I was walking with my older sister here and we walked by homeless people while holding her hand. They asked us for money we said no and a homeless guy just shouted "YOU FU***** LESBIANS!" . Best memory I got from here
I reported them to the BBB for harassment as a paying customer. They treat customers like cattle by running the inside like a jail. You could not even sit on the floor to charge your phone so it won’t get stolen! Also a weirdo tried to sit next to me on the bus. That was the last time I used Greyhound, two years ago.
Any Greyhound Depot is where State Prisons give inmates free passes to go anywhere they want when released in the US. If you ride a Greyhound Bus, there are newly released prison inmates in them. Just a little bit of info in case you want to send minors on them by themselves.
@Soulsurviver22 I'm the one who purchased the tickets for them, so I wish I was lying, but it's absolutely true. Just do a quick search of all the crazy stuff, including the dude that beheaded someone on a bus a while back.
Greyhound took money out of my account 323.00 .. couldnt get it back because the owners are a foriegn entity. So kick rocks I hope they start closing yall down
It’s about time, definitely overdue! I’ve road greyhound a couple of times as a minor.. every part of that station stayed dirty & most of their employees are rude!
Will Houston ever have the equivalent of a Penn Station? Some confluence of transit modalities in one station ( buses, light rail, regional/commuter rail to IAH and taxies. Houston has got to stop moving like it’s small back water town and realize that the population being attracted to the area at this point is expecting a level of connectivity, infrastructure, urban centrality that can only come from having certain modalities in centrally localized areas. Why not build intermodal transit infrastructure just north of downtown to overlap with the red line which appears to be the spine of what hopefully will become a comprehensive interconnected transit system for a global city. Houston stop shooting yourself in the foot when it comes to urban planning and zoning, grow up and move forward. You have awesome potential but look how Dallas and Austin are leaving you in the dust. Not even a W or a Pennisula Hotel downtown and no regional commuter rail connecting Rosenberg/ Sugarland, Katy/Brooksire, Conroe/ Woodlands or Galveston/League City- NASA ? It will ensure long term vitality, like what’s happening in Dallas due to there progressive investment in people moving infrastructure. Kudos to DFW!
Used that greyhound bus station a couple times when i lived in Houston. Some pretty sketchy looking characters hanging around both inside and out. And that was way back in 1990.
If the city would have made it safer to use the bus service they may not have moved. It's not the bus company to police the area around the bus station. Using the bus is a cheap way of travel for people that can't afford airline tickets. It's sad that the city is blaming a means of transportation and a fast food restaurant for bad city management.
Seems like the real problem is the homeless population not the businesses…. I’m sure the military could fix the homeless problem…. Give the homeless people something to do for goodness sakes!
They arent solving any problems, they are just moving it. EDIT: WAIT JUST A MINUTE! Did Isiah just suggest that McDonalds and a Bus Station caused that criminal activity!?!?!? Wow ..... 4:24
Every greyhound station in a big city has a McDonald's right next to it, and it has the same trash people hanging outside like they don't have a thing in the world to do besides bother and beg
The last year or so greyhound has been closing bus stations all over the place and replacing them with street corners and overpasses and run down gas stations to pick up and drop off people. I sure hope they don’t do that in Houston because it’s caused a lot of problems in cities
@@TheloniousJackson you can find news clips all over the place.Good example is Tampa, FL closing their station selling tickets out of a rundown old food stand and the bus picks up and drops off under the I-275 overpass. It’s been happening since a company called Flix bought Greyhound.
Greyhound is dropping all their big downtown stations. It's the only way they can compete with the other carriers that just pick you up on a street corner or gas station. So unless the city builds a transportation center which all buses can use, this is the new reality.fir Greyhound passengers everywhere.
Dallas should be shut down also quarter of the size of Los Angeles and 5x the crime but California is always getting called out when Texas and the other hillbilly states are 10x worse
Sometimes the worst criminal in California history showed up at the Los Angeles Greyhound station way back in the mid 1980's. His name was Richard Ramirez.
Give folks on the streets help and folks in prison moneys for there wages while they are there"' nobody state property onless ur in prison for murder etc not low felons etc folks need to fix the systems
Some of those homeless don't want help some of them like smoking crack and getting high and getting drunk but yes I believe in helping the homeless who actually want help not the ones who want to hang out all day on the street

As the former Houston Greyhound City Manager from 2016 - 2019, I’d be happy to share my perspective.
Let’s hear it get with news station
Please enlighten us Sir!
Start sharing
What you waiting
For?

