Pensacola greyhound station -WTH (505 E burgess road)

Place is not open at night until bus arrives... The problem with that is it is full of transients outside and building is locked currently.

Greyhound should be ashamed of the location and way it operates out of this town. Maybe this place should be closed down? I call the national number for Greyhound... They don't even have a clue. A poor way to run a business

If you know the answer as to why it's closed at night why the hell are you asking,Einstein. The friggin transients! Good grief man!

I had a friend drop me off at the Waffle House down the road a bit. I didn't want her to be out late so I asked to be dropped off early. They should at least have it opened to passengers. It would be easy to allow folks in who belonged and booted those who do not.

Five years ago my wife and I went to Tampa by Greyhound to pick-up a motorcycle I'd bought. Never again. The noise, the smells, the ghastly backed-up toilet. Yech.

I'm with you 100% about wanting to take a long, leisurely train trip. But there is no passenger train service in Pensacola. But, of course, you can toss a mullet, or wear a battered camo baseball cap while eating at an upscale restaurant, or tie imitation bull's balls to your pick-up trailer hitch, carry a "Roll Tide" sticker on your rear window or a beheaded alligator noggin.

Yessirree sir, Pensacola's a bastion of civilization . ..

Take a look at the Amtrak site to get an idea of what's pitifully available for a train trip. It is expensive and some routes are cobbled together using bus connections. Just another area where we are not probably even in the top ten much less #1. Plot a trip for yourself and see what you come up with, just for fun.
