DENVER (CBS4)- A Greyhound bus bound for Denver made a pit stop at a motel in Kansas so the driver could rest. The catch - the passengers on board had no idea where he was going or for how long.
The driver left dozens of passengers stranded on the bus for hours outside the La Quinta motel in Salina, Kan. while he went inside to catch up on some sleep.
The bus pulled into the motel late Tuesday afternoon. The driver got off without telling anyone where he was going.
Passengers initially thought it was going to be a quick stop but when the driver didn't come back, they called both the bus company and police.
"We haven't seen the driver. We're sitting here and sitting here. I had to keep the bus running because we have newborns and children... it's getting cold," said one passenger.
Greyhound said the driver had to finish his federally-regulated rest hours. The company also said the passengers could have waited inside a fast food restaurant to keep warm.

Nope. Just lift off the accelerator. It was a small bus with a big motor
How homophobic of me...
I'll leave the driving to me.
Mega bus is in Tampa...we might take it to Ft Meyers to see the Red Sox Spring Training...
Next time take the bus, and leave the sleeping to us.
You haven’t ridden a bus, until you’ve taken the bus from Olongapo to Angeles City in the Philippines.
My friend who can’t drive (vision problems) had to go from Tampa to NY City...she took a Chinese bus company...she was the only Anglo on the bus. She said never again, she’ll take Amtrak.
Oh hell yes. I decided to see the countryside after a transfer off a ship and took a jeepney to Clark AFB. Hooyah!
Awesome trip. At a waypoint I had the best lumpia I've ever had and a couple of icy San Miguels. I do believe it's a waypoint to Heaven.
I have found from experience that the one thing that is certain to keep you awake far longer than anything else is almost getting into an accident because you were drowsy.
Matter of fact, last time I did that nearly forty years ago, it still keeps me awake when driving today.
One I heard of the husband fell asleep and he was the only survivor. I often think of the pain he must be experiencing.
Yeah he could have been their Batman!
