My fondest memory of crossing over the border from Montreal on a Greyhound into the US was being at the customs building and some young college kid for some reason owed $10 (American Dollars) for some reason to the CBP. He was Canadian and only had Canadian cash on him and they didn't accept Canadian Dollars and there was no ATM or exchange for him within the CBP building. So we all heard the border guard tell him to basically go beg the other Greyhound riders for $10 to be able to cross into the USA. So he went and started asking people like a sad beggar. I gave him a crisp Alexander Hamilton since if I was in that situation, I'd hope someone would do the same for me. On the bus later, he gave me $20 (Canadian Dollars) and I was thrilled due to the fact that I made like $6 or $7 (American Dollars), due to the exchange rate, by being considerate to a fellow rider.

I rode greyhound a lot over the years, I remember the first time Pittsburgh to Atlanta in 1971. The lights looked so beautiful at night going through different towns and cities. Haven't rode one since about 92. The drivers were always courteous, I hear that's not the case now! Not easy to sleep, but I liked to sit in the back and sip on a pint of whiskey!

I'm taking an overnight trip next weekend San Antonio TX-New Orleans LA for a Cruise......It wasn't my first choice, I was hoping to fly the night before, but Taylor Swift is playing at the Superdome that same weekend so hotel rooms were RIDICULOUSLY expensive, and really didn't want to get up at 3am the day of and take a 5:30am flight (Which also wasn't super cheap either....Probably high demand that weekend) so I (Reluctantly) decided to pay the $80 for Greyhound. I've taken overnights before, and after popping some Melatonin, can manage at least some decent power naps throughout the night...At least enough to get me through the day. Haven't rode Greyhound in like 10-12 years so it should be interesting....But at least I am flying back to SA after spending a few days in NO post Cruise

White River Junction served as the location for the filming of director D.W. Griffith's 1920 silent romantic drama film Way Down East, in part filmed on the Connecticut and White Rivers, starring Lillian Gish and Richard Barthelmess. It is an adaptation of the melodramatic 19th century play of the same name by Lottie Blair Parker. Way Down East is the fourth-highest grossing silent film in cinema history, taking in more than 4.5 million at the box office in 1920. Montpelier is the smallest state capital by population! Yup, more people live in Juneau! Montpelier is famously also the only US state capital without a McDonald's, although neighboring Barre has McD's locations. The first permanent settlement of what's now Montpelier began in May 1787, when Colonel Jacob Davis and General Parley Davis arrived from Charlton, MA. General Davis surveyed the land, while Colonel Davis cleared forest and built a large log house by the Winooski River. His family moved in the following winter. Colonel Davis selected the name "Montpelier" after the French city of Montpellier, capital of the department of Hérault, because of loving the French for their aid to the colonies during the revolution. Montpelier was the hometown of George Dewey, the hero of Battle of Manila Bay in the Spanish-American War, who was Admiral of the Navy, the only person in United States history to have attained that rank! He won the Battle of Manila Bay with the loss of only a single crewman on the American side! The Winooski River, which drains an area between Burlington and Montpelier, comes from the Abenaki word winoskik meaning "at wild onion land"

@@thesamarawaters you’re unfortunately wildly wrong regarding Chicago, it means “place of wild skunk onions” Thus, we “Windy Citizens” are actually from “Skunkville!

I only rode Greyhound once in my life. It was during one of my many failed VIA Rail attempts (this was when the entire VIA network shut down because of a protest in BC...?). I took an extremely crowded bus from Ottawa to Toronto. That same trip, I was going to take the train between Toronto and Detroit and back; but I just rented a car. Aside from how busy it was (presumably because there were no trains running) , I didn't have any issues with it I seem to recall it wasn't much longer than the train either (which says more about VIA's terribleness than anything good about Greyhound).

Ahhh fun times. When I travelled Canada and the US when I visited from Australia in 2018 I got to the border and the whole system was down for hours. They let the bus through with all the US citizens onboard and everybody else like myself had to wait hours for the system to be back up and running and then they had to send another bus for the rest of us to get to Boston. Was an eventual and very long day. Of note, the gruff and overbearing US border patrol agents were not very sympathetic to non-US citizens.

I wonder if there's a market for a Boston to Montreal (and elsewhere) "luxury" bus, like with large reclining seats, maybe curtains. Or even seats like Amtrak has on long distance trains. I took the Adirondack from New York to Montreal in October, 2000, when they were still running heritage equipment on it (do this if you haven't, it's really scenic). The seats were larger than regular Amfleet seats, and the cafe car had stools along the wall so it doubled as a lounge. While a bus cannot replicate that, it would still be nice to have more room. The border stop on the train was different. The train stopped in a cornfield a few miles into Quebec (despite there being a highway border station right where the train enters Canada) where Canadian border agents boarded and went seat to seat checking passports and interviewing passengers.

