Although there is no photo of the bus, I'm pretty sure it must be one of the last 4 remaining G4500's. I didn't know that they were limited only to hauling...
The last Hound I rode was almost 10 years ago. I took my Mom to St. Louis to catch a plane (I took her there by van-taxi) and came back on Greyhound. Where...
I'm no sociologist but I think it's part of the changing traveling habits of the public. 50 years ago almost every town had bus service and a lot more people...
Does anyone know if Greyhound is in the process of selling any surplused MC-12's? I was at the Birmingham, Alabama terminal the other day and say one painted...
A few simple factors that contribute to is No smoking, long transfers, traveling with undesirable passengers and bus stations are in the worst parts of town. ...
That was probably one of the buses being 'retired' from GLI service..... they're sending a lot of them out to LA, apparently - recently 5 drivers from ORL...
Thats interesting they would paint them white. I've seen the retired 102a3s, they just painted a splotch over the Greyhound name and that was it. Are you...
awhile back Continental Trailways did use LA Union station as their terminal ; yes LA union station is transit based (in the rear of Union station what LA...
You make a good point, Paul....yes, they do lease the equipment as far as I am aware. But in this instance, I heard that they sent the buses to LA beecause...
Byron, I can't be "positive' - I said "probably"..... I drove a leased bus the other night MIA to TPA - a bus according to Maintenance in Miami which was...
There are currently four "ghost" MC-12s, all ex FCTS Miami - currently in service at GLI. These are NOT prepped for sale. They are to be treated like any other...
I suspect that some of the MC-12s will be transferred to SITA who will take them south of the border and sell them off. You may thus see MC-12s all over South...
I don't understand yyour emissions thing. What possible difference could that make. As an existing vehicle it has to meet emissions standards for when it was...
... to Maintenance in Miami which was "leased for the summer from MCI". Bus #1171(?) - or in that range. It was a "short" DL Model, in full Greyhound livery,...
If I am not mistaken, the man with his hands folded across stomach and the bald head shining is John Adams and the man in the light suit with his hands in his...
Im curious about the emmissions too. ABC bus and MCI will probably pick some of these up, at least thats the way its been with the 102a3s. It always seems to...
As far the all out no-smoking ban that seems to be totally unavoidable. But, there are some problems the industry brought upon itself. Like the terminal...
These are the reasons why people choose to drive their own cars instead of riding the bus or train. I have a few friends that thought about riding the train...
I ran the speed limit in 1170 also...until that jerk tried to cause me to
wreck it when I wouldn't make an unscheduled stop for him in Temple, TX
enroute from...
Mark, Thanks for the update on service at LA Union station Glenn ... From: "Mark Panitz" <mrpanitz@...> To: <greyhoundthroughexpress@yahoogroups.com> ...
Jim... There is definitely something wrong with your numbers. You list 16 G4500's out of service. According to my list, there are 292 G4500's out of service....
I was never a Hound employee but as speaking from a former bus rider and current bus fan I'd vote for these: The Silversides The 4104 The Scenicruiser The MC7 ...
