What is the best seat on a Greyhound bus?

Sit at the front. You'll have a better chance of having two seats all to yourself, since everyone else will, undoubtedly, be heading towards the back of the bus. Personally, I prefer the front because it makes me feel more safe to be closer to the driver.

What does E mean in Greyhound?

On the online schedule, some of the bus times have this orange "e" next to them and, below, a grid indicates that this means it's an "express reservation."
