Take A Bus For Adventure

By Mari Orr


Ever wanted to take a road trip and did not really want to deal with the drive. It is possible to just that without the hassles of paying a lot in gas. Start out with a short one by taking a bus from Los Angeles to San Diego. This trip will take right about two and a half hours depending on whereabouts you leave from.

There are several ways that you can take a trip like this. Obviously there is your typical Greyhound bus that you can take. They generally charge less than the private companies, and you might have one or two stops more. However, you will have a low fare either one way or round trip. If you opt to take a privately owned bus, generally the fares are much more than Greyhound, however you are assured the bus is nice and your seat mate probably will not be someone that looks homeless.

Costs can run anywhere from under twenty dollars one way to less than fifty round trip on Greyhound. Private buses charge more than fifty for a one way ticket and slightly less than a hundred for a round trip one. Instead of having one central location for pickup like Greyhound, private companies normally schedule pickups from hotels in the greater Los Angeles area.

Travelers enjoy a very pleasant atmosphere provided on luxury buses where Wi-Fi services are often offered. Other companies focus more on express services that get riders to a destination quickly. Finally, there are companies that cater more towards the tourist and provide comments periodically during the ride.

Of course, this does not take into consideration the fact that you could also take public buses between the two cities. If you have lots of time on your hands and you feel like a bit of adventure this is certainly possible. Many people have done their research and mapped out the routes enabling them to take public transit the entire way. This method would actually save you the most money yet take the most time.

So, just know there are many possibilities offered. Once you have a budget and date set, determine which option is best for you. After mapping out what you want, book your bus from los angeles to san diego and head out for your adventure.
