8 hours to get there with 1 transfer in LA. Everyone kept to themselves and didn't have no weirdos. If anything just be there atleast 10 minutes before departure, because when I got picked up in San Fernando which is a small station, it was closed and the driver wasn't there until it was time to go and we left right away.
Thanks for the advice. I'm not too worried since it's a shortish trip and I'm a man and I'm not trying to do anything dumb... I look naive, but not like a pushover (at least I hope...) But yeah, thank you for these tips anyways.
Hey my travel people. So I went on my first ever greyhound trip alone and it was a breeze. I recommend downloading the app and buying your ticket online and make an account. They offer e-tickets which made my travel easy. My trip was a 4 hour trip and I had one stop at a greyhound station in LA and from there I went up to the security guy and I showed him my route number and he directed me to my line and after I boarded I went directly to my destination
I'm taking my first greyhound trip as a single female and I am so nervous. I took all your advise great [booked Wed at 6am] but totally forgot the crowd at the first of the month! 26 hours to go and bus only has 2 seats left! I did get the extra seat bc I have awful car sick and do not know how the bus will do. I do not want to throw up all over someone- worst case! Thank you for the tips!
One time in the 90's rode Greyhound Spokane WA to Boston. A passenger became a bit unruly and speaking incoherently. That would have been no biggie, but someone noticed in the dark night that he had a large knife in his hand. Of course nobody wanted to confront him, but the driver was made aware and contacted the cops. A few miles down the road near Erie PA driver pulled over opened the door and two police came aboard and took the man into custody without further problems. For the tens of thousands of miles I've rode buses that was the only occasion something like that happened.
We always bring liquor to drink in the back one guy got so wasted that he pissed his pants and crawlled off the bus and he left his luggage so EVERYONE YELLED FREE LUGGAGE AND WE ALL THREW EVERYTHING OUT THE WINDOW (WHITE BRIEFS YELLOW IN FRONT AND BROWN IN THE BACK
There always seem to be that one person you connect with along the trip that ends up finishing the ride with you, your both on the same bus... Why not, also when you get to a station and have a long layover.... Ask any security or greyhound workers of what places to avoid on town, there all locals and will know
Thank you so much for making these videos! I am going to really use them when the time comes to ride a Greyhound. I have a trip scheduled in a couple months and I’m terrified of riding alone.
I've been riding since the 90s as a kid. Back then we had a calling card to use the payphone. Who still uses them? The Amish. The greyhound station is in many cities like Chicago yes they still have working payphones. And it's worth mentioning some routes are frequented by the Amish. Have you ever riden with a group of Amish Tim? Even they know you can't take the horse 50 miles these days. I've seen periodically 15/20 Amish people get on and they'll ride. Sometimes only 2 stops. Other times many stops. They've oftentimes transfered in Chicago. So of course they'll use the payphone. Even they have somebody around thier destination to call and say ( hey we're in Chicago we're getting on our next bus in an hour be thier in the morning) and it's a reminder we all use to do that.
Don't get scare. You need to worry miss the connections. Greyhound bus never in time. Always keep your eyes open at the bus station, keep your luggages next to you and $ $$$$ inside the zippered picket. Do not go outside the bus station( dangerous). Good lyck.
My first time on greyhound was ok i met a couple people that where going near my destination so we stayed close together most of the time in the bus but for next time when i travel im going to just take a plane

I am a retired greyhound driver. Put in 35 years. You did a good job on tips. Baggage-you should have a large colorful ID tag showing your name address and your current destination. Those tags greyhound supplies get ripped off sometimes. Also-put a large note inside the bag with the same. Put a bright ribbon/ object on the bag to help identify it. Last but not least take a series of pictures of your baggage so in case it gets lost you will have an accurate picture to show customer service if your bag turns up missing.

While I'm not exactly a high risk target for robbery because of my size, these interactions become tedious very quickly. I would say just dress very comfortable, some baggy sweats and a loose fitting hoodie. It makes you become less of a target and will also help out with the cold climate of the buses. Great videos friend. Very informative.
