"So when are they going to put Federal Air Marshals on the old Greyhound bus?"

That's gotta feel like a demotion.

Yeah, demotion for sure. Can you see somebody asking this guy what he does for a living and he is ashamed?

Hey I ride trains and buses. Nothing shameful about that. An average bus has about 50 passengers (including kids) and a mean bus driver. Amtrak carries probably several hundred people on a train. It costs more than flying but I like the sleeper coach. It might not sound as prestigious but any marshal on board would be just as important as an AM .

I don't think so....
Planes are relatively very safe.
Trains are much harder work I would think to monitor and police. So you have to be even better at what you're doing.
People constantly getting off and on every 5 minutes as they carry folks in and out of the burbs.

"Bus Marshal" doesn't have quite the same ring to it, nope.
