Exactly. At a couple of transfer points on my ride on Greyhound, Green Bay to Texarkana, the bike was transferred. At another, I was told that I would have to move it. As I had paid freight charges, I refused and failed to bribe the baggage handler. That's where we got seperated. The bike arrived a day later than me. I had no problems at all on Jefferson Lines heading west to Rapid City.

I was told by a Greyhound employee that the company had been bought by some European outfit and that morale had plummeted. That for sure was quite evident.
