America's first daily cross-country sleeper-bus started operating in 1935 on the Los Angeles-Kansas City line. Designed to make long-distance travel more enjoyable for the passenger, the new Greyhound bus boasts many features.
Berths for 25 persons are found in each of the fleet of coaches. There are five compartments equipped with radio, mirror, hot and cold running water and a portable table.
Entrance to the bus is made at the right center, with an aisle running the entire length of the coach along one side. Each compartment contains a large double berth and three singles, convertible into cushion lounge seats for day travel. There is sufficient room to permit dressing while standing up.
The walls of the bus are insulated against radical weather changes while a special ventilation and heating system maintains constant temperature. To eliminate noises, the power plant is located at the rear and can be removed and replaced in twenty minutes. Behind the false radiator front are spacious quarters for storing luggage.
