Anyone ever travel coast to coast on one?

I've done it a few times. The trip itself sucks badly for a lot of obvious reasons, but what the hell is up with the PEOPLE on greyhound routes?

It's like this whole other world of disgusting ass people that only exist along greyhound routes and nowhere else. Like, you don't even see this kind of filth in your average inner city slum.

Who else has experienced the wonders of the long greyhound trip?
 

Or are all those people that I'm talking about along the bus routes egalitarians? :eusa_think:

Do they have really bad B.O.?

Yeah, there are definitely unpleasant odors involved. But that's not really the worst part though. There's this collective level of insanity and downright weirdness displayed by people that doesn't seem to be matched anywhere else in society.

I remember the Kansas City station being the absolute weirdest one of all of them, and I've probably been to every major one south of the northern border states.

Never done it, but I imagine the same sort of people tend to frequent Golden Corrals and Ryans.

Not all of them.

However, most of the bus stops are in the arm pit sections of most towns, and the people picked up are pretty much representative.

The vegas one was alright. I had a friggin 5 hour layover there on one of my trips. At least I was within walking distance to the casinos.

But still...the PEOPLE. Soon as you walk away a bit from the station and mingle with the rest of the city, it gets much more normal.

The only reason I still go to Golden Corral or Ryans is because of my kids.

Sometimes, you gotta be able to go to a place where it doesn't matter if they make a spectacle of themselves.
 
Nascar...that's the capital of Madagascar, right?
 
Yeah I'd spend 3 days straight at a NASCAR event with nothing but a half ass cushioned seat to sit on before I'd EVER ride greyhound across country again.
 
When I was 16 I traveled from Arkansas to California in one. On the way out I sat near the toilet next to guy who wanted to place bets on whether the person entering was pissing or crapping. (We could hear everything in the business class.)

Then we got stuck at Dateland Arizona. The discussion with my fellow passengers could have been an episode of the Twilight Zone. I kept praying to the ghost of General Patton to come a draft us all into his army of the dead undead.

On the way back I got drunk and was making out with a woman I believe was really hot (records from that mind are sketchy at best) but then I must have said something offensive and she beat and scratched the shit out of me. And the bus driver threatened to throw me off!!!!!

That was my summer of love.
