The Gipper Posted August 9, 2012 Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 Me and few people are interested in going to the preseason game this Friday but would strongly prefer not having to drive all the way there and back. Do any bus companies offer special event buses to and from Detroit? All the way there? Jesus, its Detroit, not Seattle. It is only 162 miles away by car. Next to Pittsburgh it is the shortest distance from Cleveland to another NFL city. Are you menopausal that would disallow you to drive on interstates? In my opinion it would be far, far more convenient to drive than to take a freeking bus. The only reason I would take a bus would be if it were a planned party excursion bus. But I wouldn't want to have anything to do with Greyhound or Trailways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieHardBrownsFan Posted August 9, 2012 Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 It's an easy drive, unless you plan on getting drunk. Then just stay the night and leave the next morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ballpeen Posted August 9, 2012 Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 But I wouldn't want to have anything to do with Greyhound or Trailways. I worked several summers on the ore boats out of HS and a year or two in college. A family friend was a captain and he got me connected through Cleveland Cliffs. I go my final bump in Detroit and had to take the bus home. Trust me, the Detroit Greyhound station isn't a place you want to visit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the record, i've taken a bus many times from St. Ignatius to Canton, Massillon, Boardman, others. Dude, here is a company, but it looks like they don't do the preseason games. i got it from a quick google search, so there might be others. http://browns.bowlbus.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horn of Lake Erie Posted August 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 Gipper, you seem to talk from experience. What the hell got your thong in a wad? And yes, Roach, I was referring to something like that. As an Ignatius grad, I remember the school had general buses to go to away games. Colleges often have charted buses to take people to and from the game. So, I figured that due to the popularity of the Browns and due to the proximity of Detroit to Cleveland, a local bus company might be offering chartered service to and from Detroit.

miktoxic Posted August 9, 2012 Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 depending on where you live ask the bar crowd. we have charters all the time in area little villages that go either to mohegan sun or atlantic city. i would think a bar that is a famed browns sports bar would have something going on.

slowburn Posted August 10, 2012 Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 Bet you could take a effin boat to the Motor City and arrive before Greyhound. Love the new paint scheme on the Greyhound buses. The silver dog is lookin good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK, I may have misunderstood. If you want to find a party bus that goes up there and back that would probably be cool and fun. I guess I thought you were whining that it is such a long drive there that you couldn't handle it. My bad. I was not giving you any sympathy because I have to drive back and forth to San Antonio. Over 3K miles. That will be a bitch at my age. I am 60, not a college kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
