Bus Driver Filter - Any one know a long distance bus driver? [mi]

A friend of mine is doing a feasibility study on new technologies for long distance buses (ie Greyhound) for her design class in computer science. She was hoping she could perform a question/answer survey on a Greyhound busdriver but was stonewalled by their corporate relations, any suggestions?

Go to the bus station and ask when drivers take a break, and where.

Go up to a bus driver, offer him some cash if he spends his lunch filling out your survey. :-)

I doubt bus driver is such a well paying job he'd say no.

Does it have to be Greyhound. Open the phone book and check charter companies. Many of them would probably let you pass their drivers a few dollars to take a survey.
