Greyhound is not in the business of providing reasonable fares to intercity passengers, though - it's in the business of making money. It can offer more reasonable fares than an airline because its costs are lower. That being said, there are times when the demand is much higher and the cost of providing service (including protection buses) is higher as well. Charging a higher fare at those times does make sense. If passengers want the convenience of just showing up at the bus station and traveling the day before Thanksgiving, for example, they may have to pay a higher fare for that convenience. If they can plan ahead, be flexible and travel at other times when demand is lower, then they will likely save money. |
