Maybe Concord Tailways is odd in this regard ...
Why do I have to show a photo I.D. to ride the bus?Concord Trailways requires a photo I.D. for all passengers traveling with an adult ticket. We do not require identification for children under the age of 12 traveling with a parent or guardian, however, if they are traveling alone, they will need a school I.D., passport, or copy of their birth certificate. Children under the age of 17 with no photo I.D. must be accompanied by an adult with a photo I.D. upon purchasing a ticket. These are security measures that we take in the event that there is an emergency and allows us to assist officials in identifying who traveled on a particular day. We do not generate passenger lists for each bus, therefore, we require you to show your I.D. each time you travel. This information is not stored in our system. We print your name on the ticket to ensure that you are the person traveling (see Ticketing Information). If you have questions on acceptable forms of I.D. or special circumstances, please contact the Information Center directly at 1-800-639-3317. Our General Information section of the website also contains this information.

October 31, 2001Dear Valued Greyhound Customer:
Making bus travel even safer is a responsibility we take seriously. We have made some changes in our security programs that began after the terrorist attacks in September. Here are some highlights of our safety enhancements: ...
- Requiring positive identification from all passengers in certain locations.
Exactly - so the bus line would "KNOW" these are illegal aliens at least as much as Wells Fargo - I fail to see the difference really.
Either they are not carrying through or I was not at one of their "certain locations" because in October of 2003 I rode and never showed ID.
They did ask me for my name but did not ask for any proof.
