Is there anything more soulful than taking a Greyhound bus from coast to coast?

Probably a train.
There's a dozen video max about this on youtube. even from /our/ guy Miles in transit.

Everyone tries to keep a smile but this is a really taking way to travel. You can do this in good spirit just once a year in my opinion. I personally get really nauseated.
The funniest vids though are from brits Noel Phillips and the one that did it first Zac Alsop.
Anyway I think there are major improvements since flixbus bought greyhound?

Yes, probably anything.

If you watch people attempt this, it's:

>constant delays
>constant cancellations
>missing connections
>dealing with uppity niggers / non-existent customer service
>Full of smelly meth heads
>No toilets / toilets caked in shit and period blood
>The price of a ticket can match air fare

Fuck. No.

Is greyhound actually better than the generic $10 intercity buses? I've only taken the $10 buses and they are HORRIBLE, I was trapped in a box with obese freaks covered in their own piss and shit, absolute nightmare scenario. never doing that again, amtrak is only like $50 more and it's so worth it.

Forcing yourself to do long boring hours of nothing but staring at the road when you could be relaxing on a train, having a beer, reading a book, working on your laptop, playing a game etc. I know what I'd rather do. Cars are fine I guess in some situations for like, last mile travel but for long distance travel they're dreadful.

I know precisely what smell you're talking about and I've never been on a greyhound, but you've just ensured I never will be either.

Buses suck, I agree with you on that, but trains and planes are comfy. I love traveling on both of them even despite the TSA nightmare. Getting to sit back and relax and do whatever you want and eat whenever you choose to rather than waiting for the next truck stop 50 miles away is so convenient. You can even shop while you wait to board. It's very leisurely.

Flew cross country when I was 10, summer '00. It was fucking awesome from what I remember being a kid, the flight attendants loved me and I got a tour of a 742 that I'll remember for life.
Spent a lot of time at airports through the 90s, dad travelled for business and grandma was a snowbird. Waiting at the gate, watching the plane arrive, and greeting whoever we were picking up right off the jetway are fond memories.

your whole family could go to the gate with you and hang out while you waited to board was the best thing other than not getting anally probed by TSA
