> Bus is as good or better than passenger rail in many cases You may have noticed that greyhound busses are not famous as a luxury, high-status means of travel. Why do you think that is? Is it because of aggressive marketing by the car industry, encouraging americans to look down on mass transit? Is it classism, middle class types turning their nose up at the prospect of riding alongside poor people? Is it because busses face the same congestion and speed limits as cars? Is it the winding multiple-stop routes, waits for connections and inconveient drop-off locations, without higher speeds to compensate for them? Is it the smoothness of the ride, impacting users' ability to read and get work done? Is it the size of the seats? The lighting and decor? Onboard amenities like the toilet and catering facilities? Is it the punctuality?
