Planning your bus trip Before
buying tickets for your bus trip, the first step is to research the available transportation options for your chosen destination. In many cases, the price of the ticket does not pay off, so always check the costs of traveling by plane. For shorter trips, it's worth checking the cost of the trip using a transportation app.
Those who have cars and like to drive can also consider the possibility of using this means of transportation. In this case, remember to consider the cost of fuel and overhauling the vehicle, and do not travel without insurance. After verifying the costs, travel time, advantages and disadvantages of each modality, you will be able to define the best option.
Documents required when traveling by bus
If you decided to travel by bus, the next step is to separate the necessary documentation for your trip. As with air travel, the movement of passengers using the services of bus companies has certain rules related to the presentation of documents
. The following is the list of documents for traveling by bus accepted in the national territory.
Any of the documents listed above is accepted by the prosecutor upon entering the vehicle. It is also essential that the identification document has a photo.
If you have lost your identity document and need to board a bus, you must file a police report (BO) at a police station. This document is accepted upon shipment as long as it has been issued within 30 days of the date of the trip
. Organizing your hand bag
Now that you know how to compare transportation options and what documents are needed to travel, the next step is to assemble your suitcase.
One of the main tips for traveling by bus concerns planning the suitcase and the items that you are going to carry in a hand bag. In the trunk luggage (outside of the bus) place clothes, shoes, and other items needed during
the stay. Inside the bus, in a smaller suitcase or backpack, carry your documents and your higher-value items, such as a notebook, jewelry, and money. Also don't forget to carry water and some snacks, especially if the trip is longer. The bus's air conditioning can be annoying, so have a light blanket or jacket to
wear if you feel cold. Those traveling with children should not forget to bring toys, books and magazines on the bus. Plan some activities for the child to perform during the journey, remembering that they must take place in the armchair, since the child cannot walk down the bus corridor.
