Editor’s Note: Greyhound is the transportation of last resort for many and cannot be left to profiteers and asset-strippers. A nationalized Greyhound in the manner of – and working with – Amtrak could create a coordinated, extensive, dependable, and affordable alternative to flying and/or driving. And public ownership would make it a lot easier to offer municipal land for stations, and to have public planners included in service decisions. Bus driving could be a career again. Also Amtrak and Greyhound both had package services they recently discontinued which provided a useful alternative to overnight delivery and could be restarted.

A publicly owned intercity bus service with dedicated highway lanes could do for travelers what the US Postal Service does for letters and packages: let them criss-cross the country cheaply and quickly at their own convenience. A full quarter of Greyhound riders have told pollsters that they wouldn’t be able to make some of these trips if the bus wasn’t an option. Right now, that means a lot of people just not having a way to travel.
