The beauty of bus travel scheduling left me with two options to get from Chattanooga from Asheville (a 4 hr destination): 5 hour layover in this luxurious lobby or boomeranging out to Nashville west, transferring and heading back east for a total of 6 hours on a shaky bus and slightly reclining seats. I'm building my lobby fort. My neck hurts already. And the ticket guy joked in an unfunny way that I'd be locked in which wasn't true (like when I was locked into a Chinese police friend's apartment). On the trip to this station the previous bus station manager told me to board the bus; then the bus driver was disgruntled with me for having boarded the bus. I understand that these operators deal with a lot of shit but i couldnt be more friendly or apologetic in these situations. Hoping for attitude improvement as I continue my travels as Id rather be promoting bus travel.
