Luxury Buses – A New Way of Travel

When you think of an intercity bus ride, most of the time it does not equate to traveling in luxury. However, a number of bus services around the country are providing a luxury bus experience on their intercity routes. Especially in areas where air and rail service is either rare or expensive. These bus rides provide a business class like experience with service onboard such as comfortable seats, extra legroom, complimentary drinks and meal. They are essentially dispelling the negative stereotype of an uncomfortable long-haul bus ride. Essentially, they are typically much more comfortable than a plane and at times even the Amtrak.

Fares usually average around double when compared to regular bus fares but these bus services are worth every penny when traveling in comfort and a good deal is what you are after!  We have put together an overview of a number of luxury bus providers that provide you this very service.
