Bus Travel Between Cities
In addition to traveling by car or plane, one can travel between cities by bus. Some buses travel directly from the departure to arrival point, while others will stop at locations along the way. Passengers should know in advance when to get off the bus. If asked, the driver will usually announce the stop. If the drive is long, the bus usually makes stops where passengers can use the toilet and buy snacks (even if the bus has a restroom).
