Shameful attitude and situation there with that bus station's employees.

Dozens of Greyhound Bus Line passengers have been stranded for up to four days in Memphis, Tenn., where one passenger was forced to wait outside in the frigid air in apparent retribution for speaking to reporters about their plight.
"We're all at a loss in there, trying to figure out why we're the only ones not moving," said Cynthia Caponey, who was kicked out of the heated terminal for speaking to reporters. Her son later drove about 250 miles from St. Louis, Mo., to pick her up.

"We've been stuck here since Thursday and they won't even help you with a free cup of coffee," he said.

You can probably remove the "through Memphis" part

Long distance bus travel is not for the faint of heart, or for anyone who cares about little things like sanitation and safety. I realize that many people can't afford to travel any other way but man, does it suck.
