What is so dangerous about Greyhound Buses?

Question

I'm planning a trip and I can't drive so people ask me how I'm getting there and I tell them I'm planning on taking a Greyhound bus. And everyone keeps telling me their really dangerous but I can't imagine why because their really popular. So what makes Greyhounds so dangerous?

Answer 1

Greyhound Buses are not dangerous. they are comfortable l know cause l been on them.

Answer 2

No clue.  I think they are as dangerous as going to take the trash out in your backyard...who knows whose out there.  I personally took the Greyhound from Ohio to Vegas a few years ago, and met some really cool people.  The only thing that made me nervous is a few of the bus stations during a layover, but that is more cause I'm a girl, and I was traveling alone.  It's not very comfortable if you are on for a long period of time, but no different from driving in a car, being cramped a bit.  Just take along a good book or an ipod, and you'll be fine.

Answer 3

A bus driver was murdered, by a passenger.  

If you notice, on the bus, there is now a plastic shield, between the bus driver and passenger.

Due to the incident, a passenger can no longer take the seat directly behind the bus driver.

I'm not 100% sure, but, I think other bus lines also implemented the same procedure for driver and passenger.

There may have been more than one murder on Greyhound and other buses.

I was on a bus to Reno one time and this real old guy was sleeping, he must of had a dream or something. Suddenly he jumps up and starts beating on the guy across the aisle. It was late at night and most people were just dozing off when this guy just goes berzerk for no reason! The other guy was just sitting there minding his own business and didnt know the old guy at all! The bus driver finaly stops the bus and breaks up the fight! The old guy gets booted off at the next stop! Ya never know who your gonna meet!
