Greyhound buses are STILL running across America, and their history is more surprising than you might think! 🚌

In this episode of MX3 Podcast, we explore the rise of Greyhound Bus Lines, from its humble beginnings in 1914 with 15-cent rides to becoming one of America's most recognizable transportation companies.

We discuss how bus travel competed with railroads, the impact of the interstate highway system, Greyhound's labor strikes and bankruptcy, the introduction of modern conveniences, and why people still choose buses over driving or flying.

We also examine a surprising fare we found for a trip from Oklahoma City to Dallas and ask whether bus travel might actually be a smarter financial choice for some travelers.
