If someone took it over and cared about intercity bus transportation could it be good?

What's wrong with grayhound?

Last time I used grayhound it was fine.
Did it go up in price or something?

America direly needs high-speed rail.

Bus lines actually have competition. Until COVID, there was Megabus which had dirt-cheap fares in major corridors. Smaller, private lines work well, I took a shuttle from Houston to College Station after flying, it was comfortable seats on a fast, 90-minute route home.

No, it doesn't.

Most people there say they don't like the service.

Going to America and taking a Greyhound bus for transportation is like going to a restaurant, deciding to eat the moist towelettes, and leaving a one-star review.

the point is that things shouldn't be that way, other countries have functional and safe long distance busses. a more accurate analogy would be going into a restaurant asking for a glass of water and you get sodomised with a moist towelette instead. and it's not just the grayhounds, it's every single public space and basic public function.

I always felt these scenicruisers were one nudge away from being double-deckers. There must be so much underutilized space beneath that upper deck

There's not much greyhound itself can do to become a more ideal mode of intercity transit. Cities and their metro areas can prioritize it more but allowing greyhound stations to be in the heart of downtowns and by ensuring their major arterials have dedicated bus lanes that private bus companies are allowed to use. That would make it better, but at the end of the day, Megabus and greyhound were never going to be the best way to get between Dallas and NYC
