u/Cvilledog

We've taken Greyhound a bit in the past and, now that Amtrak has cut the morning train, we've been going again. The most recent ride from C'ville to DC went as follows:

As the bus entered DC, a passenger starting using his cell phone on speaker. The driver started screaming at the passenger to turn off the speaker. She threatened to put the guy off on a bridge, to which he responded "shut the fuck up." That led her to stop the bus in one of the tunnels to scream at him. Then she threatened to skip Union Station entirely and go on to Baltimore. The passenger turned the phone off and, after a bit more yelling at him, she started driving again but she pulled over a few blocks from Union Station and kicked everyone off the bus onto the sidewalk, leaving them to walk to the station with their luggage. Who knows where she went after that.

Previous rides have involved the driver in DC who asked for suggestions on how to get to Charlottesville and the driver who had to turn around on I-95 because he usually drives the Richmond route and forgot where he was going.

What are your stories?

The ramp up to Rio Rd from 29S is partially blocked due to a wreck. I can’t explain it, but it appears a car somehow flipped and ended up on its side on top of the parked cars at the top of the embankment in the colonial lot. There are firetrucks from Seminole Trail, VFD and a whole bunch of guys in high viz vests standing at the embankment, looking at the car.
