Greyhound bus stations closing around the nation
While air travel is by far the most common way to get around, 16 million Americans ride Greyhound buses every year all across the country. But the Greyhound station in Dallas, Texas, like several others, will be closing its doors for good in October.
What's happening in Dallas is indicative of a trend nationwide: intercity bus stations like Greyhound closing or downsizing because they can't afford the space they're in. In some cases, the closures leave travelers to wait in parking lots or street corners for their next bus ride.

The Greyhound Corporation has been around well over 100 years. They've made lots of money. So why don't they own their terminals? 🤔
As a Navy veteran who served in San Diego - and had/has family in Los Angeles, Greyhound is a part of my story. My history. As a young man, newly relocated to Southern California for the Navy and not owning a car; Greyhound allowed me to escape to LA on the weekend to spend with my Aunt, Uncles and cousins. It was part of my “in-port, weekend routine” to take the bus and sit and relax for the journey while listening to my CDs as MP3s, iPhones Spotify and all of that didn’t exist. There was always a sense of concern and alert at the LA station on Alameida street, but nothing ever happened and Aunt Ruth always showed up to pick me up and it would be the start of a nice weekend!! These weekend excursions started in 1999. I was 19 years old. 43 now, - and greyhound isn’t an option I even consider these days with air and rail options almost everywhere. The dilapidated stations, lack of customer creature comforts etc leaves indelible marks on those who use the service.

a lot of people like to fly, but for budgets you may have a very big taxi ride before uber and even when uber and lyft came around, it can still be pricey to be 30 45 minutes away from the actual downtown in that big city that you might want to visit. I used to take greyhound a lot and Amtrak a few times. you are right about the customer service. at one station in Columbus Ohio i overjeard a customer say how sxomeone got rfobbed and shot while in the bathroom at greyhound. I remember the saint louis mo station being rough and a almost fight in the line in Indianapolis once. the bus driver had toi get some people who got out of some program wsith prison or something in Illinois somewhere and they were wanting to fight eachother. a woman at the Cincinatti Ohio greyhound station was nice and gave me ice for my bottled soda even though I didn't buy an iced drink they had. some little cafe thing they had. in New York City I saw a woman get slapped by a woman for making her mad in line. New York City was something else. people sleeping on teps and over 80 something gates. I think 86. a guy begged for money and someone saw him as a scammer in line and made him give the money back to the people. I almost didn't make it to Boston that night. everything was oversold for hours. they let me go through and get on. what I liked about greyhound at a lot of places, was that many things that I wanted to do, I could walk not far or catch a city bus or rail line to get to it if it was further.

Encouraging African-Americans to consider withholding their votes in presidential elections until reparations are received is a powerful and thought-provoking idea. "Let us recognize the incredible strength and influence of our collective voice. For centuries, African-Americans have fought tirelessly for justice, equality, and recognition of our fundamental rights. Today, we stand at a critical juncture in our history, where we have the opportunity to demand the acknowledgment of past injustices and the implementation of long-overdue reparations. By exercising our right to vote strategically, we can send a resounding message to the nation and the world: that we refuse to accept the status quo any longer. We can use our voting power as a tool for change, insisting that our political leaders prioritize the issue of reparations. Our unity and determination can compel those in power to address the legacy of slavery, segregation, and systemic racism that continues to impact our communities today. Imagine the impact of millions of African-Americans coming together to demand reparations as a prerequisite for our support in presidential elections. Our collective stance would reverberate across the political landscape, igniting conversations, debates, and, ultimately, action. By leveraging our voting power in this way, we can demonstrate that we will no longer settle for empty promises or superficial gestures. Let us remember the trailblazers and activists who paved the way for our rights and opportunities. Let us honor their legacy by using our votes as a force for change, a demand for justice, and a catalyst for progress. Together, we can inspire a new chapter in our nation's history, one that acknowledges the painful truths of our past and paves the way for a more equitable and inclusive future. Our decision to withhold our votes until reparations are addressed is a declaration of our worth, our dignity, and our unwavering commitment to a fair and just society. It is a call to action, a rallying cry for accountability and reparative justice. Let us stand together, empowered by our history and driven by our vision for a better tomorrow. Our votes are not just ballots; they are instruments of change, and we will use them to shape a future that reflects our values, respects our experiences, and honors our resilience."copy paste and share.

Greyhound used to own its stations. However, two years ago its former parent company, First Group, sold the operations to Flixbus, the current owner of Greyhound. Unfortunately, this sale did not include the ownership of the stations. Instead, First Group sold the stations separately to various investment firms to make more money, and that's why we are in this predicament nationwide.

If you are in a "relatively large" metro area, please explain how "greed" would cause a Greyhound terminal to close.

Here in Los Angeles, the Greyhound Bus Station has now moved from it's not so great location in Downtown LA right over to Union Station, which was just five minutes away so, now we have the trains and the busses together at the same terminal. This also makes it perfect for parking in the underground structure, something Greyhound didn't have before. European bus line FlixBus has also joined forces with Greyhound by acquiring the American bus line brand in 2023. I took this bus to Arizona in August of last year because the rail track in and around the Palm Springs area was damaged for a week or so after the storms hit bad out there in the desert. Not only was the Flixbus fine and arrived on time, but it was roomier and you can buy the seat next to you for half price if available, and the bus wasn't expected to be full at any of the stops. I was able to and did so, it was great to have all that extra space for just a few dollars more. It's a good deal. I like a bus moving at a good pace on the road with me not having to drive. The stops are quick and efficient, no bother. I keep myself busy with plenty to do. The ride was only 6 hours to my destination, and it went by fairly fast. I'd take a bus again, no hesitation !

