Greyhound shipping shenanigans
A friend of mine once rode Greyhound from a central FL city, to LaBelle, a small town on the opposite coast from Miami.
I can drive that straight in about 2 hours.
The bus zig-zagged back and forth across both halves of the state (and around Lake Okeechobee) and stopped at every little town.
48 hours.
Just some perspective.
