The upper classes weren't riding Greyhound fifty or sixty years ago. College students would, yes. Some college students would book a $130 one-month pass and travel a lot. But in general, would you prefer to fly from one coast to another or spend three days on a bus? You have to remember that airfare was relatively more expensive then. I never saw people standing in the aisles except once when the Midwest was fogged in and people were desperate to get home for Christmas. In those days I would stand in the back of the line, knowing that if the bus filled up, five or ten of us might get another bus all to ourselves.
