    seemed cool, and for $185 from Pontiac to Chicago didnt seem crazy, but the 29 hours did. fuck that.

    I'd rather do the 3.5 hour (or better) drive.

    That is the biggest problem with buses, it takes soooooo long.
    I tried it once, never again. Much easier to do a one-way car rental.

    The second problem is, they put those bus stations in the most horrible
    places they can find! The buses tend to have a certain "clientele" as well.

    3/4 of the problem with
    (certain "clientele" )
    is Greyhound and the shit show they have let it become ....
    100 % of our fleet is less than 5 years old ... and it stays that way ... the coaches are cleaned daily ... compared to the ( dog ) and their ( roach ) coaches ...

    As an Owosso native, I feel like I should say something about Indian Trails.

    Where are you getting 20 hours? It looks like about 7 with the time change.

    Honestly this doesn't seem like a bad deal. $260 round trip for two. If you stay at a decent hotel downtown, it will cost you that to park for 5 days anyways. Plus, if you need a car while you do Chicago, you are doing it wrong.
