After days of waiting, hundreds of passengers stranded at Richmond's Greyhound terminal on the Boulevard finally got out of town today.
Greyhound Manager Ron DeMary said this morning that direct routes to Washington, Baltimore and New York, as well as points in North Carolina -- including Raleigh, Fayetteville and Charlotte -- would be moving. But he said there may be additional delays or cancelations for areas further out.
Edith Jenkins was heading from South Carolina to Hartford, Conn., by way of New York. This morning, she said she'd been in Richmond since Friday evening.
"I haven't been to sleep in 48 hours," she said. "This has been the worst experience of my life."
Until today, the last Greyhound bus had left Richmond on Friday at 7:50 p.m. for Fayetteville, said Stanley Stith, operations supervisor.
It was frustrating for some passengers who could see a clear stretch of the Boulevard and cars traveling on Interstate 95 nearby. But it was still not safe for the buses, Stith said.
