Here's the latest confirmed news on Greyhound:
Yesterday, June 25th, 2014, Greyhound introduced their new System Timetable, with the above changes.
- No more overbooking on any US schedules, excluding Casino services and codeshare services.
- 91% OTP to a 30-minute standard (US and Canada?)
- Expanded long-distance and ultra-long-distance service.
- More ultra-long-distance routes to connect faraway hubs.
- Yield Management introduced.
- Web Only Fare is now the cheapest instead of Advance Purchase Fare.
- Standard Fares still very high to discourage buy-ticket-and-go customers.
- Same-day bookings are now very high even when booking online.
- Changes not made to Greyhound Canada booking system, this is Greyhound US only, unless otherwise noted.
- Restrooms cleaned up, got some shots from my latest ride, no odor, retention toilets. I assume Greyhound Canada still cleaned the restrooms.
