Buses are a great way to travel in many cases. I did a monthly 400 mile round trip by bus for well over 10 years. In almost 300 trips, the bus was late only a couple times. I saved a lot of money and was responsible for a lot less pollution. It was fun to enjoy the scenery and relax with a book. Many of the buses even have free wi-fi now and outlets for charging your phone, tablet or laptop.