I plan on wearing a drug rug and some boots and skinny jeans... so I’ll be in the middle as well 😂😭 and I’m a small girl
I’m leaving the day before my 18th birthday
@@maddydash7854 I'm hoping to go for my 20th birthday I enjoy dressing up but like ima wear pjs honestly it's a long ride
THIS is truly one of the very best trips for riding Greyhound!!!
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
@@maddydash7854 What is a drug rug?
In short -- look poor.
Back in 2016 I took a Greyhound from Indianapolis to Tampa and I stopped at the station in Birmingham AL, it was about 4AM or so and I was hungry and didn't feel like grabbing anything from the vending machines in the station and there was a gas station down the way and I was feeling a slice of gas station pizza or something, so I leave the station and after a few moments, I realized there was a dude following me. I immedately made a few turns and made it back to the station.
When it's late at night, do NOT leave the station unless you're with friends. It's an easy way to get mugged or kidnapped.
I ride Greyhound alone all the time (actually have 2am to catch to Baltimore in a few hours) and my main tip, based on experience, would be: know what weed smells like so you don't go up and tell the driver and everyone within listening distance "it smells like the engine is on fire" and make him go out and check in the middle of nowhere and delay your trip another hour when it's just someone smoking up in what Greyhound considers a "bathroom."
Ha! And don't suggest a skunk is hiding in the undercarriage, either!
Let me guess you delayed the trip because you didn't know what Mary jay smells like lol
... No. Always been fully aware, and definitely prefer being on time to not smelling it, as gross as it is. Someone else went up to the driver. I was pissed because we got stuck on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere outside of Richmond in a snowstorm.@@liluglymane5676
A lot of smaller towns don't have a bus station, only a designated area where the bus is to stop and make pick-ups/ drop-offs. This leaves you standing around outside in bad weather and there will be other people hanging around who may or may not be waiting for a bus. One o'clock or two o'clock in the morning? This ain't good.
True but at least in a small town you aren't as likely to run into sketchy people. I mean okay the bus stops in St. George Utah. The bud station is a Texaco station that sells bus tickets. We had a break. 2 people got off. I assume the lived thier. Why would you get off of a bus in St. George Utah if your house isn't around?
All your tips are very useful for first time traveler on Greyhound. I travel alone all the time from Boston to Miami since 1970's. I enjoy the sight see and encounter many commotion inside the bus terminals and inside the bus.
Remember one thing, make sure all your pants and jacket come with zipper pockets to protect your money or I.D.
Now a day, Jetblue airlines tickets are much cheaper than greyhound.
Jetblue may be cheaper, but you still have to ride in Airbuses and deal with the TSA. I'd rather have root canal.
I have traveled alone, about 99% of the time and all of the tips are really good. As someone who is disabled (blind) I have managed to do pretty well, when I went on Greyhound in Canada, because of my own experiences with the coaches years before, from going to and from school. Great video.
Excellent advice guy, although I mentioned this on another one of your vids I rode the hound all over the country as I used to deliver vans and motorhomes and it was, in most cases the only way I could get home. From your video's it sounds like things are much worse now (if that's possible) At that time they still let people smoke on the bus so I always made it a point to sit as close to the front of the bus as I could. (no smoking up there and better air circulation) I guess one tip I would add is DON'T TALK TO PEOPLE in the bus station that try to strike up a conversation with you. They may be working a scam. On a couple of occasions I almost fell for scammers trying to sell me something or get me outside. Finally, I wish I could share with you all my stories and experiences but that would require a book. Even though I haven't ridden the bus in years, your videos were simply great, thanks a lot.
So write a book, a kinda biographical novel, a nice mix of fact and fiction. You might not remember every single incident that you experienced and that's where the 'novel' part helps out, it gives you wiggle room. If it was interesting enough I'd buy it. I would love to travel, don't have the $$$, so I read a lot. Anywho....give it some thought. G'day mate.
