Darius McCollum, a legendary thief who has been arrested 29 times for transit-related offenses, was picked up again in Brooklyn Wednesday, the New York Post reports—this time for stealing a Greyhound bus from the Port Authority depot.

Beware of Greyhound. An overnight bus traveling from Cincinnati to Detroit went off road last night, struck a tree, and eventually rolled over into a field. Amazingly, no one was killed.

A psychiatric hospital in Nevada is under investigation for allegedly busing more than 1,500 patients out of the state over the last five years. Patients discharged from the Rawson-Neal Hospital were routinely sent away on Greyhound buses to every state in the US with no supervision, advance notice, or future treatment plans.

As though shit-encrusted cruise ships weren't enough: a Greyhound bus traveling from Atlantic City to New York was forced to evacuate because of a roach infestation:

Twenty-nine-year-old bus driver Duane Snipes has confessed to stealing a brand-new Greyhound bus to drive up to Mount Vernon to see his lady love. Aw, let him off! He was following his heart! But yeah, definitely fire him.

PETA is an enigma. Is that the right word? What I'm trying to say is, they behave like crackheads. While their primary cause (animal rights) is good, they suffer from a weird celebrity fascination, knee-jerk political stridency, and a love for nasty fake meat. They also try to pass off nudity as philosophy. And yes, PETA, we know you love provocative ads. But using last week's Greyhound Bus Cannibal Psycho Murders as a news peg is not the wisest way to win supporters: From a PETA press release:

Last week a passenger was murdered, beheaded, and eaten on a Greyhound bus. Now the company is pulling its current ad campaign, which features the slogan: "There's a reason you've never heard of 'Bus Rage.'" [Chron.com]
