HEY- glad to hear you landed without any major incident OldCar! ~Hic Manebimus Optime~ |

OK, since they might have dogs i guess there will be no THC candy, because fuck getting arrested in nebraska for having weed candy..forgot how a lot of the other states are retarded with their weed laws. oh yeah btw thats why i avoid those states for the most part. my whole life ive gotten away with smoking spliffs in public. why live in the south and get mauled by a police dog for having some rolling papers on me? no thanks! so yeah ok no weed. and btw, that AC who keeps complaining that i baned him from posting... well just suss that out foe a sec, if i did, how would they be posting? you guys...... ~Hic Manebimus Optime~ |

User ID: 78382070 United States 03/11/2021 03:27 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Rode from Seattle to New Orleans in the 90s. It was hellish. Sleep isn't really sleep. Hours drag by like days. Packed in like sardines and shuffled from one can to the other every 8 hours or so. There's always at least one crying baby. They'll get you where you need to go, but there's a reason it's the cheapest mode of travel. I took a train from L.A. to Miami once and it was the polar opposite. Great experience. I did it. I did it on purpose. And I'll do it again. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 79397951 Singapore 03/13/2021 11:55 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | When I was about 14 I rode the bus from Detroit to Cincinnati to visit my older sister who was living there with her graduate school husband. The bus was actually very cool as it had that window bubble up top and sometimes I got to sit up there. The bus broke down in the middle of nowhere at night and the driver went to get help. So there I was sitting all alone in a bus full of people not my race. This was back in the day of all the riots too. Anyway a nice older lady just ahead of me must have noticed I was anxious and said "Don't worry honey, we are not going to hurt you". I appreciated that. Why did she call you honey? It doesn't tally with your nick wich says "Pete"... |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 80065655 United States 03/14/2021 02:21 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I took a greyhound bus from WA State to Minnesota for summer camp once, with an 8 hour layover in Minnesota before my next bus to my destination there, but that was nearly 30 years ago. Took it back home also. Had a guy dump half a jar of salsa on me. Best to take a window seat if you can, so you don't have people climbing over you and dumping things on you when they get in the overhead carry on storage. Also avoid sitting near the toilet. On one leg, with a whole busload of people, we all were singing songs together and telling stories. It was kinda cool. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 80065655 United States 03/14/2021 03:09 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | its not the only option but im terrified of planes and im buying a car back there cos all the ones around here are shit. Quoting: Plato II Wait.....so, you are going there pick up a car and drive it back? Not saying I wouldn't rather drive my own vehicle, but you could just pay someone to drive it to you and require they log it and have full coverage, then pay for their ride back. or something like this.

User ID: 58764868 United States 03/14/2021 03:20 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | hi everyone. i am potentially going to be taking a bus from northern california to boston, some time from april to early june. one plus side to the pandemic is, i wont have to sit next to some sweaty fat person, or a drunk crazy person... because of social distance. Quoting: Plato II im pissed i wont be abe to smoke weed for 4 days so i plan to pack a bunch of THC gummies in my carry on, and probably some valerian capsules to help with sleep. ive taken a greyhound across a ew states before but it was nothing compared to what this trip will be. we're talking 4 days, possibly 5 if the layovers/ transfers take longer(which they will). if anyone has done this; gone across country in a bus.... what should i expect? any advice is highly appreciated! im kinda worried about it but i have a lot of good things waiting back in boston that i need to get to. LAST TIME i took a greyhound which was years ago before the usa went to shit it sucked , and we had to stop in the middle of night somewhere cuz a man started getting naked on the bus it was near a military base somewhere , and the drive told him get off as he called military cops the guy was outside the bus running around naked yea no |

Yeah I’ve done it when I was 16. Do yourself a favor keep a fucking knife or gun on you if possible. They stop at these trail ways stops usually in pretty rough areas and kick you off the bus while the driver rests or changes to another bus. im the new cancer. |