I rode the greyhound when i was 20 and i rode from Chicago to Los Angeles, it was a long ass ride but i enjoy the journey but i got a plane ticket back to Chicago. My hubsand just got a job working for Greyhound and i been working as a train driver for CTA for 1 year now.
It is cool when you do this in early 20s. However, you will never want to ride on Greyhound again when you reach 30. It is a miserable experience.
I just took a solo trip from Mobile, AL to Orlando, FL in November and had no issues! Your videos really helped me a lot. Thanks!!!
Did they ask you for ID?
@@marvinmedrano497 They always ask for ID.
And always carry and take Imodium and gas-x when riding Greyhound. Believe me they are lifesavers. I love your vids. I just subscribed.
Great points..on my one and only trip on Greyhound i went from Marietta Georgia to Seattle WA..i did not keep an eye on my baggage being loaded on the bus at each bus change..i just trusted Greyhound..i got to Seattle they unloaded all the bags my bag was not there..i went over and found a Greyhound employee out in the bus area and started to tell my story and i looked over his shoulder and here is my bag on a bus that i was not on..to this day i do not know how that happened..just happy it made there....
In 7 weeks, I'm going to Orlando for Full sail university and I'm taking the greyhound bus there.
I'm really nervous about this, I'm scared that I'll get lost even though I hate my parents because
they've been so abusive to me so this is my only chance to travel to Orlando from
Atlanta and to never come to Atlanta no matter at all cost. I have to use my bravery, and strength
to travel alone and I cannot overreact or freak out. I am nervous and it's okay but I gotta be courageous
for my life worth living.
Yesss absolutely! Did you make it
It's amazing that Greyhound cares nothing about the companies reputation or their nasty stations, the bad people who hang around the station. The security guards use to chase them out. In Columbus the police had so many calls there, they were getting ready to shut it down. Greyhound came to some agreement to hire security outside the station along with cameras and better lighting. I think a guard will have to be posted at the entrance now. It took a shooting there since its located downtown near all the new fancy expensive high rise condos and apartment for them to finally do something. Bad bus stations Like the one in my city with alot of police calls should be deemed a nuisance and shut down since greyhounds doesn't believe or care about passenger safety. One time I was leaving Marietta Ga. I was catching a late bus. Hell the little terminal was closed and I had to sit in my daughter's car until the bus showed up. There was one lone female waiting by the door, we offered her to wait with us in the car, it was dark and no one from the main street could see the back of that terminal. Than from there it stopped at the downtown Atlanta station which was packed but okay at least I was inside. It would be wonderful if someone purchased Greyhound and bring it back to the way it use to be years ago ( wishful thinking I know). Also some of the drivers can be rude as hell from being tired from driving.
I was traveling from Chicago to Miami and saw some things while I had a layover in Atlanta. It wasn't so much the stuff inside the bus station but all the stuff around it.
I was curious and tried Greyhound for a one-way trip from Los Angeles to San Diego. Upon pulling out of the LA station, we experienced transmission problems. We made it about 50 miles south of LA before the driver kicked us all off at about 10:30 pm. At 2:30 a.m., a bus coming out of another city picked up 10 of us. (I was one of the 10) This left a large number of people left behind waiting for other busses. I was so shocked by the experience I will never go Greyhound!
Thanks for the video. I will do my first trip alone to Austin and it’s 33hrs. I’m scare but excited. Hope made it safe there
I’m
38 Hrs for me next month
I think you are wonderful. This video is so comprehensive. I will travel in the future through America from Australia and have taken all you say "on board". It's so helpful. Thank you and many blessings.
I just took the greyhound by myself at 23 for the first time 33~ hours from toronto to nova scotia it was pretty fun did not think sleeping would be as easy as it is mind u it's not easy like in a bed but the rocking movement helped me sleep a lot easy it is really relaxing around Montreal I found a buddy whom was also a cannibis user who I met made the trip more fun more so during layovers I moved to nova scotia but I may take the bus around to Quebec and back because it's not that bad quiet enjoyable iv been watching this channel weeks before I left and helped me understand what to except so thanks! Glad u were here when I needed bro
Glad my videos could help!!!
