How can buses get better?

clean windows for viewing as it passes through the length of Manhattan (and not the ”backyard”). [[u]railroads are said to travel through America’s backyards]

But next time you're in Michigan, check out the "Michigan Flyer" buses run by Indian Trails. They're beautiful, clean buses that currently serve Metro Airport, Ann Arbor, and East Lansing. I think they run on loop routes 13 times a day. Fares look decent, with 50% discount if purchased online 48 hours in advance.

Actually, all the Indian Trails buses are all beautiful, new, clean, free wi-fi, customer-centered drivers and agents. The buses are mostly on-time, even. They show what Greyhound could be with a better customer service model.
