Against the horrible stories I've read on this sub, I just booked my first greyhound.

My car is currently out of commission, and I have no way of seeing my step-dad on his birthday next weekend. Just bringing me, myself, and a bag of clothes to change in.

Rural newyork to west MD. Usually a 5 hour trip is now minimum 15:45 hours with 2 transfers. For only $104 what's the worst that can happen? /s

Really though, any tips besides not taking greyhound in general? I booked the trip 2 days ahead and will stay with a friend, I've read about the insane delays that can take place.

Would really appreciate it!