THIS IS FOR UK AND EUROPE COACH TRAVEL - People say it's awful and takes to long on the bus but even though I could pay upto £200 or more for a 1 to 3 hour flight I cant justify it when I can travel the same distance for £12! I can get from Scotland to Paris for less than £40! And from Paris I can got to any European city and even Moscow for still less than €100! Sure its extra time but a big plus is amazing views! You can see beautiful things on a bus that you dont get with a plane and you just walk on and off without all that airport fuss! If you bring the right things in your carry on you can make it a comfortable journey with plenty to entertain yourself and you even get little stops for a leg stretch. I will never fly a distance I could reasonably bus or train!
As an American who lives many years in Europe (Germany) I can assure you that long distant bus travel in Europe is a gem compared to the craziness on long distant US travel.
@@fobbitguy well the way flights get delayed these days I've found ironically Greyhound is not that much slower at times. Sapose to be home in 3 hours. Well ends up being over 30. And Greyhound only 6 hours behind. Ironic. And also you have to take into account if you want the cheapest flights let's say Chicago to Miami. You'll set in the new York airport for 20 hours. Not because it's delayed but because that's the schedule. Or you can take greyhound and be in Miami only 10 hours afterwards. I mean if you want a direct flight it's oftentimes 3 x the price. Now let's say you're going all the way across the U.S. San Francisco to Miami. You might get a flight that's only $50 more then greyhound. But they'll oftentimes make you wait in Dallas for a connecting flight for say 15+ hours. Ya you'll likely cut that time in 1/2.. However if you're in no hurry riding a greyhound all the way across the U.S. isn't so bad. You'll get thier in 4 days
What are your favorite or premium coaches you prefer?
omgoodness.... I am leaving tonight outta DC and I found this absolutly informative... been traveling since i was 3 by myself... back when Piedmont airlines would take me from Dad and and deposit me to my Mom for visitation... but this trip today is a bit nerveracking too me... but you made my day and completely made me feel comfortable and I am not even on the bus yet!!!!! T Y... so glad I found you and these tips....
I like to be careful about my surrounding for 2019.
Once I had an agent sell me a ticket to a place that the bus didn't go! Luckily, Stroudsburg is right off I-80 on the way to NYC, so the driver made a short detour into town to drop me off.
Been watching your videos getting ready to travel greyhound for the first time for a backpacking trip. Great info! Makes me a little nervous considering my whole life is in a bag and it sounds like I’m going to have to be very alert for a long time, but have some decent common sense and your videos have helped really mentally prepare for the journey. So thanks! 😊
I Absolutely HATE With A Passion That 98% Of Greyhound Bus Stations Are In The Nastiest, Dirtiest, Scariest, Unsafe Skid-Row Looking Places!!! They Are Usually Located In The Downtown Area In Most Major Cities.
1984. I will never forget my first trip on the Greyhound. From sweet Columbus to Dayton. When the bus was doing the long turn on the highway, it remined me of a flight jet turning. (like TWA)
I will be going from Duluth, Minnesota to Middlebury, Vermont on my own as a young, barely-adult woman. I was super nervous before, and still nervous now, but I feel very assured. Thanks for making this video, even if I arrived four years late.
Good luck on your trip Emma! Glad my video could help.
Thank you for these tips! I'm wanting to take a greyhound to see my best friend who lives on the other side of the state!
Tip number one from me , a person with bus travel experience and the best and only tip . Save your money and take Amtrak .
