Greyhound Bus Transportation
Greyhound has introduced a new bus line that has re-defined the bus riding experience. The new buses have state-of-the-art amenities to ensure comfort, safety and a better traveling experience. Greyhound has put a brand-new spin on the idea of the wireless router. Now you can access the Internet super highway from the regular highway. Check e-mail. Upload photos. Download content. All from the comfort of your seat. All for free! The new Greyhound bus has multiple electrical outlets. So no more blinking-battery alerts. No more cell phones dying in mid-conversation. No more laptops turning into paperweights halfway to where you’re going — all thanks to the two brand-new, conveniently located electrical outlets. So just sit back and recharge. Free of charge. Find available coupons and deals for travel. They have also eliminated 5 seats on each new bus to give you even more legroom — 14 inches of legroom! So relax and catch some shut-eye. When you ride Greyhound, you won’t have to wait till you get where you’re going to stretch your legs.
The new Greyhound bus has been redesigned to ensure the safest ride for passengers, from large adults to small infants. Every seat is equipped with a comfortable three-point safety harness with shoulder-height adjusters. Plus, the new LATCH system can fasten your child’s car seat as easily and securely to your seat as you can in your own car. The new Greyhound is a greener means of transportation. Its more environmentally friendly, fuel-efficient engine takes close to 40 cars off the road a day. And, amazingly, it generates nearly 3 times less carbon dioxide per passenger, per mile, than a hybrid vehicle.
Greyhound Lines is the largest provider of intercity bus transportation, serving more than 2,300 destinations with 13,000 daily departures across North America. Find a location near you. Since its beginnings in 1914, it has become an American icon, providing safe, enjoyable and affordable travel to nearly 25 million passengers each year. In fact, the Greyhound running dog is one of the most-recognized brands in the world. While Greyhound is well known for its regularly scheduled passenger service, the company also provides a number of other services for its customers. Greyhound PackageXpress service offers value-priced same-day and early-next-day package delivery to thousands of destinations. And the company’s Greyhound Travel Services unit offers charter packages for businesses, conventions, schools and other groups at competitive rates.
Greyhound has three operating subsidiaries in the United States, which are a part of the nationwide Greyhound network. They include: Valley Transit Company, serving the Texas-Mexico border, Crucero USA, serving southern California and Arizona into Mexico, and Americanos USA, serving points in Mexico from Texas and New Mexico. In addition, Greyhound has interline partnerships with a number of independent bus lines across the United States. These bus companies provide complementary service to Greyhound Lines’ existing schedules and link to many of the smaller towns in Greyhound Lines’ national route system.
Amtrak passengers use Greyhound to make connections to cities not served by rail on Amtrak Thruway service, by purchasing a ticket for the bus connection from Amtrak in conjunction with the purchase of their rail ticket. If passengers desire, they may also buy a bus ticket directly from Greyhound. For travel within Canada, Greyhound Canada carries millions of passengers across the country’s provinces and territories each year. The company also provides Greyhound Courier Express package delivery service to its various Canadian locations. For those within Mexico who wish to travel by Greyhound in the United States, Greyhound subsidiary Greyhound de Mexico can sell Greyhound tickets at one of more than 100 agencies located throughout Mexico. The agencies also sell tickets for several Mexican bus companies, like Estrella Blanca, which connect to Greyhound service at the United States-Mexico border cities.
