This is a 23 Minute Ad for Amtrak and I love every second of it

As someone who can't sleep on a bus this would be how the FBI gets me to talk.

Honestly, this makes me feel better about Greyhound completely abandoning my home of Western Canada. Because evidently no service isn’t really that far below the customer service situation in the US.

The late Harry Chapin sang, "Take the Hound, it's a dog of a way to get around." Sounds like things haven't changed much in nearly 50 years.

You know you're in for the long run...when the driver doesn't even know where the Greyhound stop for Norristown is, someone is left behind because the driver left a minute early at a random stop in the middle of nowhere, and paramedics are called at a locked bus station in Denver. You might not have completed the journey on the same bus, but at least you got to stop for your Auntie Anne's somewhere and enjoyed the incredible views in Colorado and Utah! Speaking like Gollum when you finally reached Colorado at 12:02 is priceless. Yup, the Gateway Arch is bigger than you think! It's the tallest monument in the whole Western Hemisphere! It's 630 feet tall and is 75 feet taller than the Washington Monument! It's the smallest park in the NPS system with the designation National Park (but Thaddeus Kosciuszko National Memorial in Philly is the smallest unit in the NPS system in general), when it was redesignated and renamed from the Jefferson National Expansion Memorial in 2018. Honestly a National Monument, which is what the Statue of Liberty is, is a better designation for it because the status of a full-on National Park is meant to be land set aside to protecting the country's different kinds of gorgeous landscapes what you saw in Utah. But I still think it's an incredible engineering feat! Especially its unique elevator tram using Ferris wheel elements designed by Richard Bowser. He worked on elevator equipment with his father! He visited an elevator company in Moline, IL to see a friend when by chance, the company got a call from Eero Saarinen that they were looking for a group to take on the big project. Bowser made a return call. When Eero called back, he gave Bowser two weeks to design and present in front of the team

greyhound is definitely getting sued by that person they left behind in parowan; i can't even imagine how they would get to where they needed to be

Sad to say that as of the writing of this comment, the routes from NY to LA are no more. The last published Greyhound timetable I could find with any of the routes was from November '22; the December '22 timetable removes any mention of them.

I had a 4 day trip, Chicago to Salt Lake City. Because it was last minute, the only routes available took me clear down south to Texas, west to California, then north to Reno and finally east to Salt Lake. I only lasted till Dallas. Got a flight back to Salt Lake that night and never looking back. Normally, I would take Amtrak. Except my train was cancelled. Hopefully my train never gets cancelled again. I can handle a late train... there just needs to be a train.

the beginning of this felt the early parts of a found footage horror movie when everyone is friendly and excited to go on an adventure only to end in....GREYHOUND

Thank you for dealing with the trauma and documenting the experience, so we don't have to.

people complain about the passengers, but it's the company that's the worst. I kinda want them to go bankrupt so the government is forced to provide real transportation, not the BS about how private industry is always better. you can't really do worse than greyhound

When I was a kid, my grandmother lived in Forest Hills and I lived in Central Jersey. She would take the subway to midtown and get a bus called the Lincoln Limited (Continental Trailways), which took her to East Brunswick where my mom would pick her up. That was before NJ Transit existed. That bus ride always amazed me, so I can't imagine going across the country. Kudos to you guys.

Miles, I did it in the mid 70's on a Greyhound AMERA PASS , or Trailways EAGLE PASS .

I watched Noel Phillips do this same bus ride a few months ago in the opposite direction, I am excited to see if someone actually makes it at all. So far... no.

Many thanks for doing this, and for posting about it, here and on Twitter. The experience of the scenery and the cities was fascinating; I hope to see more of them. The customer "service" from Greyhound was dreadful, and makes entirely clear why they have such a bad reputation, even for me on the other side of the Atlantic.

This was so entertaining. Thanks for doing this.

I’ve been waiting for this one!

That was awful. I feel like I need a shower after watching this.

Loving these videos teaching me things like apparently in the northeast rest stops have like… food and things to buy inside them. I’m used to them being literally toilets and a place to park and stretch your legs

Anybody going on a Greyhound trip is a glutton for punishment lol

It's always a fun trip with Miles and Nathan!

u need to do the chinatown busses next

FL to ND last summer and in 2010 I waited 8 hours in the Denver station (ND to LV same route that you guys took)

Sheldon and Leonard on a cross-country trip

Thank god more miles content

I've taken Greyhound from Seattle to LA and from Florida to Maine. I've done my time.

Miles and Nathan! This is Mr. Landwehr! I am soooooo very proud of you both for living your dreams!

You guys are so cool and always seem to have so much fun together. It's great to see friends like you.

I took a simple bus from NYC to Atlantic City, and it was 4 hours late! 2 other busses to Atlantic City arrived and left, Greyhound's policy is to give a refund after 2 hours, we didn't get any money back, and the people who track the buses say that they couldn't track it 🫠. They also said that it was on the Jersey Turnpike and that it would arrive at 12:30. They said that at 2:30!

