I wonder if he's going to tell you that they're in trouble because the Chinese buses are kicking their ass. Those other buses are the cheapest, best way to get among the cities of the Northeastern megalopolis -- Washington, Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York, Hartford-Springfield, Providence, and Boston. If I were going to New York and didn't need my car while there, I'd probably take one of those buses, since they have big seats and wifi and the round trip is like thirty bucks and you end up in Manhattan rather than a faraway airport.
Based on the communications from their media team over the years, I suspect he is going to say that the fee is to cover credit card fraud and handling. Hope he's got an open mind, because the average Greyhound tix in 2010 cost $48 bucks. The Gift Ticket Fee is $18. You do the math. Shawn
