I always had good experiences with Greyhound. I was a very frequent passenger. My job at the time required me to travel to various places across the country. When I was at the San Bernardino station, they knew I was going pick up trucks in Az. Or other places. They made sure I was considered a priority and got me where I needed to be. All drivers made sure I got to my destinations. An old friend retired from Greyhound. Many drivers knee him or were trained by him. Thank you, Greyhound, for helping me make money.
Thank you for sharing your Greyhound experience. Great story 👍
First of all, where can I find passengers to bring me starbies?!😂 I'm a driver based out of Atlanta and having passengers with the attitude you carried is what makes for a good trip (even with crying babies 😅)! I also want to point out a not so fun- fun fact- that was not an emergency exit door, that is where a wheelchair passenger will enter the coach. The seats near the wheel chair door and on the other side (because a bus can carry up to 2 wheelchair passengers at once) can be folded a slide forward or backwards to allow space for the wheelchair to be loaded on by the wheelchair lift stored in the 3rd luggage bay. The windows, wind shields, and roof hatches are your actual emergency exits. Anywho, great video, and glad you enjoyed the trip!
I’m a former Greyhound driver (1989-1996) and the CEO had no desire to invest back into Greyhound. Instead, him and his team would squeeze every dollar they could get out of the company. We use to have the worst equipment & passengers out on the road.
Thanks for sharing this. I do hope Flixbus does not do the same. I love road trips & leave the driving to experts like you 👏
CJ you are correct in your comments and whoever the CEO IS NOW he should be fired
My trip on this disgusting bus line was horrible. They sell tickets and have no drivers .. every connection I missed and had to wait hours for a bus driver. YOU ALSO WHEN YOU MISS THE CONNECTION YOU HAVE TO CALL GREYHOUND TO CHANGE YOUR TICKETS. The customer service sucks that are at the terminals because they know nothing and do nothing
I couldnt believe i was traveling with a you tuber....im the one that has the baby!!! Hope to travel together again!!
So adorable 🥰 You are blessed 😊
Everyone's a youtuber lol.
I remember you! Youre the one that changes your baby right in the isle seat
I still like to take Greyhound once in a while to look at the country side while being on the expressway. I also take the Greyhound from Chicago to Minneapolis every year 8 hours. I'm also gonna give Indian Trails a chance from Chicago to the state of Michigan. I also love to take Amtrak Hiawatha Service to Milwaukee and i also like the Wolverine to Michigan. The seats on Amtrak are way better because more legroom compared to Greyhound.
what wonderful trips!
I love it that you review the entire span of travel classes. From busses to first class to basic economy you review them all! Thank you!
Thank u & I truly appreciate u said this 🥰
Back in the day, there was Trailways and Greyhound. The latter bought the former. All was good. Then the prices went up. I haven't travelled by bus in 40 years but having someone drive me to San Diego instead of me fighting traffic might just be a good alternative!
From LA to SD, my best option is pacific Surfliner direct. It’s coming back permanently soon…
Before the Trailways buyout, Greyhound was actually a quality company, especially for bus travel. Nowadays, I wouldn't ride under threat of death. Flix has turned Greyhound into a curbside company much like Megabus. There are almost no terminals, a bunch of seedy gas stations, underpasses, and run down grocery stores serving the riders. Almost no agents to speak with in person and loading and transferring your own luggage. Thanks. But no.
January 20, 2024. I was departing from Montréal to NY, but trip cancelled due to the mechanical issue, and there was no spare bus. The Greyhound driver even said that ever since Flix aquired Greyhound, it's gone down the drain, and not unusual that many bus trips are cancelled without notice. In the past, if the bus was full, they'd add an extra bus. No longer the case anymore.
So what happened next?