Nathan always quacks me up.

this is why i dont even consider greyhound as a form of intercity transportation

One time I saw Nathan in a Whole Foods with his much older girlfriend (or mom?) and it was like a youtube celebrity sighting

In my opinion it's best to do these long for the journey trips for June/July for the extra sunlight.

Your friend's laugh is killer funny!

Hilarious. And vivid action shot of the subway rat.

Greyhound is a trashy bus service.

Great video! I’m so proud of you for having a flip phone lol

This auto-played on my phone while I was looking for my pants. I'm not really sure what it was, but it was entertaining! Plus, I found my pants! Thanks, Miles in Transit!

17:50 Departs minute early, leaves someone behind.... I rest my case!

Come to Ontario and take Ontario Northland all the way to Timmins, (I'd say it's just as bad as greyhound) or even better the polar bear express to Churchill, Manitoba

I give you guys a lot of credit for taking Greyhound long distance. I only took it once five years ago from Baltimore to NYC and while it wasn't terrible but I would not say it was particularly pleasant. Also: Kansas City is usually pretty hopping.... Not sure which 'hood you were in but it deff merits a return visit!

Greyhound is only really good for short distance trips Like maybe a state or 2 but anything more then 3 states and you're gonna find problems

Ha! I''m taking 1683 NYC-LAX on the 30th just to say I did the same thing. Cool lol.

Wow!

17:01 Oh my god that is GORGEOUS. Yeah, that's my biggest takeaway from this. Maybe not the intention, but hey.

travel is a nightmare regardless of mode

This trip is on my to-do list. I'll have to pack a lot of edibles.

Best stop? Out Of Focus, Kansas

This was awesome, I knew you had it in you to take it across America. How did you get the free tickets tho?

The Greyhound Cannonball!

Has there ever been a Metrolink video? I need it!!!

Actually you have it backwards>The City of Los Angeles is approximately 472 square miles in size, with a population of 3,694,820. The City of New York is 304 square miles in size, and has a population of 8,008,278. My trip was even longer I went from San Francisco to Boston, 94 hours long and ten hours late. I flew back to San Francisco.

23:11 You flew American so it's basically the same as a Greyhound.

I was a Greyhound rider across the country for a good solid decade before I got turned on to Amtrak. Interestingly in the years since, Greyhound pulled out of the Chicago to Denver via Omaha route, nixing all service to Iowa and Nebraska, and more recently cut its service between Reno and Salt Lake City. Greyhound will utilize connections with other carriers and even Amtrak to serve these and other areas, but for longer cross-country trips 'The Dog' will route you hundreds of miles out of the way to keep you in the Greyhound system. Try booking a trip online from Sacramento to Salt Lake City, then compare that to a trip booked from Sacramento to Green River, Utah. That Amtrak connection in Reno you would take to get to Salt Lake City also goes to Green River, but Greyhound won't let you use that.

Years later I’m watching this hoping for a Maine greyhound trip to 🤔Vancouver, or la or San Diego? 3:13

@Miles In Transit where did the bus drop you off in Vegas? If you remember.

wow good review of greyhound yes they tend to treat their passagerrs not good and they always late t hats why i quit taking them peace

I did this trip in 2018. I got a $39.75 ticket thanks to a 75% off promotion for Black Friday in 2017.

Damn that amtrack train is fast 😂

How was Metrolink?

How did you get a free ticket?

This trip used to take half a year

Miles where is Riding Almost Every Metrolink Train?

Greyhound long distance buses.. You see some real characters

I love how much you've ridden Greyhound to make it absolutely clear that I never will ever inflict it upon myself, you are doing saintly work!

6:40 Legendary voice crack

Gone to the dogs 😂

I think hitchhiking is vastly more reliable than Greyhound. 😱

I've done atl to Vancouver. 75 hours

OK thanks a lot now I want to take a bus to L.A.

they seriously stopped a bus of adults who paid to be on there because the driver thought someone was vaping? like seriously? this sounds like an elementary school bus. and i'm not even a vape fan

10:31 how did you manage to make a joke about The Last of Us three years in advance?? 😂

Do some adjustments and the cam is upside down lmfao

I must say Nathan is a good looking guy. As for greyhound what a shit service all round. This company would have been shut-down years ago if it was in Australia.

This is why I'm looking into emigrating to Europe somewhere. Somewhere with modern infrastructure that people just expect to work instead of one major political party calling any infrastructure project (EXCEPT roads) as "communism".

Nothing is ever free

You guys sound like brainwashed at the end. I guess the good thing is you racked up some mileage.

You guys want to really push the envelope? Try taking a Greyhound solo across country or even halfway across like NYC to Chicago. I'm not picking on Greyhound because it is not their fault what wild characters take their bus. I saw all kinds of stuff including smelly passengers and what looked like some immigration official check our bus out and weird passengers. It was crazy. Greyhound does the best they can but again they take whoever pays for a ticket.
