Greyhound's on-time performance in 2021 was 90%, with on-time defined as "no more than one minute early or five minutes late".

I suspect your travel vlogs don't accurately reflect everyone's experiences and shouldn't be used to judge overall reliability or on-time statistics.

I could tell you about a 14-hour flight I took between Dallas and Charleston (lots of storms, lots of reroutes, crew timed out, etc.). I could have made that a 14-hour long video for you to watch. Is it indicative of the typical trip between these two cities or just a single example and potentially a massive outlier? Should you assume it normally takes 14 hours to fly that distance in the US and that's a typical experience of a flier?

Personally every time I've taken an inter-city bus its been a smooth trip and pretty much on-time, I can't think of a time I was over 15 minutes late. Every time I've been on a chartered bus it was on-time. Every time I've picked someone up at the bus terminal they were within 5 minutes. That's a little over dozen experiences over the years in total. Admittedly, a bit luckier than average looking at the actual statistics. How many vlogs have you watched? How many times have you actually taken a Greyhound or similar?
