Agreed. I made the mistake of trying Greyhound once. Never, ever again. Out of curiosity I priced out Lux Bus for an upcoming trip and it returned the $99 per person round trip fare that is advertised. Not a horrible deal for those who aren't up for driving, IMO, but the limited schedule is a drawback.
