> cattle-car experience of air travel
Being herded in and out of a Greyhound at 3 AM by a pissed off driver is literally a cattle-car experience, and happens often.
I've only encountered smiling faces and helpful attitudes from flight attendants and pilots.
It's night and day.
- duckwheat 9y agoI was also a frequent Greyhound rider, mostly during and right after college (2000 - 2007 maybe). It was overall an awful experience, and in general took about 3x the time of driving a car. You do end up with about one crazy story per 8 hours travelled though.
- cmurf 9y agoSmoke breaks. I think a near majority of Greyhound riders smoke. And dang, Germans and French smoke way more than Americans - it's almost like they don't know or care that it'll kill you, and make you cough badly enough it sounds like you're dying. Somehow I kinda doubt it'll be any faster on a FlixBus.
- konschubert 9y agoFlixbus coaches do not do smoke breaks.
- cmurf 9y agoWell then it has the potential to be a buttton faster than Greyhound.
