Travel tips
Book in advance
If you don’t know by now, Megabus offers seats for as low as $1 each way between select cites. But these
elusive $1 fares go quickly, and the price goes up as demand increases. Don’t wait until the cost of your bus fare
is nearly as much as a plane ticket – the appeal of the bus is that it’s cheap! Book as far in advance as you can to
get the best rate.
Know before you go
Get the scoop on what your bus offers in terms of power outlets and wi-fi so that you can plan your in-bus
diversions accordingly. On some buses, only certain seats have power outlets, so if you’ll need to juice up your
electronics, you’ll want to know where to sit. On the new site BusJunction.com, you can check routes, prices and
schedules from multiple bus companies, plus see what amenities are offered on your bus. You can also read
Yelp reviews to see what kind of experience others have had.
Pack light and put your luggage in last
With no restrictions or extra fees for luggage, it’s easy to go crazy and pack way more than you need. But
remember there is still limited space on the bus, and everyone’s luggage needs to fit in the cargo hold. Plus the
more everyone brings, the longer it takes to load and unload all the bags. If you’ll be in a hurry to grab your
luggage and go once you arrive at your destination, be sure to put your luggage in last so that it is the first out. If
you are bringing a smaller bag, just stow it underneath your seat.
Snag the good seats
If you don’t need to be close to a power outlet, you may think one seat is as good as another. Not so. A few seats
on most buses have more leg room than others. On double-decker buses, the seats just after the stairwells, and
the two seats in the very front by the window have the most room. But, if you are partial to motion sickness, steer
clear of the front seats – the unobstructed view may make you queasy. Avoid sitting by the trash or by the
bathrooms for obvious reasons.
Try to get on first so you have more time to pick your seat. If you are traveling with someone else, have them
handle the luggage while you get seats, or just stow your stuff under your seat so you can get on before the rush.
Check to make sure that your seat reclines and move if it doesn’t. If your seatmate has an odor issue, doesn’t
understand the concept of personal space, or has his or her headphones on so loud you can hear the music
clearly, get up and move to another seat to save yourself the inevitable hassle later.
Watch your valuables
Petty theft seems to happen more in and around buses than other forms of transportation. Use common sense
and keep an eye on your valuables at all time. Keep your purse or bag at your feet rather than putting it above
your head, especially if you plan on dozing off, and avoid showing off your valuables at any time. If you get up to
go to the bathroom or get off the bus, make sure to bring anything of value with you.
Bring a snack for emergencies
Buses on most log-haul routes (generally of 5-6 hours or more) will stop for a short break at a rest stop so that
passengers can get something to eat. Usually this will happen half-way through the ride, but buses sometimes
break down or get stuck in traffic. If you get cranky when you don’t eat on a regular schedule, bring a snack that
travels well, like some almonds or a granola bar. The dining options available are often limited, so consider that if
you are on a special diet. Bring water, but go easy on the liquids. As the ride goes on, the condition of the
bathroom deteriorates, and you don’t want to be forced to use it when you are almost to your destination.
Bring distractions, but be polite
Just as you would for a long plane or train ride, bring an arsenal of things to keep you busy. If reading in a
moving vehicle makes you nauseous, bring a portable DVD player or laptop and watch movies, listen to an iPod,
or plan to take a nap. But keep your entertainment to yourself. Use your headphones and keep the volume low,
and keep your phone calls to a minimum. No one wants to listen to your 3-hour long conversation.
Know that you get what you pay for
Bus travel is cheap, but it can try your patience. Remember that the service is often cheap for a reason, and that
by saving money, you do run the risk of being bored, stuck in traffic, listening to someone’s obnoxious music
blasting from their headphones, with your only option for dinner the $1.99 steak and eggs special at the roadside
truck-stop diner (okay, I’ve never had it that bad!). Consider what your time is worth and you may opt to pay a
little extra to fly next time. If you do decide to take the bus, just remember to pack the most important thing of all –
your patience.

