I don’t get Greyhound. I looked up fares for the NY to LA trip and it doesn’t seem to be much cheaper than flying on Southwest, like $288 vs $328. You’re gonna spend more than the difference on meals while taking the bus trip. Their customer base has to be people who are afraid to fly, who still need to travel long distances, don’t want to or can’t drive themselves, and are too poor for a train ticket. Makes me kinda sad to think there’s enough people like that out there to support the business.
So I took a look at Sacramento to LA and it’s more like $80 vs $200, so not quite as bad as cross country. It’s still pretty fucked that there’s a significant population that can’t afford $120 to save about 34 hours of travel time.

Their base is not cross country trips. Its people without reliable transportation going to cities 3-8 hours away from their homes
