The thing about Greyhound is that it is genuinely unbelievable to people who haven't experienced it and for whom functioning public transport is like gravity or air. "Unbelievable" as in "if someone tells you about Greyhound, you won't believe them". It's not merely bad, it's worse than literally any other form of travel in a developed country, probably including hitchhiking. Americans probably know this, but for the rest of us it's sort of like being told a bar serves bad drinks, then when you get there it's a dude pouring shots of wood alcohol into used specimen jars.
