9-year old used to ride bus alone, Columbia-Louisville and back

Going to the orthodontist in Louisville was an adventure, and Columbia attorney Hunter Durham remembers, 'I miss the Greyhounds traveling this area. Of course we traveled over Muldraugh Hill, the old Campbellsville Road, and across narrow bridges, but without any problem.'

By Hunter Durham

There used to be two trips each day from Columbia to Louisville, through Campbellsville, Lebanon, Bardstown, and on into Louisville to the bus station at 4th & Broadway.



I had brades on my teeth an dneed to see the doctor in Louisville, whose office was in the Starks Building on 4th Street.

Stewart Standifer was the morning dirver and I can't remember the driver who left at about noon or just after that.

I would, as a nine-year-old boy, ride the bus by myself during the week, walk three blocks from the Louisville Bus Station, see the dentist, then go to a movie and return on the 3:30 bus to Columbia.

The drivers were extremely nice and I often would stand in the doorway and talk to the driver.

I miss the Greyhounds traveling this area. Of course we traveled over Muldraugh Hill, the old Campbellsville Road, and across narrow bridges, but without any problem. - Hunter Durham
