Greyhound buses typically have a seat pitch of 34-36 inches, which may be adequate legroom for the average person but may feel cramped for taller people, particularly on long journeys. Greyhound, unlike airlines, does not provide designated extra legroom seats. While some seats near emergency exits may unintentionally provide more space, this is not guaranteed.
Book an aisle seat to improve your comfort on your Greyhound trip. This allows for occasional stretching into the aisle when the bus isn't crowded, providing relief from cramped quarters. Some Greyhound buses also offer reserved seating with slightly more legroom for an additional fee. While not available on all buses, it's worth looking for this option on your route for added convenience.
