Agreed.
He's riding a SS, less to worry about. I've taken Greyhound to Boston and PeterPan, found them quite comfortable. I took my folder in a bag with no box at all! They didn't charge me extra either and I suspect taking a full size SS in one of those bags from Nashbar should be enough. You would only have to worry about the wheels but just get a cover and tell the drive to be gentle or put them by yourself far away from everyones stuff.
While on Peter Pan, which is just like Greyhound, they showed a movie. I like that!
