GREYHOUND BUS LINES GUIDED TOUR 1957 PROMOTIONAL FILM 71122
Support Our Channel :
Created in the 1950s, this vintage film was made by Greyhound Bus Lines to promote their charter and tour services. As passenger railroads went into decline and America's highway system reached a new level of complexity, bus services such as Greyhound began to experience a surge in business. The Greyhound Escorted Tour promoted in this film proved highly successful with passengers from all walks of life signing up for multi-day trips to scenic destinations like the Grand Canyon and other National Parks, Washington D.C., New York, San Francisco, and other major American cities.
Greyhound Lines, Inc., usually shortened to Greyhound, is an intercity bus common carrier serving over 3,800 destinations across the United States, Canada, and Mexico. Founded in Hibbing, Minnesota in 1914, and taking the name The Greyhound Corporation in 1929, the company has been based in Dallas, Texas since 1987. Currently, British transportation company FirstGroup owns and operates Greyhound as a division of FirstGroup America.
After World War II, and the building of the Interstate Highway System beginning in 1956, automobile ownership and travel became a preferred mode of travel in the United States. Along with a similar downward trend in public transportation in general, ridership on Greyhound and Trailways bus routes began a long decline.
The Civil Rights Movement of the 1950s and 60s had a connection to the Greyhound company. In 1955, the Interstate Commerce Commission ruled in the case of Keys v. Carolina Coach Co. that U.S. interstate bus operations, such as Greyhound's, could not be segregated by race. In 1960, in the case of Boynton v. Virginia, the U.S. Supreme Court found that an African American had been wrongly convicted of trespassing in a whites only terminal area and in May 1961, civil rights activists organized interracial Freedom Rides as proof of the desegregation rulings. On May 14, a mob attacked pair of buses (a Greyhound and a Trailways) traveling from Washington, D.C., to New Orleans, Louisiana, and slashed the Greyhound bus's tires. Titles II and III of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 broadened protections beyond federally-regulated carriers such as Greyhound, to include non-discrimination in hotels, restaurants, and other public accommodations, as well as state and local government buildings
Later in the 1960s, Greyhound leadership saw a trend of declining ridership and began significant changes, including using the profitable bus operations to invest in other industries. By the 1970s, Greyhound had moved its headquarters to Phoenix, Arizona and was a large and diversified company, with holdings in everything from the Armour meat-packing company (which in turn owned the popular Dial deodorant soap brand), acquired in 1970; Traveller's Express money orders, MCI bus manufacturing company, and even airliner leasing. Indeed, Greyhound had entered a time of great change, even beginning to hire African American and female drivers in the late seventies.

Bus Stranded in Desert: SUPERMAN is not Coming
The ride with a Greyhound Bus was bad. The bus was old, the seats uncomfortable, no light in the smelly and dirty bathroom. 90 miles east of San Diego on the Interstate 8 the bus broke down. I was stranded in the middle of the desert. 120 degrees Fahrenheit outside, no AC inside the bus. First I thought the engine overheated, because we were driving in the hot desert. But it turned out that a terminal on one the the batteries on the bus was so corroded that the whole electrical system of the bus failed. The bus driver and some of the passengers of the bus fixed the problem by taking a couple of rocks from the road and banging with them on the corroded terminal until all the corrosion was hammered away. There were not even any tools on board of the bus. But why do you need tools when you have rocks? After this repair the engine started again and we were able to drive very slowly with no further breakdowns towards San Diego. We were stranded for about 45 minutes.
Thank you Greyhound.

Old Bruiser Cole's Bus
Walter Bruiser Cole paid just $1 for an old Greyhound bus in 1954.
Cole hauled the bus on a ferryboat to the middle of the river at Gauley Bridge and dragged it onto a rock sitting on an island. He said he did it all by himself, using come-alongs and hand cables.
Cole pretty much claimed the land then and there but later obtained a deed for it.
Cole had steadily made improvements to the camp over the years and even added electrical and water service. In 2010, Cole was 83. Not sure if he's still with us.
