Buses.

⇑ TopBusesTrainsAirportsWaterwaysCarLinks.

If you’re travelling on your own and plan on making a lot of stops, buses are by far the cheapest way to get around. Out in the country, buses are fairly scarce, sometimes appearing only once a day, if at all. However, along the main highways, buses run around the clock to a full timetable, stopping only for meal breaks (almost always fast-food chains) and driver changeovers.

Major bus companies include: BoltBus • Greyhound • Jefferson Lines • Megabus • Peter Pan • TrailwaysChinatown buses

GoToBus.com is the leading go-to website for booking inter-city bus ticket online. Intercity bus travel is widespread, but not available everywhere.

To avoid possible hassle, travellers should take care to sit as near to the driver as possible, and to arrive during daylight hours – many bus stations are in dodgy areas.

ROADTRIPPERS – #1 road trip planning platform.

For many, the concept of cruising down the highway, preferably in a convertible with the radio blasting, is one of the main reasons to set out on a tour of the USA. The romantic images of countless road movies are not far from the truth, though you don’t have to embark on a wild spree of drinking, drugs and sex to enjoy driving across America.

America’s love affair with the automobile is legendary, so travelling the United States without a car can be difficult.
