The new Greyhound

With the airlines canceling service to small towns there is a need for people to get to and from large cities to catch flights. This will mean that non stop bus service can fill the niche. Yes fuel for buses has gotten more expensive but not like jet fuel. Plus buses can hold more people than a regional jet. If the airlines partner with the bus companies they can offer regional service that still fits the flight schedule. Yes a bus is slower and less glamorous but it beats having to drive. To be successful the bus companies are going to have to reinvent themselves with plane type service and airport like amenities in the stations. This will mean the need for new buses and terminals just off site from the airports.
