]]>A pillow is your best ally for making sure you stay physically comfortable while riding on a bus. Whether you need support for your lumbar region or a place to rest your head as you try to get some shut-eye, pillows are a key ally in the fight for comfort while doing some bus travel.
Traveling on a bus can be a disorienting experience for your stomach, as nausea is a common problem thanks to your inability to see the horizon and the bumpiness and curviness of the roads. Take medication like Dramamine or natural supplements like peppermint to feel better.
Unfortunately, buses can be a noisy place especially if you have chatty people onboard or if your bus is old and its engines make a racket. Take some headphones with you, which will allow you to listen to calming music or watch a film in peace.

]]>In most cities, you will have multiple options for getting around on public transportation. What many people fail to realize, however, is that certain options may be more expensive than others. Be sure to check prices for each available public transportation option and don’t be afraid to choose the cheapest one.
If you are planning to use a city’s public transportation system with regularity during your visit, you will almost always find that it is cheaper to buy a multi-day or multi-trip pass that gives you discounted fares on individual rides. Do some research on the public transportation system’s website before you leave in order to know what your best option is.
Many cities with public transportation systems have implemented a scheme in which it is cheaper to travel during off-peak hours than it is during the times when people are generally commuting. Leave early and go back to your hotel late if you want to save on fares.

]]>However, it’s also the least comfortable way of traveling, especially if your trip is a 10+ hour one. Here are some ways you can make it easier and more enjoyable for yourself:
The most important thing you can do is put your most comfortable clothes on. Whether it’s a sweatshirt or a pair of tights, make sure it’s something you’ll be okay with wearing for a longer period of time. Soft, breathable fabrics are your best friend here. Also, make sure to wear comfy shoes, or even bring some cozy slippers to change into when your feet start to hurt.
Falling asleep in a bus can be challenging, especially if you’re traveling at night. Small seats and uncomfortable angles are bound to give you neck and backaches in no time. To prevent this, bring a small travel pillow, one you can easily carry in your bag. You won’t make a mistake if you bring a blanket as well since the bus can get pretty cold, especially if the air conditioning is turned up high.
While your appetite might grow during a long and tedious trip, it is better to eat lightly and be careful not to eat something that will upset your stomach. There’s nothing worse than traveling with a tummy ache. Bring lots of water, but try not to overdrink. You never know when the next stop will be, and that can be risky, especially if the bus doesn’t come with its own toilet.
Your muscles can easily get sore from the uncomfortable sitting position. Grab the opportunity to take a little walk and stretch out your legs every time the bus stops for a break. Your body will be grateful for it and you will feel refreshed.
Before buying your ticket, make sure the bus you’re traveling with has Wi-Fi. As a back-up, fill your phone with all your favorite music, audio-books or podcasts. Enjoying all the things you love makes a great distraction, and it will seem like you’ve arrived at your destination in no time.
