| - I hadn't been on a Greyhound bus since I was a child. I was going to the north part of Mexico to meet friends, and they told me to take a Mexican First-Class bus line. I should have listened. I decided to check prices on Greyhound, and saw the price was about the same, and they advertised wi-fi on their buses and new, more comfortable seating. Note to Greyhound, when you put stuff like that on your website, people expect you to have it.
The station was grim and the people a little on the scary side. It was early morning, and I was hungry. The snack bar's sign said it opened at 5AM, and this was a weekday. By 5:30, still no sign of life, and I left shortly thereafter.
The seats were comfortable as plywood with a towel stapled on for cushioning. No wi-fi, by the way.
Ironically, they passed us to a Mexican bus line at the border to complete our trip, and oh my god, I was in heaven. Cushioning, clean, attractive buses and even a movie. What a concept!
Greyhound is for people who, for whatever reason, seem to have no other choice. Because if they did, they would take.