Reminds me of the time I drove a bus from Sacramento to Los Angeles, it was my regular run. As we were leaving one morning a guy got on and said he need to go to Hollywood. I told him you're on the right bus we're going to Los Angeles, and took off, he started screaming NO I'm going to Hollywood, before I could explain to him, that Hollywood was just an area in Los Angeles. He jumped off the bus when I was doing 10 miles an hour, rolled around on the concrete. I stopped to see if he was all right and he just gave me the finger. I didn't think any more about it, until the next day. I was on my regular run from Sacramento to LA again, when I see this guy with a bandage head hitchhiking, holding up a sign that says Hollywood or bust. I'll say this he must have busted his head when he fell. And I always wondered if he got a ride with anybody did they tell him they are going to Los Angeles. If so he might have jumped out. This happened in April 1976 but I remember it like yesterday
Thanks for sharing your story. I don’t have words to describe it ☺️ I’m glad u r ok tho, that was wild
I've always enjoyed a good old-fashioned conniption fit. Makes one quietly revel in one's sanity... 🤠
It's shocking to see all of the old depots and staff are gone. I was a Greyhound driver for 8 years in the 90's. I was based in Portland, OR and Wichita, KS. In 1970 my family planned on driving our truck with camper to Miami, FL, until we rolled the vehicle on slick highways near Winslow, AZ. My Great Uncle paid for a Greyhound trip for us all (3 kids and parents), which was an adventure. When I finished high school in Sacramento, CA, I joined the US Navy and the Navy processing center was in Oakland. I took my first solo Greyhound trip to Oakland in 1983. When I arrived in Oakland, I had to walk with my luggage to a hotel 3 blocks away which in hindsight was a dangerous thing to do. Even before I left the old Oakland depot, I was asked 2-3 times if I'd like to buy drugs! I was a proud Greyhound driver and considered it one of my favorite jobs in life. The only reason I quit was because I was newly married in Kansas and had sunk roots when they eliminated the driver hub location in Wichita. I finished my driving career as a cross country tour bus driver in 2009 when I went back to University to get a BS and MA in American History. My, how time flies...
Thank you for sharing your experience & thank you for bringing people safe for 8 years to their destinations 🥰
You were on the west coast with new buses and terminals. Greyhound has been selling lots of terminals. Now you catch a bus in a McDonald's parking lot, converted gas station or maybe a city bus terminal. Food/restrooms maybe. Not all buses have plugs/wifi either. FYI the Vegas stop is no longer downtown they moved a couple years ago to a city yard south strip area. Definitely gonna need a Uber.
Thanks for sharing these insights. After flixbus bought Greyhound, the stops have also changed. I do not agree in all pick up places they chose but it has improved imho
Hey babe loved your trip on greyhound bus. Thanks for sharing again you fun travels
This was challenging and all worth it. Really appreciate everyone who was game to be in the video 😊
I took the Greyhound last year from Anaheim to San Francisco. It wasn’t the best but at least I came out alive. Still choosing the Isarog Bus from Manila to Legazpi.
& I’m glad u r safe too 🥰
I purchased a round trip ticket to México City and back to Orlando.
Upon arriving in Houston our bus arrived 4 hours late. Upon leaving and arriving in San Antonio there was no apparent desire to board/disboard with any urgency to try and arrived in Monterrey within any semblence of the hours scheduled. In San Antonio it took a whole hour to board the passengers before heading to Laredo and finally Monterrey.
All of this was after stopping at múltiple stations that were dirty and with barely functioning bathrooms.
Upon arriving in Laredo the individual attending was at least the first person who tried helping but unfortunately misdirected me. Because the bus arrived late and the misinformation I Lost 12 hours without being able to sleep in Laredo. Luckily in Monterrey they have proper understanding of how to manage transport and I was able to arrive in México City without more complications.
I have used buses and public transport in EVERY part of the world from Thailand to Europe and have never had such a terrible experience.
Sorry for your experience and thank you for sharing. I haven’t tried a long haul bus in US except for 5 hr LA to Vegas which is a common route. I have heard of horror delays due to traffic, bus maintenance. I think one of the simplest things they can they do is communicate to riders any news as soon as you can and be transparent. Lucky, I got a good bus and driver… Nonetheless, I am glad you are all well and safe 🥰
The bus service in Mexico is way superior than that in the USA.
