The Greyhound Canada experience

AND reporting back.

The ride was not all that bad at all. The Greyhound station at Grand Prairie must've looked fine in 40 odd years ago, but needs renovation/expanding/a cleaning by now.

Boarding was no problem, my luggage was given a nice tag with lots of information and a tear-off stub to ostensibly claim it at the other end - which no-one paid any attention to.... Still, luggage for different stops was stored in different compartments, so you could probably rest easy without worrying about your luggage going walkabout.

The bus was comfortable-ish. Fair recline, no tray tables (pity...) but working wifi and power outlets. Lights were turned off to allow sleeping when dark. On board toilet was reasonably clean. Driver was polite and efficient. 5 hours went by quickly.

SO overall - good ride, would do it again.

ps no, no beheading or cannibalism seen, unless they did so very discreetly.

Would be glad to hear if 5 hours on a Greyhound in Canada is comfortable, OK, or not a good idea....

Thanks
