Oh, the internet, making it possible to play a game, watch a tv show, listen to a podcast and go grocery shopping all at once. This will make your Trailways Bus trip feel easy and fast, until your battery is about to die, and you forgot your charger.

Thankfully for you, our Trailways Buses include electrical outlets so you can keep your phone going throughout the entire trip. Just because you were able to save money on bus tickets, doesn’t mean you won’t have the great quality that comes with taking a Trailways bus.

Do we even have to remind you to bring your smart phone? If you’re anything like me you get nervous if your phone isn’t within reach for 5 minutes. Make sure your phone’s ready to go as it has everything your need for your Trailways Bus trip. First show your mobile boarding pass to the driver when you get on board, then pick how you want to spend the next few hours. Watch videos about making yard work easier, play your favorite game or plan your trip with our free on-board Wi-Fi.

I don’t know what it is about a long drive that makes you want to take a nap. They best part of taking a Trailways Bus is you can sit back, relax and sleep through your ride. Having a comfortable neck pillow will make your ride both comfortable and make sure you don’t have a stiff neck when you get to your destination.
