Riding the Dog with Greyhound - Part 4
« on: February 15, 2025, 04:22:40 PM »


Problems started occurring with Greyhound when the Dial Corporation took over.

Greyhound Buses and Package Express in Canada was a huge success, and ran Greyhound separate from the U.S. Corporation.

The early MC-7 and MC-8 buses had silver caps, which were later painted blue.

The Greyhound Fishbowl buses in California were painted the Pepsi color.

The PD-4107 buses were also painted the Pepsi color.

TMN-O was the name of the Texas, New Mexico, and Oklahoma bus company.

The commuter buses all had Cash Boxes in them.

The Canadian MC-6 buses kept the V12 engine.

Take the Bus and Leaving the Driving to Us became Greyhound's motto.

The MC-7 was the same as an MC-5A, with five feet added to the back end to make them 40’ buses.

See the silver-capped Super-7 Scenicruiser in Thunder Bay, Ontario.

Washington, DC had a Greyhound Airport service bus to shuttle passengers from the airport to the hotels.