Ah yes, wise classical philosopher....Jordan Peterson 💀 That "Farine Five Roses" sign you saw is a Montreal icon. Farine means flour. Ogilvie Flour Mills opened a mill in Montreal's harbor in 1946, and the Farine Five Roses sign was erected above it in 1948. ADM bought Ogilvie in 1994, sold the Five Roses brand to JM Smucker in 2006, and the sign faced uncertainty since ADM still owned the mill after they sold the brand. But thankfully Smucker spent nearly a million on keeping it lit, and the sign was designated an architectural feature by Ville-Marie in 2020. Manchester is, along with the city of Nashua, one of two seats of the most populous county in NH, Hillsborough County. Manchester-Boston Regional Airport opened in 1927 when the city's Board of Mayor and Aldermen put $15,000 towards the project. By October, a board of aviation had been founded, and ground was broken at an 84-acre site. It took only a month for two 1,800-foot runways to be constructed. In 1940, the airport was chosen as an Army Air Force base. At its peak, 6,000 troops were stationed there, including the 45th Bombardment Group, which practiced bombing runs on what is now New Boston Air Force Station and an anti-submarine squadron that destroyed at least two Nazi subs off the eastern coast. It was renamed Grenier Field after Manchester native Lt. Jean B. Grenier, who died in a training mission in 1934. Civilian use returned in 1951. The facility was known as Manchester Airport until April 2006 when it added "Boston Regional". You crossed back into the US at the Highgate Springs-St. Armand/Philipsburg Border Crossing, which connects the towns of Philipsburg, Quebec with Highgate Springs, Vermont. Philipsburg, first known as Missiskoui Bay, was settled in 1784 and was reportedly the first settlement in the Eastern Townships of Quebec. Saint-Armand, earlier known as Moore's Corners, was the site of the Skirmish at Moore's Corners, an 1837 battle in the Lower Canada Rebellion where 80 Patriotes marched into Canada from Swanton, Vermont intending to join other rebels and were intercepted. Even before construction of the 4-lane highway, this crossing was the primary route between Montreal and Boston, because it was where US Route 7 crossed into Canada. The US port of entry has a cattle inspection facility

It seems CBP does a much quicker inspection of the bus (if any) but usually CBSA takes longer and is more through...

Love the video! I'm always trying to game out ways of avoiding driving to/from Montreal from the Hub. There's recently been chatter about launching a (slow) Boston-Montreal overnight train over existing freight tracks. I'm not holding my breath... I wonder if taking the Greyhound from Montreal to Saint Albans VT and then taking Amtrak to Springfield to connect to Boston would be feasible. If the MBTA ever gets out to Springfield as is planned, that could work. Lotsa connections though.

That seemed really decent for Greyhound. My last experience from Indianapolis to Chicago was a little less... stellar. Seating was assigned but not enforced combined with some of the rudest passengers imaginable who snapped at people with the biggest persecution complexes for simply asking them. Like seating was assigned and it said so all over and you're sitting in someone's seat, how dare they "cause problems" by daring to ask about it! On top of that, two people (one of whom was ironically bitching about Greyhound the whole time) that were playing obnoxious videos on their phones out loud with no headphones simultaneously!

This is going on my outdated knowledge, but when I lived in Toronto a lot of people would prefer to fly out of the Buffalo airport than from Pearson due to the huge difference in airfare costs if they were traveling in the States. You def could take a bus from Toronto to the Buffalo airport and Google tells me it still exists! I'd wager that's the same for the Manchester airport - still blows my mind that the cheap fare is worth it that much to depart from a regional airport in the States than from YYZ. But to each their own.

Being from central MA and going to school in Montréal, I've done this bus ride dozens of time. You really captured the essence of my experience doing this trip over the years. In particular, the crossing from Canada into the US is always infuriating, just based on hearing the level of questioning that everyone is subject to, US citizens and non citizens alike. But overall, I agree, because of the border crossing and the high price, I think you tend to get a lot less of the trademark greyhound misery and crazyness. I do have to mention though, that since the FlixBus merger, they added a nonstop trip which is a godsend. You waste so much time stopping on this trip for stops that basically no one uses (Montpelier, Burlington/Manchester airports, Hannover, Concord, I'm looking at you).

I'm not sure if they've changed it but it used to only run twice a day in both directions at really inconvenient times. And its constantly listed as "Sold Out" despite almost never being filled to capacity. 🤷‍♂

Why did you want a particular seat though? Are some seats on Greyhound better than others?
@MilesinTransit
@MilesinTransit 2 ай бұрын
No, the seats are all the same, but you benefit from being closer to the front on this trip because it gets you through immigration faster.

Miles often talks about being made to feel like a pariah as a foot passenger on a ferry. I took this very same bus to Boston this summer, my first time crossing into the states on a bus, and I don't think I've ever felt like more of a pariah at the border. In a car they ask you a couple of questions and you're on your way in most cases, but on the bus you have to get off and drag all your luggage with you into a crowded holding pen and then they eventually grill the heck out of you - and I saw multiple people have all their luggage emptied out onto a table. As with most things in North America, if you find yourself outside of a car society has determined that you've done something wrong and deserve everything that happens to you. Do not recommend 😳
