Greyhound drops 22 communities
MARTINSVILLE, Ind. -- The Greyhound bus pulled into the drive-through window of the KFC at 6:30 p.m. Thursday, looking not for chicken but for passengers.

I'll have a three-piece dinner with mashed potatoes and macaroni & cheese. The story is here.

It is not apparent from these articles how this will affect the published Thruway connections to Amtrak at Indianapolis and other Indiana cities, nor the non-Thruway Greyhound routes that connect with Amtrak. The first article does mention the Indianapolis-Louisville route, which parallels the line that used to be the KENTUCKY CARDINAL route. It should be of little surprise that this route has a low ridership issue when the train often ran with zero to a handful of passengers.
