I don’t mean to engage in bus line one-upsmanship, but I’m coming back from another trip to Ankara with the same company as last week and this time the bus has two floors and there’s a “bistro” on the first floor! It seats about 20 and I’m in the corner where they have electrical outlets. They sell whisky, wine, beer and and non-alcoholic beverages as well as different kinds of snacks.
The only disappointment was when I tried to eat the sandwich they handed out upstairs and they said that this wasn’t allowed. Huh??? No food in the cafe? It’s not like I brought my own. Oh well, it’s still really comfy.
So, have I been away from the US long enough that this, too, is now commonplace?

Well, it’s no Starbucks! Looks pretty posh for a bus, though.
Another very nice bus, Jim. It does seem rather unusual that you weren’t allowed to eat the sandwich on the bus. I hope this trip went well for you.
One advantage of the bus over Starbucks? LED lights in the ceiling that resemble stars and slowly change from red to blue to green. I.e., cheesy mood lighting.
I was allowed to eat the sandwich, but I had to run back to my seat to do it! Pretty silly.
See, now it just looks like you’re rubbing it in our faces that our buses aren’t as cool as yours.
Up next week: Onboard fitness center and sauna!
Forget scenic vistas or colorful locals for the IDRF photo competition… I’m thinking you should submit a series of Turkish bus pics. Greyhound, shame on you.
Hey, I like that idea! I may run with that…
Kathleen can’t post comments…so she asked me to post this: We both think this is the best picture we’ve ever seen of you.
That’s all. Or maybe it was all the drugs talking. (hehehe)
Thanks guys! What is that, codeine? And you’re both on it?
