How Greyhound Bus Crews Eat, Sleep & Survive 60 Hours Crossing America

How Greyhound Crews Eat, Sleep & Survive 60 Hours Crossing America Coast to Coast This video explains how Greyhound's cross-country run between New York and Los Angeles — about 2,900 miles and roughly 60 hours — actually gets driven, and why federal law makes sure no single driver ever covers the whole trip. Federal "hours of service" rules cap any interstate bus driver at 10 hours of driving before a mandatory rest, so a coast-to-coast Greyhound trip is handed off between multiple drivers along the way. This video traces that rule back to a 2011 tour bus crash in the Bronx that killed 15 people, the 2012 MAP-21 law that tightened oversight afterward, and the 2017–2019 electronic logging device mandate that closed the paper-logbook loophole behind it — then asks the question the regulation never answers: what protects the passenger sitting behind that driver, for the entire 60-hour trip. What's covered in this video: • The federal hours-of-service rule that caps a bus driver at 10 hours of driving • Why truck drivers get a 34-hour restart and bus drivers don't • The 2011 Bronx tour bus crash and the NTSB's official findings on what caused it • How the 2012 MAP-21 law and the 2017–2019 electronic logging device mandate changed the rules • Greyhound's stated rest policy versus what the drivers' union says about it in practice • Who actually rides a 60-hour Greyhound route, according to federal ridership data • What Greyhound's 2024–2025 fleet refresh changed on board, and what it didn't #greyhound