That's good to know. I remember years ago when I had to take a Bolt or Greyhound from Barstow to the Greyhound location near Skid row. I would have to walk thru that neighborhood to get to Union Station where I would catch a Megabus to San Francisco. I made that trip multiple times. The next time I'm back home in Barstow, it's good to know I can catch a Greyhound to Union. But I don't think I can use Megabus anymore, but I still can take a train to SF
On the trucker CB radio, Greyhound is known as Crackhound.
IIRC the Dallas depot is one of the nationwide hubs. Kind of a big deal.
I've used the Bus three times in my life don't like it but people need it it's a necessity
I'm a retired trucker. I've refered to Greyhound as the Grey dog for years. It's been so long since I had to ride on one, I just knew I'd rather drive 1500 miles without a break or walk than ride the dreaded grey dog. Horrible buses, horrible company. And now this. Just another sign of how our country has come to its end.
Stamford’s downtown location closed in 2020 and reopened briefly in 2021 but now it’s closed for good.
Wow. Greyhound had been a critical part of many of our life stories from work to migrating to new lives. I never thought i'd see the day I outlive Greyhound. Greed is just ruining everything.

Closing stations downtown has been happening for a long time. I was in Baltimore in 2003 when they announced closing that location. It has to do with moving certain types of people from those locations. It's like closing a homeless shelter, which have been happening as well. They just don't want certain types downtown.

All they have to do is partner with 24-hour gas stations all over the US. They don't need those large bus stops. Buy tickets online. This will help gas stations make more food/drink sales and can all be located along interstate highways. Stop overcomplicating life.
I was a lifetime Greyhound customer until Greyhound decided to close their terminals. There are several possible reasons why Greyhound has decided to close their bus stations/depots/shelters. Greyhound is no longer owned and operated by an American company, I believe it is a French company that owns it now. Here in NYC, there are cheap bus companies that offer cheap tickets, but horrible service and even scarier driving that popped up here to compete against Greyhound. Those companies do not operate out of our bus depot the Port Authority, the bus picks you up on the side of the road where there is no shelter. Greyhound probably adopted the same business model ( why spend money on bus shelters when the passengers don’t care anymore about shelters). All of the above reasons are why I travel by Amtrak as much as possible now. They have great sales and service now.
If the local governments can own the airports in every major city, why can't they also own the bus terminals and rent them to Greyhound for $1/year as a public service. The public needs long distance bus service just as much as they need air travel and it shouldn't be held randsom by private equity corporations.
the end of a empire...looking at old videos of the USA in the 1950's amazing how clean and sharp everyone was dressed....
Our greyhound station moved several times, each one worse. They finally closed one beside a laundromat.
I'm in a different situation I assume but now that Greyhound picks up near the McCarran airport in Vegas and can drop me off at Union station in LA, it's way more convenient than the older ran down inconvenient downtown Greyhound stations they used to use. Standing on a corner with luggage in skid row for an hour plus waiting for the bus lines to start running for the day after getting off the Greyhound red eye so I can get to the metro station to hop on the train home was loads of fun. It's always very cold at those times too.

Most of the times I have used Greyhound, the common things were, bus seats that were made for tiny people, rude drivers(One driver accused me of smoking in the restroom and didn't apologize when it turned out not to be true. I was never a smoker. ), stations with lousy food and uncomfortable seating while waiting for a connecting bus. The police asked me if they could search my bag for drugs one time in Baltimore. After I gave them permission I asked myself why did I agree to that?
This is completely stupid, and what happens when private equity companies take over companies and cut services so a stockholder can get a dividend. Other countries like Japan, China, and Britain, among others, don't have this problem because they see it as public service and not a money-making adventure. I was stationed in Japan for 7 years, and you could get anywhere on public transportation.
Put the terminal outside of downtown.

They shouldn't close down they should revamp, remodel and market more.
When I was young I used greyhound to go from Detroit to Ann Arbor when my older sister attended UofM and other cities here in the Midwest that was back when they had seats with 📺 and you put coins to watch while waiting… ours was right downtown in a VERY convenient location before it was moved just outside the downtown area to a brand new smaller location
The Chinese buses are taking over. Cheaper, faster commute and comfortable seating.

Greed is squeezing out the middle class and down. I've ridden the Greyhound going back to the mid 60s as a kid (Oklahoma to NH) and as an adult. It's getting to where a large amount of regular people can't afford to live in the US anymore. That's why I moved to the Philippines where public transportation is plentiful, everywhere and economical.
I think the one Greyhound experience that solidified what it was to me, was the presence of Amish people at the local University hospital. While I don't think healthcare is a universal right, as that necessitates forced labor, gaining physical or geographic access to medicine might be a hurdle we all as humans can work to lessen the cost of.
I did greyhound couple months ago cross country......what a joke and the Chicago station needs to close and fire all of there employees 🤬
And where are the pimps going to recruit at?
i get my ticket online and wait outside like a real bus
The couple seems mismatched for some reason
People need to contact Pete Butigieg at the Federal Department of Transportation.
Used to take greyhound in NY to and from college. It was always a miserable, unorganized experience. Greyhound has never cared about its customers
