Ok , they're buying new buses. But it doesn't change the fact that
most of the romance or whatever you want to call it associated with
Greyhound is down to the countryside of the USA they drive through,
not the buses themselves. Here its just another bus operator. But
perhaps I'm just being cynical.


No, true. Ours will never be iconic.


Calling them Greyhound will encourage American tourists to use them, and
won't deter anyone else. It's a smart move IMO.
