Greyhound: travel at day or night?

chris asked:


Should I travel by day or night?
Going from Raleigh, NC to Knoxville, TN (round trip). I want to travel on the least-crowded bus possible, and I figure that it would be least crowded at night.

I traveled there before via Greyhound in the early morning and the trip was pleasant (around 5am) but it got crowded later on and I ended up having some kid’s seat leaned back into my lap by 2pm.
I plan to travel 9pm-5am; would this avoid most Greyhound travelers?

I’m aware I am risking travel with shady characters this way. I prefer it to being packed like a sardine.

   honestly I wouldn’t go either way, last time I took one of their buses we got trapped somewhere in Pennsylvania. But in hopes that it wouldn’t happen to you, then you should go by night.
