Greyhound

Intercity bus line

Greyhound is an American intercity bus company, the largest in North America.

Its distinctive running-dog logo and silver buses have made it synonymous with long-distance bus travel: She took a Greyhound from Chicago to Denver.

Riding the Greyhound often connotes budget travel or a particular slice of American life. (Lowercase greyhound is the dog breed.)
