Bus Companies Say There's a Better Way to Take a 'Great American Road Trip' This Summer - Streetsblog USA

"Having a personal vehicle these days, is a luxury for a lot of people, and inter-city bus is a much more affordable form of transportation. What we really pride ourselves on is our ability to provide service to the under-connected, [like] folks who live in rural towns and small cities. And we're really excited to be helping these people access America 250 celebrations."

"Greyhound and Flix point out that millions of Americans don't, can't afford, choose not to or are physically unable to take a 'Great American Road Trip' via car - including many of the 66 million Americans who live in rural areas poorly served by rail and air travel. No real celebration of our nation would be complete if those people can't participate."

Greyhound Bus and its parent company Flix are promoting inter-city bus travel as an accessible transportation option for Americans celebrating the nation's 250th birthday. While Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy encouraged road trips via personal vehicles, Greyhound highlights that millions of Americans lack access to cars, including 66 million rural residents underserved by rail and air travel. The company emphasizes that personal vehicle ownership represents a luxury for many, making affordable inter-city bus service essential for inclusive participation in America 250 events. Greyhound reports steady ridership growth across 1,800 destinations and has modernized its services to provide comfortable, reliable transportation for underconnected communities.
