I live in Japan but was thinking of taking a Greyhound for a 2-hour or so ride during a US trip but a friend strongly advised against, the presumably exaggerated analogy was getting herpes just riding it. Another friend more familiar than me with the recent US generally concurred. So I assume that's one reason to take an Uber? I was going to look into a charter anyways based on that advice. Amtrak I'm more familiar with but at least in California it's just incredibly slow.

Greyhound is cheap, so yeah you are getting more poor people riding it. I would say its generally fine. I've ridden it dozens of times and never had issues, at least in the north east. Its usually the most cost efficient way between two cities that are nearish. The one hiccup in the north east is often that its hub and spoke which might take longer. If you are going from one small city to another small city, you are probably going to go to nyc first.
