a train ticket cross country costs thousands of dollars more than an equivalent class of airplane tickets so no, no I do not have that control

NY–LA via Amtrak: $291. Greyhound, a bus company: $139

Can you acknowledgedyou've moved the goalposts from train to bus?

I did provide the price for a train ticket that is significantly cheaper than Match!!’s “thousands of dollars”, didn’t I?

No, a bus isn't a train. Is this perhaps a language barrier problem?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Well yes, but you've also failed to explain how someone with a limited budget can enjoy all the comforts and conveniences of modern life without making any sacrifices, which makes you wrong.

The $300 ticket is for a coach seat for a trip that takes 70-90 hours one way. Hope you don’t like laying down to sleep or showering!

I can only assume you’ve never taken Greyhound if you’re suggesting it for a cross country trip. In addition to having the same problems as trains but worse (try spending 12 hours in a bus stop halfway through your trip because of overbooking!), if you do want to take Greyhound then be sure to sleep on top of anything on your person that you don’t want stolen. Once I had shit stolen from me before I even made it onto the bus!
