Can I bring a pocket knife on a Greyhound bus?


Can I bring a pocket knife on a Greyhound bus? Traveling by Rail and Bus Generally speaking, this policy is not as strictly enforced as the TSA policies, but its lack of enforcement does not mean the laws and regulations don't exist. Greyhound allows knives in stowed luggage but not on your person or carry-on.


What is something that is prohibited on the bus?

No pets or dangerous objects. No animals of any kind are allowed on the bus with the exception of guide dogs. Dangerous objects are anything that could cause an injury if mishandled. Other items, such as skateboards, are not allowed on the bus. These include any object that could be used as a weapon.


Does Greyhound have WIFI?

Wi-Fi is free on all our buses, for all passengers. We see it as a must-have these days, not a premium feature. So go ahead, check your emails or Instagram window scenery from the road (we'd love if you tag it #gogreyhound).


Does backpack count as carry-on?

A carry on bag is your larger, primary bag, which you'll stow in the overhead bin. A backpack can be your carry on if it meets your airline's carry on size limits. A personal item is a smaller, secondary bag, which you'll stow under the seat in front of you.


What happens if your personal item is too big?

Usually, many airlines won't check every carry-on but will instead go for ones that look oversized. If your luggage does not fit in the sizer, you might have to pay a checked bag fee along with the gate checking fee and have your bag transferred to the airplane's cargo.
