It's something about the US
Greyhound in Aus is fine. Greyhound in Canada is fine. I still think getting the bus to Seattle beats having to brave a taxi from the airport, but Greyhound in the US is not fine.

I'm standing at the bus station in Vancouver waiting for my bus to Seattle. I see all the pretty new buses and think this can't be so bad. Then I see our bus - yes, the one that looks like it's about 75 years old and probably won't even make it out of the station in one piece.
It seems that the buses within Canada are fine, but they won't let the nice ones across the border and you have to go on the US fleet. Maybe they're scared that the yankees will see what they're missing or something. Luckily most of the passengers are just there to do their patriotic duty as Canadians by shopping in the US and not declaring most of it on the way back.

I was going to say that Canadian bus passengers don't seem quite so crazy, but then I remembered about that guy who just randomly chopped off a guy's head and started eating him.

My point, of course, is that you're getting a sympathy click.
