• Route details – Customers know what to expect during their journey, with information about the types of stops and what services are available at each stop.
• Travel policy details – Frequently asked questions on topics such as baggage, ticketing and service needs, are clearly communicated, making travel easier than ever.
• Inspiring travel content – Videos showcase real customers' journeys and Greyhound employees, and city-specific recommendations highlight what to do or see, to assist customers when planning their trip.
• New look for tickets – Tickets have a clean, simplified look where information such as schedule number, origin/destination and boarding time is easily found. It also includes helpful tips for baggage and traveling by bus, as well as station information.

"We carefully listened to our customers and are excited for them to see how we've put their needs at the forefront with this new site," said Andy Kaplinsky, Chief Commercial Officer, Greyhound Lines, Inc. "This is the latest in a series of big, game-changing improvements we are making to provide a better experience for our customers. Our goal is for customers to not only think of us as a company that is easy to do business with, but as one of the best options when exploring travel choices."
