I remember going back to Atlantic City from Tallahassee FL we had to switch buses in Washington DC and it was the last time switching buses to Atlantic City along the way most of us had to stand on the bus when it had to pick up more passengers all the way to Municipal bus terminal on Arctic and Arkansas avenue before they demolished it in 1997 along with the maintenance facility in Atlantic City that’s my favorite memories
Thank you for this, thoroughly enjoyed. I'm a frequent bus traveler throughout the north east and have seen a few of Greyhound's terminals first hand. The likes of the Port Authority, DC Union Station, Boston's South Station, Binghamton NY's, Providence RI's, Albany NY's, Buffalo NY's, Atlantic City NJ's, Philadelphia's, Burlington VT, just to name a few. Some of them being seedy, others being acceptable. Definitely is a blessing to have a place to use a REAL restroom where you can address your needs and freshen properly before, during, and after any trip. I live in NYC and so I'm forced to use the Port Authority Bus Terminal which I dread. Even as a veteran traveler I get lost in there at times depending on the subway & entrance used. The signs are confusing, the never ending construction an eyesore, and the disrepair is like cancer rot on what was once something nice. The homelessness, open drug use, and aggressive panhandling ruin the trip before it even starts. That being said, given a choice between Greyhound and a simple sidewalk based carrier like Megabus or even a Chinatown Bus for a trip to Boston or DC, I'd choose the barebones sidewalk operation instead. Even at the cost of being exposed to the elements. Why? I dont know for sure, but I just enjoy their service vs Greyhounds, & the cost. The additional cost for Greyhound, though you technically have access to more, is just not worth it when you take into consideration the aforementioned. Thanks for the clip, please keep them coming.
That's what I ran into at the Greyhound terminal in Houston. I stepped out the door for air and immediately some guy was trying to sell me crack. Yeah Greyhound terminals are great alright. It's not much better here in Kansas City. I took a three day trip from Texas to Kansas City. Not only what I mentioned but between crying little kids and the guys just out of jail with their cardboard boxes making me nervous af, it was a miserable. It's not what it once was.

The 2nd updated Washington D.C. terminal pic was actually Cleveland Oh.
Much nicer than the Port Authority in NYC! What about the UPS building on 12th Ave? I was told it was a former Greyhound depot.
ANYTHING is nicer than the Port Authority in NYC...talk about seedy!
