Riding on a bus to a special event can be an exciting occasion. There is something relaxing about kicking back as someone else handles the driving. Rather than having to worry about finding parking for your special event, you can simply focus on enjoying it. However, there are a lot of ways that you can make your trip on the bus more enjoyable.

Don't Bring Too Much

Make sure to pack lightly. You will likely not have a lot of space on the bus, and it will be less comfortable if you have a large bag taking up space. Understand the policy for carried luggage.

Bring Food and Drinks

Bring drinks with you. You may even want to bring snacks if you'll be going on a long trip. If you think you'll be hungry, buying food at a convenience store is more expensive than bringing your own food. Many buses come with air conditioning, but you'll be much more comfortable with a cold drink. 

Sit in the Right Spot

The bus will feel bumpier in the back. Instead, try to sit in the middle of the bus. If the middle is taken, try to sit in the front. If you are by yourself, look for a seat where you won't sit next to someone else, unless you're in the mood to get to know someone new.

Dress Comfortably

Taking off your shoes can make the ride feel more comfortable. You'll feel more like you're sitting at home relaxing. Wear loose-fitting clothing. Sweaters are great for bus travel. Wearing more than one layer can make you feel more comfortable because the AC can cause the bus to become cold quickly. You might have other passengers turning up the air since many buses allow you to control the circulation of air to your seat. 

Use Rest Stops

If the trip is long enough to have a rest stop, take advantage of it. Not only can you use the restroom, but you'll also have a chance to stretch your legs. Having to sit in one place for a long time can make you feel restless.

Relax

Bus trips are relaxing because it's a great opportunity to do whatever you need to do. You can socialize with those you're traveling with, listen to some music, and even take advantage of Wi-Fi to get some work done without having to worry about distractions. If you're traveling during the day, you can relax and simply enjoy the scenery out the window.