Just subscribed to you after watching your recent collab with Jaycation! Great job! All the best to you in your video endeavors!!
Appreciate u & happy travels 😊
Love your video, you were great on explaining every detail, and I wish you can go to North Carolina from California, and make a video, like this one, thank you so much, I enjoyed my trip with you, I felt I was there, love Greyhound ❤️, have a safe staying, I'm from San Bernardino Ca.
This means a lot to me 🥰 that’s pretty epic suggestion.. Maybe I can try one day & make a grand US trip 😍 Have a safe journey 💕
I won't miss your videos, for nothing, please do so, God bless you always 🙏
I like the humor in your videos a lot. I use the bus sometimes in the northeast where I live. I've had good experiences with Greyhound and Peter Pan. They're pretty professional here.
Thanks for laughing with me. Peter Pan? That’s interesting 😊
Great video! Thank you!😊👏👏👏
Appreciate you saying this. What made it a great video? I want to improve my craft 😊
I will be riding flixbus next month roundtrip from Los Angeles to Las vegas! Never really had a issue with greyhound besides the one time my luggage disappeared and never got it back! Have a wonderful day beautiful lady😘😘😘xox
Wow, that’s alarming with Greyhound. I made a vid from LA to Vegas thru flixbus. It’s comfortable having no seat mates for 5 hours 😊
@@babetravelling Wow lucky you...I pretty much always have to seat next to someone on the bus😘😘😘xox

Welcome to Kenya 🇰🇪Nice transport services here from buses to trains
Nice! I used FlixBus traveling in Europe in between cruises - Rome to Rimini Italy to Milan to Bologna to Port of Genoa, Italy via train. Then Flixbus to Ljubljana Slovenia to Nepliget Hungary to Belgrade Serbia where I flew back to Texas. However, I have not done it here in the USA yet since I drive and fly most of the time. I am considering taking Flix/Greyhound from Seattle King Station to San Antonio, TX though:). If I do, it will be my longest bus ride at almost 60-hours haha.
U’re a flixbus euro expert. Lmk , how the 60 hrs and go. I’m curious of the difference 😊 safe travels 🚌
I enjoy your attitude on these videos
Thanks for the boost of confidence. Really appreciate all the good humans around me..
I used to take Greyhound bus, from San Bernardino to Greensboro, N.C, almost every year, with my parents, grandkids, aunt, and niece, but my parents passed, my niece stayed in NC, my aut it to old, my grandkids, one in college and my boy in Marines, so it me by myself, but I'm going to visit my brother, in NC, next year, if God's willing, can't wait, the only thing is the tickets price, are so high, almost $500dls round trip, but don't matter, just want to travel Greyhound. ❤❤❤❤️
Great memories of you & your family. True treasures 🥰
Looks like coach on an airplane. I would take Amtrak for sure. Thank you for taking one for the team.
Haha… I’m glad u appreciate this trip. It did feel like I’m in an economy flight
Had no idea they bought them out so that explains the changes on the Greyhound app! I just watched your video about riding the Sunset limited and I’m taking that train from New Orleans. To Maricopa, Az then a bus ride to Phoenix.
Since they combined operations with Greyhound, Flixbus' prices have soared. Last year it was $10 from L.A. to San Diego if you booked ahead. This year the price has doubled. Choose Your Seat fees and the silly booking fee (I do all the work online to book a ticket and they charge me for that?) have also risen.
@@richardweiler6931 Yeah that’s ridiculous
Greyhound has been through a lot since 1980 and no matter who owns service has never been the same and since they went from 43 to 47 to 50 and now 55 seats there is no legroom for anyone over 6ft tall and that makes for a very uncomfortable ride for any length of time if you have to sit next to someone. Greyhound needs to go back to 52 seat coaches which give decent legroom for everyone and makes for a comfortable ride!
Thank you for sharing your experience for someone tall coz I’m petite lol
When it said. Santa Ana i was like i miss Santa Ana . It's in El Salvador.
8:30 PM? No way, ma'am! It's way too bright for 8:30 PM, lol!
lol ikr!
