I recently to a trip with a friend from Tuscaloosa to Los Angeles. Pros: –Inexpensive –Relatively safe form of travel Cons: –Buses are pretty dirty –Passengers can be quite noisy –Layovers can be long Bottom Line: –Traveling Greyhound is for those who are on a tight budget. It’s a cheap way to get around this country if you can stand the long hours and restless nights on the bus.
