Ride On Bus Schedule

Many people will experience the dubious pleasure of going on a very long bus ride. If you plan ahead and follow this list of helpful tips, you may have a better chance of surviving the trip with your sanity intact.

Seating Plans: How to Find the Perfect Seat on the Greyhound Bus

If you are traveling by yourself, search out an empty row for the maximum traveling comfort (and the most foot room). If you wish to keep your empty row for yourself, here is one tip for the enterprising if slightly ill-mannered traveler: once you have safely stowed your luggage, stretch out on both empty seats and try to take a nap. When the bus pulls into the next loading station, don't get up! Continue to "sleep" as the passengers board. Most people will be unwilling to wake you unless the bus is full and they have no choice. Once everyone has boarded and the bus has pulled away from the stop, you can "wake up" and enjoy your ample (if slightly ill-gotten) space.

Things to Do On the Bus: Practice Your Conversational Skills!

If you are the chatty type and have a seatmate, consider striking up a conversation. This will allow you to polish your conversation skills, possibly make a new friend, and while away the hours. One caveat - play close attention to your seatmate's body language. If she gives one word answers, avoids eye contact or begins to pay close attention to her book or iPod, take heed! This is most likely a sign that she wishes to be left in peace. Those who persist in continuing the conversation will face karmic retribution at a later date, which may very well come in the form of being trapped on the bus with an odorous and ill-mannered seatmate who persists in chatting them up for four hours. In short - only carry on conversation if one's seatmate appears to appreciate it.
