Yeah, I’ve been using the bus to visit home for 6ish years now and there’s no consistancy year to year on how it’ll operate. I prefer the train, but there’s only 1 train each way/day and it ends up being a shit deal time-wise for me since the train arrives into the small city in the late evening and leaves early morning. I dream for the day the midwest gets its shit together

I’m firmly in the fuckcars camp and agree with you, I was more wondering why they made that decision. Someone else answered that they don’t want to pay to use the station, so I guess my question to you then is what local municipalities can do to prevent this/promote better intercity travel. Are they able to require the buses to use the station (and pay for it’s use)? I’m worried this coach company would just shut the line down.

I should also note that this is a popular transit route, there is an amtrak train that connects the cities as well, but only one train a day. I take the bus bc the train schedule is a bad deal if you’re visiting the small city (arrive in the evening, depart in the morning). The bus isn’t as popular as the train, so it seems like they’re cutting costs wherever they can.

That makes sense, as much as I hate it. It’s odd though since the route used to be served by a local coach company in partnership with Greyhound and would stop both at the intermodal station in the college town as well as the bus depot in the main city. The new operater is FlixBus, who bought Greyhound and presumably could have used the station/depot if they wanted; they must have been trying to cut costs on the route.

Nope, it’s ridiculous. This route used to be operated by a different company that stopped at both the station and the depot a few miles away in another part of the city, but the new operater stops at neither.

You age proportionally to the plant until the effect is done.

i.e. make a plant that takes 10 days to grow to maturity grow in the span of 2 days, you age 10 days in those 2 days
