Trying to compete by offering more

Feature on the improved Greyhound buses

Greyhound buses have not had the best of reputations. Cold, slow, and generally unimpressive. Well, someone at the marketing department has listened to the customers and the coach line is now offering a few improvements.

This week I had two 4 1/2 our trips on Greyhound and I must say that the experience is vastly improved. Of course a 150-250 kmph train would be even better, but given Western Canada's terrain and low population density that is not going to happen.

When the bus can offer services that you can't get in your car, such as Wi-Fi, it really is a viable alternative.
