@@tablescissors67 directly from their drivers. I’m in the same industry but city. They’re treated as totally disposable, not paid enough yet demanding drivers that are seasoned enough to provide high level service. They’re non union as well. Not to mention they’re always hiring which either means that retention is poor or the company is wildly expanding (doubtful, being that I know where their terminal by me is and the fleet size has hardly changed in the past year.) I suppose that it’s an ok place to cut your teeth for regional luxury bus driving but the real career will always be in OTR like with Sam’s Limousine which is a higher tier even than Vonlane

Life long Texan here born and raised and still currently living here and way back in the early 2000s I studied law and legal reasons are the reason why that high speed rail between Dallas and Houston will never happen. The main one is called eminent domain and how it's legally applied and interpreted between the federal, state, and even the different Texas counties is all different. Lastly I would add I have family friends who have taken this service more than once and they all speak highly of it so I might try this one out one day.

I’m not surprised because car ownership is probably extremely high in Texas.

[@onedgurl425]

As someone who took Vonlane countless times between Dallas and Austin in high school and college (divorced parents so usually every other weekend and then college/uni in Atx ) I can say it’s really way easier than driving yourself and flying. Meal wise you didn’t miss out on much- they do salads, wraps, and sandwiches. At some point in the beginning I think it did actually go to downtown Dallas- but most people in Dallas live in the suburbs, especially north side. So not many of the riders like dealing with the unexpected traffic. As far as a train- I honestly don’t even know if many would use that option in Texas- it’s kind of a pride thing to drive.

Hmmm, We went to Las Vegas twice. Nashville, for a weekend. Add to that an 8 day road trip from Vegas to the Grand Canyon, to Sedona, thru the Grand Staicase-Escalante National Monument, to Zion and up to Bryce before heading back to Vegas to fly back to Huntsville, AL. All three of those trip were in 2020 and early 2021. I am immuno compromised and diabetic, mom had major intestinal surgery in late Feb of 2020 and is diabetic as well. Southwest was AMAZING on both trips out and back. On the second trip, they had just started allowing the middle seat to be purchased again, but they let us buy a third seat and reimbursed us both ways because the flights were not booked 100%. I never felt safer, health wise than I did on those COVID trips... No one tried to smash up against us, anywhere. The National Parks and Sedona were at, maybe, 20% of their normal usage, and it was SPECTACULAR not having the hordes of crushing tourists all up your backside, as is the case before and after...

My friend and I stayed downtown htown for a concert and needed a ride to catch the next concert in Dallas. We were not sure whether to book a flight or a bus given flying for about 30 minutes was just a hassle and super expensive compared to a bus! Fortunately I pitched the Vonlane last minute when I was doing some research and thank goodness! Neither of us wanted to get on a Greyhound lol 😅 We took the 10:30am trip and we got a meal besides all the snacks. It was cold lunches, I believe I got some sort of a turkey sandwich and I enjoyed it! If I remember correctly, there was a chicken wrap option as well which my friend took. Overall, both of us did not want to fly nor take a grubby bus but Vonlane was definitely the best choice for us. Clean, provided a meal, snacks, drinks free wifi! For a short 3 hour trip it was perfect !

When I lived in Houston I used this service. It was great especially when I had to go to Austin for work. For those unaware driving to Austin from Houston sucks majorly. As the highway into town abruptly becomes a road with a bunch of red lights quite a distance away from the city. At least it did when I lived there.

I wish they would use more double decker style busses. The top should be the ultimate lounge area. That way they can spread the seats into big sofa style sleepers and have a great view of the roads & stars at night with an glass roof top. I always wanted to take a bus from Seattle to PDX back in my early military days. But there really was only one option at the time and that was the Airport. After 911, I never really bothered. Amtrack Starlight express was fun. But it really is just more convenient to just drive.

I love bus travel but good busses are hard to find. They are mostly local service buses that take you a few hours in multiple directions. Greyhound is in a tough spot as they have to take everybody and can't go luxurious. I'll never forget being on a Greyhound for a cross country run and at one point I think it was an immigration agent boards the bus and walks around and leaves. The luxurious bus you were on was fantastic and I would ride it in a heartbeat. Really nice.

When you really start getting longer distances buses I think trains mostly should replace them. Unless it's a very small destination of course. But between large cities in Texas there should absolutely be a quick and modern train service instead.

Sitting chewing on my nuts...that was funny! The bus/coach looked a far better option than flying. If the train route is built that could be even better. Wonder how much Vonlane ride cost? I guess I can google it. [Looks to be around $80-$120 one way]

not worth it

Just an FYI...Dallas is not 1 hour from DFW. You can be downtown in 20 minutes depending on traffic. And if you fly into Love Field on Southwest, you're landing in Dallas.
