Bus Travel

This topic covers airport, city, intercity, sightseeing tour buses and charter buses worldwide. Oh how we love those big, beautiful tour buses! Wikipedia has a good article on buses and good links to other websites. We have a good World Bus Websites table at the bottom of this page by region and major countries of the world. Also see our Bus Charter travel topic.

Search The Web
Sometimes the fastest way to find specific bus information is just to do a web search. We suggest the following: Note: It doesn't seem to matter much whether you use Bus or Buses in a search. For City and Intercity Bus searches, the term bus service works well. But you can also try bus companies and bus operators or bus lines as well. For Sightseeing Tour Bus searches, the term tour bus or just bus will do fine along with the word Sightseeing and the name of the place.
Of course, you can also add or replace service with other words such as schedule, price, cost, etc. to your search or a specific bus company. Include the country if a city name may have a duplicate or if you get a city in a different country than the one you wanted on your first try.
