I avoid drinking too much water or soda when I'm on the bus, and I only eat light snacks until I get to a station or my destination. The bathrooms at Greyhound bus stations vary from station to station, but even the gross ones usually have one decent stall or at least some paper towels that you use to do some quick toilet-seat-cleaning before you go. Don't leave your carry-on on the bus when you get off. Keep your most important possessions with you at all times. One of the most common crimes that occurs on Greyhound busses is the theft of carry-on bags that people leave sitting around when they walk off to do something else.
Always keep your carry on bag with you! Even if you are just going to walk around the corner and come back, take your bag with you. It only takes a few seconds for someone who has been scoping you out to snatch up your bag and run off with it. When you are traveling and the bus stops for breaks, I recommend taking your carry on bag off the bus with you. I know it's a pain, but it's less of a pain than having your bag stolen.
One of the reasons I always use a backpack as my carry-on bag is because it's so easy to carry around with me. I just sling it on my back and I'm off! When the bus stops for food and bathroom breaks, the driver will typically give you some instructions about:. Listen to these instructions and follow them! I've seen at least a half-dozen people get kicked off the bus for not following instructions.
I've also seen the bus leave people who didn't come back from a break on time. You don't want to be stranded in the middle of nowhere and have to wait 12 hours or more for the next bus to come through and pick you up, so follow all of the driver's rules and instructions.
They exist for a reason. Keep your ticket on you at all times. Losing it could mean losing your ride! This may seem like common sense, but after a few trips on Greyhound, you will realize how often people lose or misplace their tickets. It's always an ordeal for them to get back on the bus, and in some cases, they even have to buy a new ticket. If someone were to steal your ticket, they could use it in your place and you would be left stranded.
I keep my ticket in my pants' front pocket and I check it often to make sure it's still there. There will be times during your Greyhound trip when you have to exit a bus for it to be serviced or cleaned. The driver will give you a reboarding pass so you can get back on that same bus before any new passengers when it's ready to depart again. Don't throw this re-boarding pass away! If you lose this pass, you may have trouble getting back on the bus. And if you can convince the driver to let you back on the bus, it will probably be after everyone else is already has already boarded, and you may have lost your seat.
Be sure to keep up with any and all reboarding passes you are given throughout your Greyhound bus trip. If you have questions, concerns, or security issues at any time during your trip, ask the nearest Greyhound employee you can find. Even if it's not their department, they can point you in the right direction so you can get your issue resolved.
Greyhound gets a lot of bad press about its employees and its customer service, but I've found that the majority of the time, I am able to get the help that I need. I've only run across one or two employees who downright refused to help, and in those cases, I just asked another employee and quickly got the information I needed.
Bus drivers are a great source of information since they typically drive the same route every day. They have probably heard any questions you can think to ask times over, so they will definitely be able to help you. Fellow passengers are a good source of information as well.
If you can't find a Greyhound employee, try asking someone around you that looks well-traveled. Go Greyhound! Search Driver Jobs Apply Now. We set the standard for superior service and careers.