Through the Flixbus app, I'm taking a Greyhound from Pittsburgh to NYC, then a 40 min layover, then to Albany. It's my first time going on a Greyhound and I'm just super nervous! I keep hearing all these bad things, like crazy people, charging stations not working, etc. Send help. xD
I hope all goes well. No delays so u can make it to ur transfer 🤞
@@babetravelling It was long and pretty boring and on the last day back, I ended up with and still have covid! :)
@@TurbidTG1 uh oh…. Get well ❤️🩹
This seems very cool 😊i wanna try them
$78 million and First Group kept the real estate, that's bus stations are such an issue now.
hopefully, bus stations improve 🙂
Hello Miss Media, i like how you tour us inside the greyhound, its been ages since i rode one to vegas. The toilet seems nicer now. 😊
Thanks for checking it out. Greyhound has a stigma & im scared of that myself. Im mostly scared of public toilets lol if u say it’s better, I’m relieved.
@@babetravelling that's already 3 stars quality hehe
Next time my mom, my brother Chris and I took a trip to between Jimmy's Berry Farm and the Jimmyland Resort for the first time, I should've gone with Mom and Chris to the Greyhound Bus Lines at the bus station for our trip to between Jimmy's Berry Farm and the Jimmyland Resort for the first time from San Jose to Anaheim back in the year of 2000. Only I could go back to the beginning for my whole memories back in time and turn myself and other people back into young.
Wonderful sharing 🥰 San Jose to Anaheim seems like a good road trip 😊
@@babetravelling It sure does. Thank you. I love to get a chance to take the Greyhound Bus Lines at the bus station from San Jose to Anaheim.
So real quick on the restroom...let's give credit to the LA (not Glendale ) bus cleaners on the AM shift❤🎉 woot woot that's my man 😁
Woot woot 🎉
@@babetravelling I know it was clean cause he is the man. Been with greyhound for 20 + years ❤️
Omg thanks for showing the bathrooms 🚻
I sweat everytime I go to public loos 🫣 thank you for making it worth it
From Midland to Lubbock, Texas a 2 Hour Dr. took us 13 hours to get to Lubbock going to Carlsbad almost every city
This 2 hr drive took me 4 hours and I’m complaining lol ur experience humbled me
Tks , watched the whole video. Travelling alone you have to be aware of surroundings all time. Retired and I plan using buses, Greyhound - Flix next week come back from tallahassee fl to ft lauderdale fl. one way to drop off friend and car there. If scheduals flexable it works to take bus. Overall 9 hrs less than it takes board plane etc. point to point. Appreciate knowing if bathrooms are clean and seats roomy. Tks again.
Appreciate you and hoping everything goes well. Good take on being aware while traveling 😊
Oceanside is a nice beach town that a lot of people don't know about. I was just there last October. 2022.
Thanks for doing the vidio.
LOVE UR STYLE SISSTA 💜👍🤙🙏
Appreciate u really 😊
My experience tonight wasn’t awful 5:40pm union station to Palm Springs. I wish I could show you a photo of the interior, the black leather seats were all eroded, literally peeling off and ripped apart. My seat in particular didn’t recline and I bought two seats individually for 41$ each.
Thank you for sharing your experience. That’s expensive. Is that a last minute buy? I understand that some of greyhound buses don’t have the most comfy seats verified by other comments. I’m glad you had safe travels 🥰
What you thought was an emergency exit is actually a door for wheelchair access
Lol… you are correct. I learned from one of the commenters too. Thank you & happy travels 🥰
First Group bought the buses and the stations. Flixbus only purchased the buses. A big difference. Plus Flix shut down Greyhound's package express service which used to produce over 50% of Greyhound revenues.
Thanks for the share. Just a tiny correction. Flixbus bought the whole of Greyhound. It’s their choice to maintain the stations. I am hearing a lot of complaints about changing bus stops 😊 what is a Greyhound package express?
