How to Find Cheap Bus Tickets in the USA…Starting at $1!

Not only is traveling by bus an easy way to get around, but it’s also one of the least expensive. Want to make sure you are getting the best bang for your buck? Then follow the steps below to ensure you save money on your next US bus trip.

Bus traveling through Utah

Do your research
Not all websites are created equal. Much like airplane and train tickets prices, but ticket prices vary from one resource to the next. Be sure to do your research and compare companies and prices. Busbud can help you do that as we’ve collected all the info you need and put it in one place, so comparing prices, schedules, and providers is a breeze.

Make off-season travel plans
Summer and holiday periods are when bus tickets tend to be highest. If you’re looking to see the US in spring or fall, then buy your bus tickets during off season months. These are still ideal times to travel and prices will reflect that.

Choose your provider wisely
Some bus companies provide luxury services, while others simple take you from point A to point B at little cost. Are you looking to save as much as possible? Go with BoltBus (Greyhound’s budget express service) or Megabus for lower fares than its competitors.

Ride the bus for…$1!
The answer is: Yes! You’ve probably heard about $1 bus tickets – and they’re no myth. How can you find an intercity bus ride for just $1? Both BoltBus and Megabus are known for their economical services and both offer bus tickets for as little as $1. How is this possible? Low fares are quite popular in travel, including the airline industry: If seats are free, they end up being sold at a lower price. The bus companies reserve a small number of tickets that they sell for a dollar.

If you have any questions, we’d be thrilled to help you! Contact us at + 1-888-988-5185, and we’ll do our best to find a solution for your travel plans.
