The Canadian BP stops all busses and trains and check everyone, even waking up sleepers at the borders. If there's children on the bus or in the vehicle, they check for valid ID and notes to insure the kids aren't going across without permission.
The Passport card is only $55 with the picture at a post office, so is it possible he might have gotten one and forgot he had it?

Since the Ohio DL looks nothing like the Passport Card, he either forgot he had or lost (or sold) his Passport ID, or he must have been picked up by a Canadian on the US side to have gotten across without being checked for ID going that way, and is stretching it about taking the Greyhound into Canada.