@@babetravelling First Group actually did not sell the company owned stations to Flix. Flix has to decide if they are going to keep the leases on stations, however Flix owns zero stations. Greyhound Package Express was a package shipping service that existed with Greyhound for 100 years. Companies would ship items by Greyhound. Greyhound used to generate more revenue with package express than passengers. They used to have dedicated buses that only hauled freight. Flix eliminated package express as you need bus stations to offer that service. The goal of Flix is to eliminate Greyhound. Greyhound drivers are union and Flix independent contractors are not.
2 or 3 times a year. I take the greyhound from La to las vegas, Have never gotten a comfortable seat , they're all old and they're all flat and hard , Maybe with the purchase from flicks they will upgrade and get newer seats. I certainly hope so
Have u tried Flixbus LA to LV? I have a video of it too 🥰
@babetravelling not yet , will do though , will watch your video when I get home from work today, thank you take care
Good video. Thank you to the creator of this UA-cam video.
Thank you so much for the good review of my review 😊
I was thinking about applying as a driver with my years of experience. Then I see the bus was a Provost lol. I need an MCI, new one at that. Same bus, 5-6 days a week, ill clean it myself. I just prefer my own vehicle that I'm comfortable in with no damage. FlixBus, if you see this comment, them my only requirements out of San Francisco. Hit me up if you trying make something happen.
wish you the best on your future endeavours :)
Welcome to Kenya 🇰🇪Nice transport services here from buses to trains
I’m confused if this is a joke
Very nice and informative video. Are pedestrians allowed to bring bicycles on the greyhound 🚌?
I’m thinking of making a video bringing a bike but to answer your question, it’s yes, as an oversized luggage 😊
How did you get greyhound as your bus? Did you use the greyhound app or flixbus? App
Hi, for this one I am already using the greyhound app and then I look which bus they are using for that certain time.
As a former Greyhound bus driver, did you had to pay a small fee for your seat when you took the bus?
Good question. I think there is for booking online as a convenience fee…
There is a 4.99 fee to reserve a seat now, since flix bought greyhound there are now assigned seats
@@sincereuni4m452 good sharing, didn't Greyhound didn't have reserved seats before
@@babetravelling it’s a new thing I think only a few select trips have it tho
Nevermind the bus, you're cute!
Haha.. thank you 🙏
Can i have questions pls What do i need to show when riding a Greyhound bus? is it okay even without id?
They honestly didn’t check, just scan code but bring ID just to be certain 😊
sorry for the question, but if I don't have an ID because I lost my ID, can I still ride the bus?
Greyhound WAS! One of our main transportation companies in our country - Greyhound had no business selling the company to another country - Now a German company owns it and NOW, New Jersey and Philadelphia NO LONGER HAVE A BUS STATION!. People are standing on the streets to wait for their bus, NO PLACE TO SIT OR GO TO THE BATHROOM OR REST UNTIL YOUR BUS COMES - ... absolutely horrible! Transportation EVERYWHERE has gotten so messed up it's pathetic - People need to contact state and government officials and make huge complaints about this - this is horrible - I've never seen something so damn stupid!
I heard they have an assigned seat policy like in Europe terrible
Jack Reacher travels by bus.
Nice I hope to cross paths with him some day 😊
Don't worry, I will give you a ride for free! 😂👍
PS- You're adorable like always!😁
oh thank you! This video was a challenge to make and truly appreciate the people that works behind the bus companies. Big changes will be made by Greyhound...
@@babetravelling Great job as always sweetheart👍 ❤
Did you had to pay for a seat or did the Greyhound bus driver assigned you a seat?
I chose my seat for this trip. A guy tried to sit on my assigned seat. I wouldn’t mind it on a regular trip but I needed the seat so I asked the kind driver to assist me. I was really shy to ask…
Question so if I buy a ticket from the flix bus app I'll still go to a grayhound station?
Hi, you will have to check ur tix on the app. It will tell you exactly where the bus stop is in the map. Also, I’m about to post on Wednesday flixbus vs greyhound. If it’s not too late, this will be a great watch for u 😊
@@babetravelling thank you so much I'll be on the look out on Wednesday.
yes, Im editing now :P@@Redbonnet98

I'll give you an honest review having just gotten back from a trip from Indianapolis to South Carolina. It's HORRIBLE! It should be the very LAST option! I saved you 8:45 of your life!
