Greyhound bus
Long-distance carrier service
Greyhound bus refers to the intercity bus service operated by Greyhound Lines, the largest provider of intercity bus transportation in North America.
The name comes from the company's logo featuring a running greyhound dog, symbolizing speed.
People use it generically to mean any long-distance bus travel, often with connotations of budget travel and lengthy journeys: I took a Greyhound bus from Chicago to Denver.
The phrase sometimes carries working-class associations, as it has historically served travelers who cannot afford to fly.
