Amtrak I could believe. But Greyhound? I put somebody on a "Northeast Corridor" Greyhound bus late last year around Thanksgiving because Amtrak was crazy expensive. But Greyhound seemed darn cheap -- like $20 to go 150 miles on a peak travel day. Not sure what happens if you leave the I-95 corridor, though.
