What makes Greyhound buses such a convenient travel provider is their unparalleled customer service, easy-to-navigate bus schedules and the Greyhound BusTracker.

The Greyhound BusTracker gives you an up-to-date, real-time status on where your bus is, and compares it to the bus schedule. If there is traffic, unexpected weather conditions or accidents on the road, you’ll be the first to know!

Rewards

As well as using discounts to get the best Greyhound bus ticket prices, you can sign up to the Greyhound buses rewards program; Road Rewards.

Road Rewards works on a points system in order to reward repeat customers. After signing up, you’ll earn 2 points for each round trip you take (or 6 points if you choose the Flexible fare option) then once you hit certain point levels, you unlock new rewards; too easy!

If you accumulate points, you’ll score the following rewards:

The more points you get, the more rewards you’ll accumulate, and points are valid for a whole year.

All you have to do is sign up using the Greyhound Lines online registration form and you’ll start collecting points immediately! You can only start collecting points on new trips, so the sooner you sign up, the better.

Redeem your rewards points online, over the phone (U.S. and Canadian residents only) or in person at a Greyhound station.

👉 Finding your stop

👉 Before your trip

Aim to arrive at your stop at least 20 mins prior to the time your trip is due to depart. Check that your baggage isn’t over limit by reading the baggage allowance guidelines.

Ensure you have your ticket ready when boarding.

👉 On your trip

Most Greyhound bus trips will have at least one rest stop (depending on the length of the trip), where you’ll be able to get out, stretch your legs, use the restroom and/or purchase food and beverages. Remember to bring small change in case the bus stops at a smaller rest stop or store. We also recommend stocking up on supplies before you leave for your trip, as there are no beverages or food options available on the bus itself.

The Greyhound bus drivers go through rigorous training and Greyhound buses are checked regularly and before each trip to ensure safety compliance.
