Greyhound Run/Schedule Changes

Remember that Greyhound didn't understand that the feeder routes that lost money got them passengers on the busy routes. 

So when they cancelled the feeder routes it basically killed their business. 

 

Greyhound understood that very well, here in the US, back in the days of ICC regulation.   They were protected against competition on lucrative routes, and in return were required to maintain service on branch or secondary routes.   The main routes cross-subsidized the branch lines.   When regulation ended, fierce competition came from cut-rate new entries, that only wanted to 'cherry-pick' the most lucrative routes.  Hence, service on the branches could not be sustained any longer, without some kind of subsidy.

I agree that no one with any sense would buy the company, except to liquidate it.   The good name it once had has been too tarnished in recent memory to be of much value, and the corporate culture of many of its current employees is certainly not an asset worth inheriting...

Would it be your view that deregulation was a failure?

It all depends on your point of view...

If you are a consumer, only traveling on the heavily serviced corridors with lots of competition...then it is a success.   Lots of option's, and cheap fares.

 

If you are not traveling in those markets, good luck!

If you are an employee, trying to earn a decent wage, with a good retirement, and job security, good luck!

If you are a bus line, that is trying to provide a quality service, without having to cut corner's and remain viable, good luck!

 

So...you tell me...what is your view?

I’m only 30 so a lot had already been killed (some of it ASAP in 1982). However I will say that I have bought old Russels guides and their map supplements and the changes that have gone on through the years are astounding. Some states like Michigan where I drive have been very proactive about having subsidized service. The 5 revived feeder routes we have here are largely the skeletal components of the pre-deregulation system revived based on perceived need with some of the odd stops and snaking back and forth eliminated. 2 of them were casualties of the 1990 Greyhound strike. That kicked off our subsidies actually. 1 was a casualty of the 2003 Greyhound cuts and the other 2 Greyhound simply up and quit one day in 2006 despite being under state contract. 
 

Rarely will I get more than 20-25 passengers a run on mine. It’s relatively easy money. Those main corridor schedules (New York to Boston for example) are probably frequently running pretty heavy. That’s a whole different ball game. 
 

The biggest thing I notice post-deregulation (bought a bunch of before and after 1982 timetables) is the loss of frequency. Where there were 3 or 4 buses on the original routes before abandonment there is only 1 each way now. That results in fewer connections and huge layovers. I’ve seen some as big as 22 hours (!) lately. I think some of this is TRIPS purposely steering passengers to Greyhound and not doing what is best for the passenger. I sincerely think deregulation was a net-negative for the industry and especially the passenger. It’s as if the whole thing needs to be imploded and rebuilt and relaunched and marketed properly as a normal mode of transportation. 
 

Overall I must say that the states are to be applauded for their willingness to step in and revive abandoned routes. The smaller interlining carriers have done quite well picking up the pieces where Greyhound has pulled out. My understanding is that they are quite often able to INCREASE ridership based on far better overall service and performance that what they replaced.

 

Meanwhile:

Schedule 6884 (Los Angeles California to San Francisco California) was discontinued effective February 24.

Back when I started working in the industry, (1968), the Official Bus Guide was almost as thick as the Manhattan telephone directory (something else gone with the wind).   There was at least one scheduled bus on virtually every federal and most major state highways across the country, from coast to coast, and border to border.   To be a Greyhound Lines driver, was considered the very pinnacle of professional driving, and was compensated accordingly.  I worked with  some senior driver's, who started during the pioneering of cross country bus service in the mid 1920's.

Intercity bus travel was a respectable way to go for many, and air travel was just starting to take away the long haul middle and lower class traveler's.  Even some 'glamour', like Five Star Luxury Service, with hostess aboard...   The new turnpikes and interstate highways brought bus travel times equal or faster than streamliner trains in many cases, who by the way, were quickly disappearing.

At one especially strong traffic period, Greyhound was opening a new major terminal a month, nationwide.

The ICC and state commission's, saw to it that fares were 'just' (mileage based, not market based),  good schedule's were maintained, and if business warranted it, a second carrier was allowed to serve a heavy route.

 

Deregulation ended all that...

