Night Bus Travel

If you're looking to save money on travel costs, night buses can be a very economical option for would be travelers.

There are a variety of companies you can book with and all the buses are fairly similar. Some have toilets, some don't, but either way the bus will make a number of rest stops throughout your journey so you can stretch your legs, grab a snack or use a toilet.

Night buses are a great option if you can sleep through anything, but if you're a light or fussy sleeper you might want to research other options.
