MagpieblogNationalizing and expanding Greyhound is a good idea, especially given that the alternative is letting private equity destroy what's left of that bus system. I'd suggest that all interstate bus lines be folded into the nationalized Greyhound to keep private operators from skimming off the most profitable lines, and the nationalized bus system should be aligned with an expanded Amtrak passenger rail system.

Here's an idea... _________________ A publicly owned intercity bus service with dedicated highway lanes could do for travelers what the US Postal Service does for letters and packages: let them criss-cross the country cheaply and quickly at their own convenience. This would be *very* good for the climate — buses are one of the least emission-heavy forms of practical intercity travel — and the buses would effectively advertise themselves: individual motorists, watching buses zoom by them, will soon realize that if you want to get somewhere fast, the bus is the way to go. _________________ FULL STORY -- https://jacobin.com/2023/12/nationalize-greyhound-infrastructure-transportation-inequality-air-travel