I’m sorry ur trip did not end well. I’m glad u r safe otherwise 🥰
Thanks, I am too. I knew, after watching a ton of videos here on UA-cam, how GreyHound was and they were 100% honest and correct. GreyHound should be the LAST option. Our the second leg of the trip told us before we got to the next station that is was going to be very rough there and to literally hold onto our bags, because they would get stolen. I did not feel safe and ( Lord willing ) will NEVER have to travel with Greyhound again.@@babetravelling
wow, that's a crazy leg of the trip@@CarlyleD
Hi If I’m travelling from Minnesota to California do I need passport if I’m a foreigner also does border patrol do checks ?
I heard boarder patrol does random checks.. but I never carry passport and flixbus does not really check IDs
If you travel up from San Diego toward Los Angeles, the border patrol does climb aboard at San Clemente. They check ID (if your American) and your passport if you're a foreigner. On occasion they do escort folks off the bus who apparently lacked proper documentation.
I want to travel from Ohio to Orlando to go to Disney, my husband is extremely afraid of flight and when we went to Disney he drove but when we went back he told me that he never going to drive again to Orlando. I had checked videos of greyhound drivers and customers and they’re just terrible 😂 so I’m really afraid and hesitate to do that trip with greyhound, so you recommend the service? There is another bus line that you could recommend? I really want to go back to Disney with my husband. Thanks!
try check out Flixbus :)
Have you ever be in a long trip, like those that last 23 hours and you have to change bus, I want to know how that works?
@@lili1981sandoval the longest trip I had in flixbus was the overnight one ( I have a video of it ) I’m particular with rest rooms, I think this is my greatest challenge on travels
If you take a Greyhoud from Ohio to Orlando, you'll most definitely be on at least two different buses with at least 3 different drivers. I drive for Greyhound and I know theres a route that goes out of Ohio, to Louisville where you'll get a new driver, and that driver would take you from Louisville through Nashville, Chattanooga, and then Atlanta, and once you get in Atlanta you will get a new bus and driver, and then be en route to Orlando. I'm not sure if there's a route that goes through the Carolinas, but if there is, you can expect a similar situation, just a different location for your first driver change- which if I had to guess (if we even have that route) would be in Raleigh NC or Charlotte NC, but once you get to Atlanta, it'll be the same setup either way.
@@poorlittlebiker6476 Hi, thanks for your answer. Do you recommend this kind of trip with Greyhound? Or better not?
That was a wheel chair seat area not an emergency exit.
makes more sense lol thank you!
Why are most us these coaches rear bumper rip off at the end. Can't Greyhound repair the coach, its bad PR, very bad P. R.
Hmm… good question, maybe coz the stitch is there & the cloth is too fitted 🥰
I'm taking a greyhound from Indianapolis, IN to New York, NY. I'll give it my honest review then

I heard its terrible now with assigned seating.
Flixbus and greyhound don’t really follow it but would be good to try an updated version 😊
@@babetravelling disagree a cousin of mine took a Greyhound recently and they were strict with seat policy. I think its not a good policy and only creates frustration.
Greyhound operator is very dishonest. I purchased my ticket online on canada cite. And they charged me as US currency, I felt cheated by this shit company/ operator because the cite didn't tell you it was USD!
They should improve on their site for currency or make a note that it will be in USD…
Since I don't trust; how much of this is true in April 2023. I would like and need correct proper information. Not bs
I trust this is a video about why not to jump on a bus?
Lol… it has pros and cons and it’s up to you what u prefer 😊
and leave the driving to us
💯
FlixBus is killing Greyhound little by little !
Intersting.... why do u think so? 🙂
@@babetravellingthe assigned seat policy
@@jennahaze6835 tbh, they don’t really follow that
After seeing this and looking at both prices it’s cheaper to get an airplane ticket than these overpriced buses
This is true sometimes but some are scared to be on a plane & prefers road trips 🥰
Flix bus should get their money back!! Greyhound is going down the Drain!!
