Is bus travel in with expired photo ID possible in the US?
Trying to get a friend to Oregon. His ID is expired but does have a photo of him. Is it still possible for him to pick up a bus ticket using this ID?
Best Answer
Although the question didn't specifically mention Greyhound, this is Greyhound's policy and I assume should be similar for other bus transport organizations in this time of increased vigilance due to terrorism.
Greyhound Official Response from their Facebook account:
A Valid State Issued ID may range from a passport to a driver's license. An expired ID may not be accepted. If you are to purchase a Will Call Ticket, you can create a password for the traveler to use as ID. A nonrefundable gift ticket fee is applied to each Will Call transaction where the credit card holder purchasing tickets is not traveling on that trip. However, printed at home tickets along with valid photo ID will be required at point of origin.
