Sure you could take a plane and arrive at your destination in a couple hours, or you could take a train and get there pretty quickly, and while it may be the slowest method nothing beats traveling by bus.
1. No baggage fees
Brought a bag over 50 pounds? Brought 3 bags? No worries! Just throw it in the back of the bus, no extra fees required. Traveling by bus is an overpacker's daydream.
2. No strict baggage rules
Never again will you have to worry about tsa approved size limits. You can even bring your dinner on the bus with you.
3. Free Wifi
Because not everyone has unlimited data.
4. Cell service
Not having to put your phone on airplane mode for 3 hours is definitely a luxury.
5. Outlets
With outlets under or above each seat, you can binge watch netflix to your heart's content.
6. Cheap tickets
With tickets starting as low as $1, there's no beating bus prices.
7. Window seats
Instead of just staring at clouds for a couple hours like you would on an airplane, you actually have scenery to look at. It's like a road trip, but you don't have to pay for gas, and you don't have to take turns driving.
8. Rest stops
All buses make pit stops every couple hours, normally at a welcome center or gas station with a variety of different food options.
9. Space
Sometimes if the bus is really full you might have to sit next to someone, but at least you'll always have leg room.
10. The rocking of the bus to put you to sleep
Nothing beats the dull hum of the bus at night when you go to sleep. And when you wake up you'll be in another state, that much closer to your destination.
