Started May 4th.   If it's on time, trips to Chicago arrival is  8:25 pm at the downtown Greyhound station, 6:30 pm for Detroit.  Return trips get you back early afternoon from both locales.

I took this from Baton Rouge to New Orleans and it was pretty nice. Inexpensive and efficient.

Instead of Flixbus, this would have been the classic way to  go between Baton Rouge and New Orleans:

Quote

Busted flat in Baton Rouge, waitin' for a train
When I's feelin' near as faded as my jeans
Bobby thumbed a diesel down, just before it rained
And rode us all the way into New Orleans
I pulled my harpoon out of my dirty red bandana
I's playin' soft while Bobby sang the blues
Windshield wipers slappin' time, I's holdin' Bobby's hand in mine
We sang every song that driver knew

. . .
