She claims that one time she took a reservation from a woman, and told her that there was a special "buffet service" available, and that the bus would pick her up at her house! Tad Cook tad@ssc.UUCP [Moderator's Note: That is weird. The Chicago Greyhound-Trailways Terminal gave schedule information on 312-FInancial 6-5000 for about forty years. Only recently they installed a centrex system, in the 312-781-29xx series, and give schedule/fare information on 781-2900. Does her cell phone number come anywhere close to that? PT]
