Taking an overnight bus while traveling is often a great option. Not only can you cover a lot of ground without losing time, but you can also save money on a flight or hotel room.
The journey itself, however, can be challenging—especially your first time.
After taking numerous overnight buses over the years, I’ve come up with a list of tips that will hopefully make your experience easier and safer—and one during which you can sleep easy.
Moving beyond basic safety, there’s ‘survival’—that is, making the journey more comfortable and bearable.
SLEEP On The Night Bus
When it’s time to sleep, you’ll want to drown out the noise.
I recommend earplugs, which you can buy at an electronics store.
An eye mask is also important. It helps block out light from inside the bus at night and in the morning, when the sun coming in through the windows can make you feel like a vampire.
