Greyhound Celebrates 100th Anniversary
Greyhound, the largest provider of intercity bus transportation in North America, is commemorating its 100th anniversary.
To celebrate, the company will host a series of events scheduled throughout the year – showcasing its growth from one vehicle operating out of Hibbing, Minn., to its current standing as one of the world’s most iconic brands and an integral part of America’s transportation infrastructure.
On May 29, the company will launch its Centennial Tour, which will be composed of two mobile museum tours simultaneously moving across the United States.
Visiting nearly 40 cities over the next seven months, the Centennial Tour will feature two buses converted into mobile museums, featuring displays of memorabilia, such as signage, vintage driver uniforms and an entire wall of history where guests will be able to see Greyhound’s transformation over the years, as well as view videos via interactive touchscreen displays.
The tours will also feature restored classic coaches, such as the 1914 Hupmobile, 1931 Mack, 1937 Yellow Coach, 1947 Silversides, 1948 ACF Brill I-41, 1954 Scenicruiser, 1968 Scenicruiser and the 1984 Americruiser 2.
To showcase the company’s recent transformation, several of Greyhound’s new, modern coaches featuring amenities such as free Wi-Fi, leather seats, power outlets and extra legroom will round out the tour.
