ATLANTA —
After Monday’s winter storm, icy roads stalled the buses, preventing hundreds of riders from getting to their destinations.
Emotions were running so high at the station, that some passengers took the situation into their own hands.
Stranded Greyhound Passengers Upset
"I took it upon myself to call McDonalds’ corporate office in Chicago and they connected me to the southern region here and the McDonalds here down the street … he brought food for everybody, but that's something they should do. Greyhound, they made millions of dollars," said passenger Valencia Dantzler.
Citizens also called the Mayor’s Office of Atlanta to complain of not having any food, Atlanta police spokeswoman Kim Jones said. She said Atlanta police were alerted of the incident around 11 p.m. and instructed the city jail to prepare sandwiches for the stranded riders.
“The riders were orderly and grateful for receiving the food,” Jones said.
She said blankets and bottled water were also handed out. More food was brought to the station Tuesday morning.
