Can you put a motorcycle on a Greyhound bus? Can you put a small motorcycle in the luggage area under a Greyhound bus? I'm going cross-country and have no choice, because nobody can pick me up when I get there and the bike is new, and may have problems with such a long trip. I would be willing to pay more for it, and load/unload it myself. It isn't large or heavy, and people can put things on top of it and, if necessary, I could drain it beforehand. The bike is a 118 Kg 200 cc bike, with a max. 40 inch height. I could remove mirrors and handlebars, and put them in my one carry-on bag. I know it would fit left-right, and back-front I would only need about 3 feef of clearance. It wouldn't move, and it would be clean. Please, anyone that knows, REPLY. I need to know as soon as possible, and please only answer if you are sure. Thanks.
What is the closest Greyhound bus station to the Best Western Maplewood Inn in Maplewood, MN? The address of the Maplewood Inn is 1780 County Road D East. I tried the greyhound bus station in Minneapolis, MN, and it is 25 minutes away from the site. I tried the greyhound bus station in Saint Paul, MN, and it is 15 minutes away from the site. I used mapquest both times to determine the distance. Is there a better stop than the one in Saint Paul, MN? I am hoping for someone who is more knowledgeable about the surrounding area of Minneapolis/St Paul to give me the best Greyhound station to stop at, which is the minimum distance (timewise) from the Best Western Maplewood Inn. There seems to be many Greyhound stations in Minnesota.