Worst way to travel!!
I hope they make Greyhound cool again
Trop souvent en retard de plusieurs heures et pour te faire rembourser tu peux courir. Des guignon cette boîte
They were indeed late for 30 mins in this ride… hope it will change soon
The worst thing that ever happened to Greyhound with flixbus buying it. FlixBus is the Uber if Bus
Hope it all works out. Flixbus definitely has a new bus feel to it
@@babetravelling FlixBus is the Uber is Bus Lines. All the buses you see that are painted with FlixBus they don't own. They contract outside private bus. The only buses they actually own is the Greyhound buses that they inherited when they bought the company.
@@vegasone big move!
Greyhound treats people like trash. This is an obviously sponsored video or greyhounds own pr department. Greyhound can be fine for going within a few hundred miles. But when you go cross country it's really awful.
thank your fo watching and giving your insight. It's not a sponsored video for clarity. I kinda agree that this was a simple trip and cross country would be much more difficult. The Greyhound crew treated us well on this trip and very grateful to them for a safe trip.
Wooow the greyhound bus have flight attendant 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Lol, I said the same thing confused. The lady driver during this day is on training and the attendant is her supervisor
Only million?
The art of interstate carrying.cannot you do anything right.the people are buying.and yet.the job is too much for most.why is that FLIX? If that is your real name?
U mean Flix needs more employees to smoothen things?
Greyhound has been horrible for years. Every ride I’ve taken has been atrocious.
Lysol id very important before you sit your bottom . 😅
I mean it's dirty not you
Good tip 💯
why do you stand next to a loud engine and talk? Makes no sense.
For d backdrop 😉I’ll try not to forget my mic for a crispier sound 😊
Hi there, just to let everyone know i work at greyhound, more specifically at the fares and schedules area and if anyone wants to ask a question im willing to answer anything
But just to anser the basic
1) Kids less than 2 years old can travel free, kids at the age of 2 or above need to pay for a ticket.
2) since covid we don't have discounts anynore, greyhound changed their policy's and we are not offering any type of discounts :/
3) a 16 year old can travel without company, by this i mean that if a kid thats 16 years or above buys a greyhound ticket they are able to travel without any type of documentation
4) we don't really ask out customers to carry on an ID or drivers licence to buy a ticket/aboard the bus, but we recommend you to have the documents needed in case you are crossing the border
5) if you are taking extra luggage remember to add it when you are buing your ticket, extra luggage costs 19.99$
6) rescheduling your ticket must be done atleast 15 minutes before bus departure, in any case you are not able to change it you will need to pay an extra amount to change time and date of departure
7) if you get stranded in another bus station thats not on your ticket, we recommend the customer to go the nearest greyhound bus station to let the staff know you are stranded, we will change your ticket but if you give us a call asking if we can change it for free, we dont be able to do it.
8) remember that the phone number you call its not customer service, thats the fares and schedules/to schedule your ticket department, if you give us a call regarding a refund, we won't be able to process it because we don't have the necessary tools to make that procedure, that will be with customer service that can be contacted at greyhound page, you'll need to feel out a "request a refund" form and you'll get news within the next 24 to 72 hours post-finalizing the request
9) we are not responsable if the bus departed earlier than estipulated on your ticket since we recommend our customers to be atleast 30 minutes before departure time on the ticket
10) its a must to have an email for us to send the ticket, phone number is not necessary
11) remember that re-scheduling your ticket its reserving a seat on another bus, and a extra payment needs to take place since, like already said, its a different bus and a seat that someone else could've bought at a standard price
12) remember that when the bus driver makes a stop he/she wont wait for you, if he/she gives 10 minutes, than you got 10 minutes to strecth your legs, go to the bathroom and buy somefood, if the bus driver leaves and your luggage its still on the bus and you give us a call, we won't be avle to contact the bus driver, its not that we're not able to, but its because we don't have the bus driver information, and even so, he/she won't get back to get you because he /she has other passengers than need to make transfers and they need to be on time, if you call us we will recommend you to go at greyhound.com and fill out the "missing luggage" form
13) ****FARES AND SCHEDULES ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE WITHOUT PRIOR NOTICE**** we always explain this to our customers because when they give us a call an agent my say a price of a ticket and when he calls us back again asking to the same ticket the price its going to be different, why? Because of demand and depending how full the bus is getting
14) agentd are humans to, just because you overslept and couldn't be on time at the station doesn't mean the agent you call deserves to be yelled at because of customers fault.