...the area in Portland OR where the buses stop (which is at a curb by the Amtrak Station rather than an actual bus station) is pretty much in an area taken over by the homeless. While the rail station and suroounding grounds are pretty much clear, the area surrounding the old Greyhound station (closed and no longer in use) where the city transit and LRT stops are, is pretty much within a "tent village" where there is lots of trash strewn about.
that elderly person tip is really good i never thought of that proper to you for that one wow
Handsome and funny! Definitely settle my travel anxiety. Please do one on Amtrak
I was miserable when I traveled to Los Angeles on Greyhound alone.
What happened?
Gart Lonm Sorry for the late reply and I was in pain due to not being able to stretch my legs out and the buses were super late and I could barely get any rest. I have a greyhound trip to Dallas next week and to Long Beach, CA in July so I hope everything goes well this time.
@@PrincessTatyanna how was your dallas trip
1985 i rode greyhound from tampa to L.A. round trip. 167.00.
i’m an 18 year old white female who is 4’11 and 110lbs. i’m about to get on a bus right now to atlanta from south alabama and i’m freaking my shit but i’m also really excited to go back home so....WISH ME LUCK
Hope your trip is going well!
Good luck your gonna get hassled
If you can fly (borrow or beg the fare), it will probably be a lot better. I took Greyhound all the way to Monterrey, Mexico and they did get me there it was just a process of time. God bless you all in your journeys!
Awesome, Tim!
I made 4 round trips L.A. to Portland,Oregon between 2000 and 2002. And 2 round trips L.A. to Temecula. Traveled alone all 6 times and never had a single problem. Buses were never late,and the drivers were always great.
Good for you.
Thank you so much for this video👌🏻It really helped cool down the nerves I had from traveling alone, the advices also given here helped a lot, and I arrived at my destination safely. Thank you so much 😩
The best way to travel on a greyhound is to not use it at all. Take the train, take a plane, rent a car, hitch hike, or ride a bike, go on horseback. lol
Go horseback hahahaha 🏇🏇🏇
I agreed. The last resources is take greyhound. U can get airlines tickets much cheaper than greyhound.
Pogo stick ??
@steve😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂Airlines are just as crazy as greyhound. I think it's worst. Crazy people, flight delays, cancellations and over booking.
Between Greyhound and piss in your shoes and float, go with the latter.
Tip 3 was the most helpful when I travelled alone to meet my wife in Canada (travelled from Houston). Met a group of travellers going to different stops along the way.
Great tips! Besides dressing warmly for the AC, the only suggestion I'd add is to bring along some of your own water and snacks because all of that will likely be more expensive (when available) at the bus stations.
Traveling from Miami to Kansas City, at Memphis, I was routed through St Louis, when I got there. Memphis was a stop, where the terminal people move your bag to the next bus. They had routed my bag through Little Rock, which gets in hours later. I only knew about it, when I remembered the Memphis station. There were multiple doors out to the buses. Each had the name of a city above the door. I just happened to remember the door saying "Little Rock." When I got to KC, I noticed a bus due in from Little Rock. There was my bag. 10 hours, after I got to KC. There had been a wreck, north of Little Rock. Bus was stopped in traffic for several hours.
Hahaha! Thanks for the wonderful video I have experienced everything you have said, but my slant is all of those things are what makes bus travel fun. I am sixty-two years old, six feet four, with a Mohawk haircut and bomber jacket, so I look like a crazy and it works out well. Also, I don't mind waiting. I always schedule so I have a day or two leeway on when I have to be someplace. The reason I travel is the experience. Why be in a hurry? The journey is the fun part as well as the people. You were absolutely dead on with your advice, even though I laughed my ass off the whole time thinking of my past trips. Thanks.
what a considerate gent thank you for your knowledge and wisdom from a traveller
Great advice. Much appreciated
This sounds like the tips for riding the NY Subway in the crime-ridden 70s
Daddalie D
Yeah don’t travel with the trash of society !
I rode by myself when I was 14. I traveled from Ohio to Illinois several times. Never had a problem. (this was a while ago).
Any advice im 16 how do i go to a specific location after i reach the greyhound stop
Do they ask you for ID
@@marvinmedrano497 at the time they didn't, but that was a long time ago.
