I had a crazy trip to Boston this weekend. Both ways, the driver got lost and actually asked the passengers for directions! Luckily, everyone had smartphones and could easily provide assistance. On the way into New Haven, the driver got lost multiple times and would have driven around for who knows how long if I hadn’t jumped into the seat behind him and given him turn-by-turn directions.

I was curious how the driver got his directions in the first place, so I asked. He handed me a sheet of paper that contained a giant paragraph of all-caps text explaining how to get from point A to point B. It didn’t even have line breaks between steps! If he made a single wrong turn (he made about twenty) he would be lost. Why wouldn’t Greyhound give their drivers a GPS? Is it so expensive?
