Travel YouTuber Noel Philips documented his experience on a long distance greyhound journey published a couple of weeks ago. ("I spent 5 Days on America's Longest Greyhound Bus. It was hell." [1]). Noel expressed huge empathy for the folks he shared the journey with recognizing that here is a desperate need for Greyhound's services, their customers tend to come from low/no income backgrounds and the company by and large treats them with contempt.

- seanmcdirmid 3y agoI did a 5 day trip on greyhound twice as a teenager. Once the southern route (from Vicksburg to Seattle via LA and through Texas and Arizona) and once the northern route (from Vicksburg to Seattle via Chicago and through Montana). The bus stopped at every prison on the route, and the prisoners from Texas and Arizona would get off at LA or Sacramento because they had nowhere else to go, it was sad. But mostly everyone was cool, if a bit smelly (well, I was also, not showering after a couple of days things get dank). My dad really couldn’t resist the $60 go anywhere fare they were running at the time. It was definitely an experience though. I met some nice people, had some weird experiences, I think back on it fondly.

Plenty of strange people demanded his seat & ticket and it wasn't any too clear that they had their own. Not to mention all the times he was left with long walks or in strange areas in the middle of the night.
