When I was little i away was a fan of greyhound I love riding in dos buses 🚌 their great 👍 I love greyhound is my favorite bus company in the world and America 🇺🇸
I rode Greyhound for the first time in late February in 2020 (before coronavirus disease was taken seriously). Riding Greyhound was a fun experience. What helped was me doing research on all the rules beforehand.
This is the Greyhound I fell in love with as a child...than I later got to experience a 14.5 year career with them (13.5 driving, 1 baggage/customer service.)
Greyhound still had MC-9s up until about 2001. The first one has started running in 1979 and the last ones left were built in 1984. The older ones had 43 instead of 47 seats before Teets took over and reduced legrooom starting in 1982. Legroom has finally been increasing since 2009 when Leach became President and started installing more comfortable seats. Greyhound's getting better now, I won't complain.
Such a shame that greyhound isn't greyhound anymore; broken down buses and broken down wheelchair lifts are common thing now. First group has to go and reinstate greyhound bus service here in Canada.
When I was younger we used to ride the mc9 a lot but we got a car when I was about 5 years old.We haven't rode any buses since then. One day in 2003 when i was 16 years old my school had a field trip to Winnipeg and we got back by greyhound which was an
I love those MC-9s. Sadly that was about the last time Greyhound saw reliable service. When I went from St. Louis to Cape, I rode an MC-7 and and MC-9. The reverse gear sitting behind 2nd on the MC-9s and the GM Scenic Cruisers was a challenge. To back up a GM Scenic Cruiser or an MC-7, you had to put the shift lever in 1st, throw a switch which was a "gate" to allow you to go into reverse. It was a weird design. If you didn't lock the gate and once you shifted into 2nd and didn't come off the clutch in time, you would end up jerking the bus and upsetting a bunch of passengers. The MC-10s were the first buses bought with a new safety window mounted half way down just below the top step to make it easier for the driver to see what is on his right side.
@@jimo199966 I remember 1300 as well as 1301, these were both unique as they were the only ones that were 43-pax. From 1302 to the last 96A3 which I believe was 1372, those were all 47-pax.
Been riding Greyhound for more than 30 years. At first I rode the MC-8 and MC-9 a lot in the 1980s, MC-12s in the 1990s, and 102DL3s in the 2000s. Unfortunately, where I live, I've been having to ride a lot G4500s which break down a lot.
When I was younger, we used to ride the mc9 a lot up until I was about 5 years old we got a car and since then we haven't rode any buses. One day in 2003 when I was 16 years old my school had a field trip to Winnipeg because our school theme was on vehicles and we rode the greyhound back which the model of the bus was an mci g4500 and it had a smoother ride and the bus was a lot quieter then the mc9.
Will be a tough day for all drivers and passengers when greyhound no longer operates bus service here in western Canada thanks to First Group a European company bleeding greyhound dry financially; Laidlaw was better and there American; greyhound bus service was way better 10 years ago. Now it's gone to hell in a hand basket; broken down buses and broken down wheelchair lifts are common thing now. I say get rid of First Group a European company and fully reinstate greyhound bus service.
Greyhound had a one off, based off the MC-9, the MC-12. It looked very similar though the front roof cap was narrower and the taillights were similar to the 96A3.
As a 20 year old kid in 1984 I travelled from San Francisco to New York on the dog. Some of the happiest times of my life.
That’s when Greyhound was A true bus company.

What routes or runs have you driven with Greyhound?

Gosh, I wish the MC-9 was still Greyhound's workhorse. The ones in this commercial are immaculate!!!!
Me too although some bus companies still use them even Trailways still runs a few I've heard.
That Grand Canyon shot was amazing.
What a herd of Buses!
Great videos. Nice to see what a good looking MC9 looked like back when they were nearly new!
I rode buses like these during the four years I went to college. Rode mostly MC-9s.
NobHillBorn I was a driver from 1980-1992 MC-9 was a real work horse.
Oh wow! So you were with Greyhound during the merger with Trailways?
I love that red, white a blue livery, I sure wish Greyhound buses still looked like that. The new livery is too dark for my taste.
The new theme was base on the buses from the thirties
Glad you like it! The background scenes are amazing...

Lloyd Norwood when we got the 10’s they were the first 102 wide.
@@gordonleonard9542 There is no such coach as an MC10
After the TMC (Roswell NM) MC-9's there was 1300 the first 96-A3, later the wide body 102-A3's and finally the MC-12 an updated version of the MC-9

RIP. A BIG Thank You to Dean Muenzenmayer who safely drove Greyhound for over 30 years!
Look at their Pepsi can schemes just like Amtrak!
Man would love videos of the mci 8 slanted windows buses.
I think those are MCI MC9s.
Those are cool looking coaches. Nice video 🚌🚌🤩😍🇺🇸🇺🇸
from north to south of America I see mostly greyhound buses and other bus companies these older buses are heavy duty and strong

My god...
so... many... busses....
This was when Greyhound was, indeed, Greyhound and the mighty Americruiser was king.
Sure wish they still were.
Go greyhound
Igualitos a los de la empresa O.N.D.A en el Uruguay (La Greyhound Uruguaya para los americanos).
Greetings from Uruguay!

The final location looks like the bridge on Hwy 1 near Big Sur.
It’s hard looking at these videos because Greyhound is far from what it used to be.
❤😊
Nice video
I was always scared to use the mc9 washroom because I was afraid that I would fall in the toilet.
My mother said the same thing lol..
i miss the MC9s
The MC9s are still in use but sadly not on Greyhound. The MC12s have also been withdrawn from service years later.
Seems back in '84 those buses didn't have to have a safe following distance!!
BUENÍSIMO!!!
MCI MC-9 ^^
My pain praying should be shut down

Greyhound when You Going to Post New Videos? How about Something from Vegas Please! Can't wait to Go back to Vegas!
I thought I saw something a MC-9 with parts of a current Greyhound MC of today is their a new model being built based off of that?
Jeremy Williams Yes, the 102DL3, D4500, and D4505 are all based off the MC-9.
