What's the longest bus journey you've taken?
I'm looking at a 5+ hr journey and wondering what it would be like..

60 hours. New Orleans to Minneapolis. Had a flat somewhere in Missouri, missed a transfer as a result.
5 hours is about my personal limit for driving my car without a stop. You'll have no problem.

In the US the long distance buses are filled with migrants and mentally ill people, too mentally ill to get a driver's license.
Mexico has some real nice buses..

5 days, Detroit to Arizona. Greyhound bus rides are fucking horrible, you get the worst of the worst types that'd get kicked out of Walmart for being too shady and too unbathed.

however long it takes to get from NYC to Washington DC (I don't remember exact time) it wasn't much different from a long cross continental flight. slept some. had a snack, used uncomfortably small bathroom. read for a bit, ignored mid trip movie.
it was a tour bus though, so my experience is not representative of taking something like Grayhound.

Well I've taken a 3hr bus journey and it was absolutely awful. Also I am worried about what type of crowd it will be.. Originally Posted by Valarius

This from the kid making threads cheering on Soros and saying we need to be more compassionate to people. What fucking irony. Originally Posted by Tennisace

Tennisace is a high class, peace and diversity touting saint. He can't possibly be intermingled with these filthy lower class bus people, it's just downright unacceptable. Originally Posted by Damajin

Who says I'm not compassionate? I volunteer helping the less fortunate as well as advocate for better treatment of those in need. Originally Posted by Damajin

I think it was around 19 hours long. With five 5-15 minutes long stops along the way, three of which I slept through. Was horrible.
Trains are so much-much better!

Why do you assume everyone on the bus is trying to steal from you? Since a lot of bus users are low income or even minorities, that seems incredibly classist/racist imo. Originally Posted by Tennisace
