Should I take a Greyhound Bus?

So: I am on a bus.
Going home was never an issue until my parents divorced the summer before my sophomore year of college. Then things got a little weird. I ended up having to move all of my stuff out of my house and into my teeny tiny apartment because my mom said she was probably going to move into a smaller house. Well, she ended up with a job she enjoyed, and I thought it safe to say I could always count on her being a short 2 hour drive from me. WRONG! She goes and gets promoted to run her own store all the way in Gatlinburg, TN.
Anyway, not having a car and my mom being 8 hours north, I have gotten on this bus.

And the big question I googled before hand: Should I take the Greyhound Bus.

Well.

So far so good.

I mean, the busses all have WiFi, so you can surf the web to pass the time. And the ticket prices have gotten higher, so for the most part the creeps are just outside the bus station. My ticket roundtrip was about $150, and so far I' m okay with that. It seems to be a lot of younger families and other college kids. I did take an earlier bus to try and avoid wackos, and I am pretty pleased.
I have a 1 hour layover in Atlanta, and if that isn't a disaster I'd say the bus is well worth it. So college kids or teenagers traveling alone a long distance, keep your guard up but don't worry too much. If you can not afford a plane ticket the bus works just fine.