@@popinmo depending on where you are going you can get a taxi or Uber. If it is a small town see if someone can pick you up.
@@goosubux lol ok
Make sure that you are physically fit to travel, get checked by a doctor before you leave on your trip especially if you have a medical condition or anxiety, make sure you are able to travel when you buy your ticket.
Hello, I watch all of your videos, specially the ones were you on the bus, I miss those videos, well thanks for your tips, I being riding Greyhound since 1974, but never alone, I had my mom, dad, niece, grandson, in my aunt traveling with me, from San Bernardino CA to Greensboro NC, but life has changed for me, my dad and mom passed, my niece stay in north Carolina, my grandson join the Navy, and my aunt is to old to travel to many "60" hours, so this year like every year, I want to go to North Carolina again for Thanksgiving, alone, I know my way, well so many years taking the same route, it's easy for me, I trying to se if one of my cousins wants to join me, so I don't get the bus alone, but I'm not sure if she can go, I can't wait, I love Greyhound and all those years, we never had a problem, thank God 🙏🏽, thanks so much.
Hey if u have a minute I need some help understanding stuff about greyhound I'm going to go visit someone but I'm scared and need some knowledge cuz I'm kinda confused on these vids
Awesome sauce thankyouverymuch
Nice job Tim! Great advice. It's a dangerous world out there and the wise stand the best chance of surviving. I was in Nicaragua back in 2001. Never had been there before but I bought some baggy pants.....not Levis and some real plain shirts and shoes. Never had an encounter that bothered me. My Spanish was that of a non native but those kind are all around. Like you say, don't draw attention.
This was so useful. Thank you.
I have traveled extensively throughout the world including the so called third world. Even in these "developing" countries I never felt I had to follow these suggestions. So sad. Shows you the state of things in these United States
You never know. There are crappy people everywhere!
Thank you for the solid advice
Took a trip from Phoenix to San Fernando, was surprisingly relaxing! It took us around 8 hours to get there with 1 transfer in LA. Everyone kept to themselves and didn't have no weirdos. If anything just be there atleast 10 minutes before departure, because when I got picked up in San Fernando which is a small station, it was closed and the driver wasn't there until it was time to go and we left right away.
Excellent tips! Thank you sir.
Thank you for your tips. I'm a female traveling from MO to NM and your tips will come in handy.
yet another good video, lots of good information.
YOUR FABULOUS!!
"I'm learning that common sense is a myth" 😂😂 So true!!
I have always enjoyed my rides on Greyhound busses.
I’m going to friends traveling alone this helped alot
great video u should do a video on traveling during the holidays on greyhound
Thanks...I made a video about riding Greyhound during the holidays last year I think....ua-cam.com/video/nccF6Qy9tYE/v-deo.html
Yeah... A video about catching the flew on the bus for Christmas and Thanksgiving would be nice lol
Thanks for the advice. I'm not too worried since it's a shortish trip and I'm a man and I'm not trying to do anything dumb... I look naive, but not like a pushover (at least I hope...)
But yeah, thank you for these tips anyways.
Hey my travel people. So I went on my first ever greyhound trip alone and it was a breeze. I recommend downloading the app and buying your ticket online and make an account. They offer e-tickets which made my travel easy. My trip was a 4 hour trip and I had one stop at a greyhound station in LA and from there I went up to the security guy and I showed him my route number and he directed me to my line and after I boarded I went directly to my destination
I'm taking my first greyhound trip as a single female and I am so nervous. I took all your advise great [booked Wed at 6am] but totally forgot the crowd at the first of the month! 26 hours to go and bus only has 2 seats left! I did get the extra seat bc I have awful car sick and do not know how the bus will do. I do not want to throw up all over someone- worst case! Thank you for the tips!
I was 16 years old when I made my first greyhound trip to Job Corps in Bristol Tennessee it's was Jacob Creek Jobs Corps.
very appreciated! on my first greyhound trip rn, thanks man!