Good article. It is extremely unfortunate that over the last one decade, the travel industry has had to handle terrorism, SARS, tsunamis, influenza, swine flu, plus the first ever entire global economic depression. Through it the industry has proven to be robust, resilient and dynamic, acquiring new solutions to deal with hardship. There are continually fresh troubles and the possiblility to which the market must once more adapt and respond.
My developer is trying to convince me to move to .net from PHP. I have always disliked the idea because of the expenses. But he’s tryiong none the less. I’ve been using Movable-type on several websites for about a year and am nervous about switching to another platform. I have heard good things about blogengine.net. Is there a way I can import all my wordpress posts into it? Any kind of help would be really appreciated!
In my opinion that a property foreclosure can have a important effect on the borrower’s life. Home foreclosures can have a Seven to several years negative relation to a client’s credit report. A borrower who may have applied for a home loan or almost any loans for instance, knows that the actual worse credit rating is usually, the more hard it is for any decent loan. In addition, it can affect any borrower’s capability to find a really good place to let or rent, if that turns into the alternative houses solution. Great blog post.
Do you mind if I quote a couple of your articles as long as I provide credit and sources back to your webpage? My blog is in the exact same niche as yours and my users would really benefit from some of the information you provide here. Please let me know if this alright with you. Regards!

Something else is that when looking for a good internet electronics store, look for web shops that are frequently updated, preserving up-to-date with the hottest products, the most beneficial deals, as well as helpful information on products. This will ensure you are doing business with a shop that stays atop the competition and provide you things to make educated, well-informed electronics buying. Thanks for the significant tips I have learned through the blog.
Amazing! This blog looks exactly like my old one! It’s on a totally different subject but it has pretty much the same page layout and design. Great choice of colors!
I have observed that over the course of making a relationship with real estate proprietors, you’ll be able to come to understand that, in each and every real estate exchange, a fee is paid. Ultimately, FSBO sellers really don’t “save” the commission. Rather, they try to win the commission through doing a good agent’s job. In completing this task, they commit their money along with time to conduct, as best they will, the tasks of an adviser. Those obligations include uncovering the home by way of marketing, representing the home to prospective buyers, building a sense of buyer urgency in order to make prompt an offer, making arrangement for home inspections, dealing with qualification investigations with the lender, supervising maintenance tasks, and facilitating the closing.
Another issue is that video games are usually serious anyway with the primary focus on learning rather than entertainment. Although, there is an entertainment part to keep your sons or daughters engaged, each game is often designed to develop a specific set of skills or course, such as mathematics or scientific discipline. Thanks for your article.
Helpful info. Fortunate me I found your web site unintentionally, and I am shocked why this twist of fate did not took place in advance! I bookmarked it.
Thank you for another informative website. Where else could I get that kind of info written in such an ideal way? I have a project that I’m just now working on, and I’ve been on the look out for such information.

Can I just say what a relief to find somebody who actually is aware of what theyre talking about on the internet. You positively know methods to convey a problem to light and make it important.

Currently it sounds like WordPress is the preferred blogging platform available right now. (from what I’ve read) Is that what you’re using on your blog?
What i don’t understood is in truth how you’re not actually a lot more smartly-liked than you may be now. You’re very intelligent. You know therefore considerably in terms of this topic, produced me personally imagine it from so many varied angles. Its like men and women are not fascinated unless it?s something to accomplish with Woman gaga! Your own stuffs excellent. At all times handle it up!
An attention-grabbing dialogue is value comment. I feel that you must write extra on this topic, it won’t be a taboo subject however generally individuals are not sufficient to speak on such topics. To the next. Cheers
Thank you for this article. I’d personally also like to talk about the fact that it can end up being hard when you find yourself in school and just starting out to establish a long credit standing. There are many students who are just trying to pull through and have an extended or positive credit history are often a difficult matter to have.
Thanks for your submission. I would love to say this that the first thing you will need to conduct is check if you really need credit repair. To do that you simply must get your hands on a copy of your credit profile. That should never be difficult, ever since the government mandates that you are allowed to get one totally free copy of your actual credit report every year. You just have to consult the right folks. You can either look into the website owned by the Federal Trade Commission or maybe contact one of the leading credit agencies immediately.
Spot on with this write-up, I actually think this web site needs rather more consideration. I?ll most likely be again to read rather more, thanks for that info.

Throughout the grand pattern of things you secure a B+ with regard to hard work. Where exactly you actually confused me personally was first on your facts. As it is said, details make or break the argument.. And it could not be much more accurate at this point. Having said that, allow me reveal to you just what did give good results. The authoring is definitely rather powerful and this is most likely why I am taking an effort in order to opine. I do not make it a regular habit of doing that. Secondly, while I can notice the jumps in reason you make, I am not necessarily sure of exactly how you appear to connect your ideas that make your final result. For now I shall yield to your position however trust in the near future you actually connect your dots better.
