You may also sometimes get heavy discounts if you book seats many months before. Remember, quicker you place the order & reserve your seats in the buses, better are the chances to avail good services (from seats of choice to discounts on the tickets). Most of the people think to place the order at the last stage but this generally looses traveller’s pocket, as the fares get double if you book the seats at the last moment, also you may deal with the less availability of the seats or the seats full option.

    Be aware of the services: Check on the list of the services that buses offer like the availability of power switches, proper leg spacing, wi-fi connection, etc. By this, you can easily plan your in-bus diversions; stay connected to your loved ones, friends and can easily spend your time if get bored in the long journey of the bus. Generally, there are certain seats that have power outlets, so plan, and be aware of the seat available to you.

While booking seats online, you have the option for reading the reviews, which give a clear picture of the bus online company and shows the real experience of other travellers.

    Light packing: While travelling it is always recommended to have the light luggage, not because of the less space in bus but because more the luggage you will carry, more responsible you have to be. Most of the times, travellers carry huge luggage and pack things more than they need. Remember, more the luggage you bring, more you have to take care and handle them. If you have light and easy going bags in your travelling time, the best and most convenient way is to put it under your seat, doing this, you can easily take out the things required by you.