Thank you so much for the guidelines. I am planning to do another trip with greyhound 😊 I highly agree on #14 too
Dislike prevost brand Coach ☹️☹️☹️ l prefer MCl brand Coaches
I had to google MCI lol but great input. Now I know it’s America’s best bus maker
@@babetravelling MCl MOTOR COACH lNDUSTRY lNC not only USA's best Coach manufacturing company, l believes so, its worldvide best.
@@babetravelling MCI is Canadian!
show me the money!!!!
haha...meanwhile I'm here debating if I should spend extra $10 on pacific surfliner
Never use Greyhound Again.
I wouldn't say never but greyhound could be sometimes a pain
Why Greyhound? Because you have no choice.
Haha… that was one of the girl’s reasoning when she didn’t know there is Flixbus. I also made a recent video about Pacific Surfliner. They are back in full service.
Worst experience of my life
What happened? 😱
Sounds like pilipina
mabuhay 🙂
Super annoying
may I know y? 🥰
Terrible service
oh no, what happened?
Don't trust them
how come :)?
The Driver lied and said the bus has to be cleaned but left us in VA Greyhound for 20 hours no food of hotel vouchers
that's horrendous! I'm sorry for this experience :/ @@Hborn
greyhound was so bad and over loaded
that maybe the reason for the big drop on their market price... quality ride for all
@@babetravelling 😀
last summer i took greyhound from pittsburgh to toronto..with stops in cleveland,erie and buffalo...it was a TOTAL NIGHTMARE on the way up and way back!!!!! avoid them like the plague..if ANYONE else goes where you are going take them.
Thanks for sharing your experience. What made it terrible?
@@babetravelling welllll, they were very late leaving Pittsburgh, then in no specific order..late leaving Cleveland, when bus showed up it broke down on the way out of cleveland, one bus had no air on a very hot day, another smelled like raid bug spray, rude employees, bus station in pittsburgh had no actual employees at the counter, then on another trip in the cold weather no one knew that the erie station was closed to the passengers..there was staff in the building but they would not let us in out of the cold. we waited outside for about an hour and a half for the late bus. the buffalo bus station closed at night forcing me to pay for a hotel for only 6 hours as there was no where to go! I go Amtrak now or megabus if they go where greyhound goes..greyhound/flix is thee worst way to travel i have ever experienced and i'm almost 70. thank you and Jah bless.
Former USMC. I traveled in the past it was ok. I like the assigned seats. But the BUS STATION IN TAMPA, FL IS UNDER A BRIDGE. Bus drivers that stopped there didn't give a SHI* about answering costumer's questions. That's what our money is worth and our value and our safety. I took a trip to Knoxville TN. In Atlanta our trip was canceled after being there 9 hours with bus 0105 canceled 2xs. They offered a Voucher or Reassigned your route for another time. HOW convenient as a smart A** remark. NEVER AGAIN SAVE YOUR MONEY AND TAKE A SAFER ROUTE.
Thank you for sharing and sorry for your experience. That was a real nightmare…
Them seats NOT comfortable im 5v11 and they was ASS
Uh oh… what would make it comfy?
@babetravelling more cushion on bottom seat was compressed to the frame on all greyhounds I been on amd I've been on 23 rides with them from boise Idaho all the way to San diego and San Ysidro
@@christopherjacquez8605 how about investing on bringing a cushion. Too much?
@@babetravelling yeaa to much
