Several hours.
Via Channel 19, passengers from Toledo didn’t realize they were lost until they saw the same local sights “over and over and over again.” The bus was due to arrive in NYC at 7:30 a.m., but was 4.5 hours late. The driver, after circling town again and again, ultimately returned to the Cleveland Greyhound terminal and dropped off two passengers he claimed were being disruptive.
From New York, passenger Arin Choo told Channel 19 that the disruptive passengers were just trying to give the driver directions from their GPS devices. The same driver completed the trip to New York City.
“Why [the driver] didn’t have GPS, who knows,” said passenger Choo, in his video interview with Channel 19.

didnt this same exact thing happen a few months back? both buses bound for new york?
Seems like a bunch of bad drivers…just had to pick up my daughter, Michigan bound to Detroit all the way in Dayton. Was supposed to be in Detroit to get their connector at 1:40. Too bad I picked them up 3 hours’ drive South at 4pm, 7 hours behind schedule. Both their bus was broke down and the replacement heading from Cleveland was broke down, but their driver continued to yell and abuse the passengers like it was their fault.
If passengers can make calls from hijacked planes before they die, why can’t bus passengers call 911 and report erratic or hostile behavior by bus drivers? This seems to be happening a lot lately…and not on those cheap-ass Megabuses, either. On Greyhound! They have really gone to hell over the years. Greyhound drivers used to be the cream of the crop, not the cream of the crap…underpaid and stressed-out mopes.
Don’t most people on these buses carry phones? Or are they on the bus because they’re poor…so no phone? If you see the same shit out the window, over and over, wouldn’t you realize that you’re going in circles and call the cops to stop the bus? And don’t the drivers get penalized if they’re hours late or wind up in the wrong town? What possible excuse could they have? Oh, gee, I got LOST? Gimme a…brake!
