www.photosfromonhigh.com DALLAS, April 7 /PRNewswire/ -- In its continued commitment to offering the best in leisure bus travel, Greyhound Lines, Inc., the largest North American provider of intercity bus transportation, today began unveiling its fleet of new buses designed to offer a more comfortable riding experience. The first of the 102 re-designed buses debuted on the company's New York to Montreal and New York to Toronto routes, with additional buses slated to begin appearing on the New York to Boston route by mid-April. Over time, Greyhound will replace the entire nationwide fleet. "More than an updated paint job, our new buses offer a truly upgraded experience for customers and a new way to sit back and experience the open road," said Dave Leach, president and chief executive officer, Greyhound Lines, Inc. "As the industry leader, Greyhound sets the bar for what bus travel should aspire to be, continuously evolving and innovating to offer the very best service."
The new buses will feature a sleek exterior of strong blue and premium silver colors, highlighting a new Greyhound logo. Inside, passengers will be delighted with the vast upgrades and amenities available onboard including extra legroom, free Wi-Fi access, power outlets and three-point seat belts.

Greyhound first ordered 33 Prevost X3-45 buses for its BoltBus service last year. The X3-45 is a high-end model in the Prevost line, similar to those used by entertainers and celebrities. The bus, which seats 50 passengers, provides Greyhound with the most environmentally friendly vehicle on the road, along with the comfort of a smooth ride.
The Golden Age of Bus Travel, Today

For nearly a century, Greyhound has been an American icon, providing safe, enjoyable and affordable travel to nearly 25 million passengers each year. To take the brand into the next century of service, Greyhound worked with its advertising agency of record, San Francisco Bay Area-based firm Butler, Shine, Stern and Partners (BSSP), to develop the new design.

Inspiration for the new bus design started with a look back at Greyhound's rich and recognizable design heritage from the early and mid-20th century, when the brand's signature colors and running dog were first introduced to underscore the adventure, luxury and efficiency of leisure bus travel. This "Golden Age of Bus Travel" era provided a launch point for not only updating the color palette and logo to modern tastes, but also improving the onboard amenities as well.
"Our iconic running dog is one of the most-recognized brands in the world," noted Leach. "With these new innovations, we are poised to strengthen the Greyhound brand in the minds of current customers, as well as introduce the convenience of bus travel to a new generation of passengers."
Continued Commitment to Innovation

The bus re-design is part of an on-going effort by Greyhound to improve the travel experience and modernize its service offerings. In 2005, it began a three-year $60 million initiative to enhance its buses, terminals and services from coast-to-coast. Greyhound upgraded its 125 facilities with new signage, fresh paint, renovated restroom facilities, plasma screen televisions and other improvements.
Over the next five years, Greyhound will continue to invest in the new fleet, with even more terminal upgrades and new driver uniforms, which will reflect the company's new brand identity. For more information about the new buses, visit www.greyhound.com.

..National Antique Show (2013)..

I am the organizer for the upcoming “Ghosts of Highway 61-Dixie Tour 2013” National Antique bus show – to be held at the restored former Greyhound terminal in Blytheville, Arkansas April 4-6, 2013. I recently became aware of a most unusual historic vehicle that I feel would be an outstanding display at the event.

Chuck Conrad of the Chalk Hill Media Museum located in Kilgore, Texas, has restored a rather amazing and truly rare vehicle. A 1949 Flxible DuMont Television “Telecruiser” (Model B, Number 101). This coach was sold new to KBTV Dallas channel 8 TV and was one of the very first mobile TV production vehicles ever built.  When new, it was outfitted with state-of-the-art broadcasting equipment of the time. This is believed to be the last survivor of twelve ever produced.

This Telecruiser is believed to have been used during part of ABC TV/WFAA coverage of the Kennedy assassination in Dallas.

Chuck has a large collection of vintage TV broadcasting equipment (cameras, etc.) that would make a very interesting display to accompany the Telecruiser coach.

Due to the untested reliability of the original Buick straight eight engine, Chuck feels more comfortable if the Telecruiser is treated as a static display. Therefore, it is necessary to transport the Telecruiser to events by truck. Chuck Conrad is the founder and President of Chalk Hill Educational Media, Inc., a not for profit 501 (c) (3) corporation museum established in 2000. Due to the limited financial resources of the group, we are asking for help from bus enthusiasts like YOU !

To donate please visit the Telecruiser website. Also see  fascinating history, archival photos, and cool  facts:

....LifeStyles by Alpha Women....

 So many truckers and bikers stop at coffee spots, truck stops, donut shops, gas stations and they are often chatting with the waitresses, clerks or fellow truckers and bikers. I was disappointed many times, when in a group of non truckers or non bikers and because they do not know that I am one, they say judgmental remarks about 'our breed'. Yes, I call us a breed, a breed of people who do not limit ourselves to the boring lifestyles, those of us who take an adventurous, exciting approach to living life as a trucker or/and a biker.

 I rode a Greyhound Bus with these two drivers and they were very friendly and impressed with me being enroute to a trucking academy. They admire the many females who drive Greyhound buses. I admire them also.

Greyhound Bus in Prince George

 

Greyhound Looking to Dramatically Reduce Service in Prince George, B.C.

Tuesday, October 16, 2012 - 4:14 PM

Prince George, BC

Greyhound has proposed significantly reduced service around Prince George, and the city is not happy about it.
The bus company is looking to cut down their service to Prince George from 7 days a week to just one.
The company has noted that Northern Health's bus service for healthcare patients is taking away customers from them.
Mayor Shari Green has written a letter to the BC Passenger Transit Board.
"What my letter to the Passenger Transit Board says is work with the premier, work with the MLAs responsible, the ministers responsible for health, to figure out what the real crucks of the issue here is between these busing services. So get the right people in the room, figure it out, and I don't belive that they'll need to have a reduction in services as a result."
Green says Greyhound reducing service is an unacceptable option, as there's recommendations coming from the Highway of Tears symposium that talks about how critical it is to have a safe transit route along the Highway 16 corridor.
She says the transit board has now put an extension to the deadline for people to make written submissions to them, but they do charge a 50 dollar fee.