How did it go?
Thanks for the tips I was planning on going out east in the distant future.
My last stop will be breakfast at McDonalds on Cooper Ave in Ardmore Oklahoma.
One time in the 90's rode Greyhound Spokane WA to Boston. A passenger became a bit unruly and speaking incoherently. That would have been no biggie, but someone noticed in the dark night that he had a large knife in his hand. Of course nobody wanted to confront him, but the driver was made aware and contacted the cops. A few miles down the road near Erie PA driver pulled over opened the door and two police came aboard and took the man into custody without further problems. For the tens of thousands of miles I've rode buses that was the only occasion something like that happened.
Front is the go to.thanks sir
the nightmare story are true stay low and watch out for the wacko
plus pack very lite and watch your phone and laptop
Thank you so much for this video . I’m getting on a greyhound from Fresno ca to Spartanburg sc and it’s gonna take 67 hours
People bring to much bags on the bus no seating available...
I’m a country boy from Arkansas.
I’m getting off on a stop in east Knoxville. It’s near the hood. I’m pretty nervous about it.
We always bring liquor to drink in the back one guy got so wasted that he pissed his pants and crawlled off the bus and he left his luggage so EVERYONE YELLED FREE LUGGAGE AND WE ALL THREW EVERYTHING OUT THE WINDOW (WHITE BRIEFS YELLOW IN FRONT AND BROWN IN THE BACK
I travel on a bus from mexico to dallas tx by myself and I’m 18
There always seem to be that one person you connect with along the trip that ends up finishing the ride with you, your both on the same bus... Why not, also when you get to a station and have a long layover.... Ask any security or greyhound workers of what places to avoid on town, there all locals and will know
For me to be on the Safe side is to sit within the First 3 rows of the bus especially if your ticket is marked Priority Boarding.
Now I have a feeling that greyhound will leave me stranded
Beginning to think I'd rather drive and pay outrageous fuel prices.
I can also smoke the whole way.
Did megabus on eastcoast...dc to atl.. fun
More good info. Thanks.
Thank you so much for making these videos! I am going to really use them when the time comes to ride a Greyhound. I have a trip scheduled in a couple months and I’m terrified of riding alone.
If there r video cameras on school buses why isn't there video cameras on these buses
I have been in the station in Sudbury so many times and found and old person to watch my bags while I go to McDonalds up the road.
Thank you how did you know I was scared.
I've been riding since the 90s as a kid. Back then we had a calling card to use the payphone. Who still uses them? The Amish. The greyhound station is in many cities like Chicago yes they still have working payphones. And it's worth mentioning some routes are frequented by the Amish. Have you ever riden with a group of Amish Tim? Even they know you can't take the horse 50 miles these days. I've seen periodically 15/20 Amish people get on and they'll ride. Sometimes only 2 stops. Other times many stops. They've oftentimes transfered in Chicago. So of course they'll use the payphone. Even they have somebody around thier destination to call and say ( hey we're in Chicago we're getting on our next bus in an hour be thier in the morning) and it's a reminder we all use to do that.
I am extreamly scared and nervous going on my own its just next state over
Bethany, if you have questions you can DM me on Instagram and I will try to answer them @timothyjward
I’m just scared about being stranded, planning to get from Boston to Vegas
Yeah especially at 2AM in a strange city .
Don't get scare. You need to worry miss the connections. Greyhound bus never in time. Always keep your eyes open at the bus station, keep your luggages next to you and $ $$$$ inside the zippered picket. Do not go outside the bus station( dangerous). Good lyck.
My first time on greyhound was ok i met a couple people that where going near my destination so we stayed close together most of the time in the bus but for next time when i travel im going to just take a plane
I haven't ride Greyhound since 2011
nice hat tim💫
A good tip about Greyhound, walk over to Amtrack and buy a ticket. Seriously. I’ll never get on another Greyhound.
Also set your alarm on your phone
Great Video 👍🏿 What makes you travel?