So overall it sounds like it managed to kill an industry that developed relying on these rules and the status quo at the time? My understanding is that an incredible number of small carriers were casualties within a decade as well, one would think that's the opposite of the intent of deregulation.

Is just me or is Greyhound cutting so many routes that it'll just be small companY

 

Also

Just curious buy how is Trailways doing these years?

Other than a few small Trailways members that interline with Greyhound, trailways is gone. Greyhound bought Continental Trailways (what you probably think of when you think Trailways) in 1987. 
 

Greyhound is cutting runs and stops to appear more profitable than it is while they try to sell it. Incidentally the sale is still ongoing and the talks have not ceased yet but this whole corona virus thing isn’t helping sell anybody on buying a travel company...

Note:  Many of these schedules are likely to return as previously operated.  Most of them are cancelled due to driver shortages and low ridership (this latest round affected direct service to the Atlantic City casinos).

Regrettably, I can't guesstimate when the services would likely return, since the COVID19 spread is somewhat unpredictable.

A good point. Some of those... Detroit to Jacksonville or Kansas City to Dallas let’s say sound more like genuine cuts to me. I’ll be asking around later today but the cuts were abrupt and nearly immediate.

I found this blurb rather interesting:

”Greyhound Lines Inc. said in a statement it is "actively monitoring the status of the coronavirus and will follow the direction of the CDC as it does in all matters of public health." The company has not indicated publicly that it has cut any service yet. 

The American Bus Association, which represents motorcoach and charter bus companies in Washington, said Tuesday the coronavirus pandemic will cost the bus industry dearly. The group said nearly all of the charter and tour market has stopped operating, scheduled intercity service is down by more than half and continues to drop, and local commuter bus markets are down more than 60% as of Monday.

"If, as President Trump recently suggested, the current situation lasts well into the summer, August at the latest, the motorcoach industry will lose nearly $8 billion," the group said. "Further, it is very unlikely the businesses or transportation network will be able to return to pre COVID-19 levels of operation over the next year."

So from what I gathered today asking around it sounds like the non-New York City-New Jersey stuff is pre-planned cuts that were to take place as part of fat trimming for the sale. The mass abandoning of the casino runs sounds like the virus hurting business. Their website still indicates no service disruptions oddly.

I wonder do any of these have to do with COD-V19 or what ever there callimg it now?

I'm wondering how it's effecting Greyhound. I know VIA, not sure abot Amtrack, have cut some schedules(due to virus)and have selected seating now?

Many of the services to casinos and vacation spots are directly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.

The "select" seating...I've not heard about that.   My assumption is making it where buses and trains can't be overbooked.  NYC-TOR runs used to be notorious for that.  Maxxing out at 20 or so passengers should allow gap seating, and maximum width between the passengers, window to window.

I’m going to make it a point to look into max load counts in TRIPS tomorrow. The limit was 50 or 51 depending on the run before all this started. Traffic is down exponentially in the last week. I’m amazed we are still running honestly.

Any reason why Greyhound/ Bolt is still running the Seattle - Vancouver BC route at this time? I thought they were going to cancel the run temporarily. But I've been seeing them depart as usual. My employer stopped our Seattle run on Wednesday because we weren't moving anyone because of COVID 19. Basically Greyhound can only take American citizens going south and Canadians on the trip north to Vancouver.

Looks like Greyhound US and Canada has begun the process of drastic cuts to present service levels.

Didn't notice, however, updated on the bulletins. 

Just caught the schedule for table 170.

The schedule normally cuts across six pages, and is wrapped up into two, as follows:

1:  Cleveland to Buffalo, three trips.
2:  Buffalo to New York City, two trips.
3:  Syracuse to Boston, two trips.

Eliminated cities:  Toronto, Mississauga, Burlington, Grimsby, St Catharines, Niagara Falls, Fort Erie, Geneva, Ithaca, Scranton, Newark.

Also, table 152:

1: New York to Albany, one round trip.

All service to Canada was suspended effective midnight this morning. Connecting carriers are calling it quits as well... Indian Trails is the first or one of the first to pack it in. Effective 630pm today.

Last time I remember the United States did something this drastic was 9-11-2001, due to the attack on our country.

All in all, I think it's necessary.
