November 20, 1934, Menasha Record
Due to the news that Greyhound bus service suddenly ceased operations to the Fox Valley yesterday, I offer a happier time for the bus line when such travel was more acceptable. Greyhound was founded in 1914 and quickly became the largest provider of
intercity bus transportation in the country. The bus line had a long presence in
northeast Wisconsin. It once had multiple routes a day coming through
Appleton and Green Bay, but that has been scaled back considerably in
recent years. When the C&NW ceased operations in 1971, my aunt who lived in Milwaukee and had previously used the train to visit exclusively, then had to rely upon the Greyhound to come up to Menasha. I always had thought, as a kid, that the train was so much more glamorous than the bus.