That’s not true eveyone pays their share fare stop lying ..

What prison you came from ?
Polk County
@@jafo4u508you are absolutely telling the truth! I drove for Greyhound for 3 years- and picked up several inmates, leaving prison.
The dealers hang out here because they know a parolee getting off the bus might be looking to party first chance they get.
No lie
Facts! 😂😂😂
Thank God
It was easily the most disgusting part of Houston....well top five at least ....
Too much going on around there with all those homeless people chillin around there.

Wow many memories catching the bus home from college in the 1980's. Clean up the whole area now with the homeless in general not one isolated segment.
This place helped me visit home when I was in the military….
It was always a nuthouse, but it was ours 😊
Clean it up and out!
I was there in October 2023 and I count my blessings that I wasn't mugged. Horrible place.
They need to move that Louisiana Fried Chicken too. 😅
That one is horrible. The best one is in Downtown Dallas.
@@autumnseptember4635that Pizza Hut inside the Dallas greyhound is legit.
That what your worried about 😂😅😅

I couldn’t have said it better
It’s about time
Where am I going to get my crack now?
😂😂😂 this one funny ass comment I don't know man you might have to go down to 3rd Ward or another ghetto to get your crack I hear Ella has it
The Whitehouse 😊😊

Who was there first, Greyhound or ______? All that's happened is homeless has been moved to another area, for the moment.
Turn it into a homeless shelter
With the new Highway system they want to move all that crime in the area for the new generation
If the city would have made it safer to use the bus service they may not have moved. It's not the bus company to police the area around the bus station.

Are you implying we should lock up homeless people and force them into labor? Yeah something tells me that wouldn’t work out well lmao
The military will take them if they aren't past the cut off age.
Lol
Stop enabling homeless people and you will eliminate the problem...
They arent solving any problems, they are just moving it.
EDIT: WAIT JUST A MINUTE! Did Isiah just suggest that McDonalds and a Bus Station caused that criminal activity!?!?!? Wow ..... 4:24
He is an EPIC WHITE MAN SYMPATHIZER he always has been, and they never do anything to fix the issue, blame it on McDonald's
There will be more homeless because jobs will become a thing of the past when robots and automation replace employees.
Every greyhound station in a big city has a McDonald's right next to it, and it has the same trash people hanging outside like they don't have a thing in the world to do besides bother and beg
@@riot057 That bunch of beggars will thicken fast.
Dr Shabazz you’re completely clueless as to what your constituents want
Yeah sounds like a buffoon
The next building is going to be small. And there is a lot of v homeless people there as well
Where is that great subculture gon hang out now
Whitehouse 😊
Pretty sure there is pleny crime where their going
Gotham city at its best and they are popping up all over the world 😊😅

True. Greyhound/Flix needs to do better. A lot better.

@@thud9797 Chicago still has a large greyhound depot
No matter what they put their they don't have the same problem
Take a shot every time she says "community". Kamala Harris School of Public Speaking. LMAO
So, just shut the doors and turn it over to lawlessness? Yeah, that’s an easy solution but one you’re gonna regret one day.

Who you calling hillbilly... I am a redneck.. get it right snowflake ❄️❄️❄️❄️
Dallas greyhound station is much safer. Sure the quality of people are still lower class, but there are armed cops there.
Greyhound should just pull out the southern hillbilly states
Give folks on the streets help and folks in prison moneys for there wages while they are there"' nobody state property onless ur in prison for murder etc not low felons etc folks need to fix the systems
Was that English?
@@jafo4u508I don't like English; I like the way people in Texas talk much, much better.
Build a homes for the homeless
Some of those homeless don't want help some of them like smoking crack and getting high and getting drunk but yes I believe in helping the homeless who actually want help not the ones who want to hang out all day on the street
Do you think those people can properly manage a household?
Man that won’t change nothing. Some homeless people don’t wanna do right when helping them. I know I helped a few..
It would make a fantastic migrant shelter 😊
Their own country would work better...how about you go and take them home with you..
If you vote for Shelia Jackson Lee
@shanna1518 😂 Vote Republicans into office and this doesn't happen in your state!
@@jafo4u508 I'm not in that state...
Very funny.😑
