Is Greyhound safe or not?

I would say that traveling by Greyhound is pretty safe, or as safe as it can be. Whenever you have large amounts of people thrown together there is the possibility of crime and bad things happenings. But for the amount of people that travel via Greyhound everyday there really aren't that many serious crimes reported.

The safest seat on a bus is in the middle (aisle seats), between the two front tires. This is because it is the most protected from potential accidents. After finding out from the bus carrier how the seats are located on the bus, try to give preference to seats installed near the aisle.

I have used Flixbus several times in Europe and Greyhound twice in the USA. Flixbus is way better than Greyhound in all areas such as comfort, facilities, leg space etc. Prices are almost same in both companies. If I were to give scores to both bus companies, I would give Greyhound 5 and Flixbus 8 out of 10.

To find the safest seat on a bus, head for the middle. Choose a row as centrally located as possible and sit on the aisle, choosing the side of the bus farthest from opposing traffic. In America, this means sitting on an aisle seat on the right-hand side of the bus.
