Greyhound adds two daily schedules to routes via Brownwood
An additional bus service will offer two daily schedules to San Angelo and Dallas with Brownwood connections for Austin and Houston. Arrow Trailways based in Killeen arrived in Odessa Friday afternoon and will run as long as needed. Greyhound schedules will be restored as they become available, while normal north and south routes stay on schedule. The Amalgamated Council of Greyhound Local Unions representing over 9,000 employees went on strike after wage talks stalled. Violent incidents were reported in 1983 during a Greyhound strike with shots fired on a Des Moines bus.
