but I've gone from DC to NYC by bus. Horrible experience. Took about 10 hours,

Isn't DC-NYC about 4 hours by car?

Something like that. Traffic + lots of stops for food and bathroom breaks. And waiting ages for people that took too long coming back.

Oh yeah, those times seem to be quite.. guide like.. to give you a hint of the minimum time, maybe. I have taken a Greyhound once in my life and it truly sucked majorly.

The breaks took forever, and once the driver disappeared, he went eating FOREVER. Then we had to go through a military base, and that took FOREVER. etc etc etc... and they go to all those small stops, because people might come aboard..

if comfort and time is of ANY value... don't take that one.

I'd go with the hitchhiking. IOW, I'm never taking the bus again

I have taken 6 trips now of more than 10 hours on the greyhound.

It's a good way to get to where you are going if you have the time to spare.

Amtrack is a pain to get from Vancouver to Seattle, but easy from Seattle to Texas

Yeah.. when you hitchhike, you can have experiences you couldn't get any other way:

Because it goes without saying that we can't turn him loose. He'd report us at once to some kind of outback Nazi law enforcement agency, and they'll run us down like dogs...

Jesus! Did I say that?

Or just think it? Was I talking?
Did they hear me?



It's okay. He's admiring the shape of your skull.........

If it's cheaper and you can stand it, then go with the bus. If it was me, I might consider a bus from Vancouver to Seattle and then take the train the rest of the way.

For my aforementioned trips from DC to NYC, iirc, the train cost $10 more and took 1/3rd the time.

[Pekka]

RIght and consider the fact that train is more .. accurate than the bus.. the bus can basically have problems or what ever and it takes more and more time. And the more time you are on the road, it's time wasted and maybe you eat in between or buy food or sometihng, that costs 'extra' so sometimes making it faster is worth it.

[Mrs. Tuberski]

from that text men folks are having sex??

[Pekka]

I don't know what Diss is reading. Mine was from Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. There's a hitchhiker in it.

[Mrs. Tuberski]

i think bens i dea was to travel and see some of the us
not just get form point a to point b

[Pekka]

And bus helps you better than train in what way? You see the same stuff but slower?

The bus has a schedule as well. It's not like you make lots of stops in good spots or anything like that. It just takes longer and is more uncomfortable than train.

IF you want to see US in a way where you can kind of check out what's in between the points, then one must take a car and drive.
