Hey, we get it. Bus travel is far from romantic and can be completely frustrating. We've had our fair share of rough rides but we've had some good times too. Like us, millions of passengers hop buses across America every year. Buses can downright cheap and in many towns there is no train service and airports can be hard to reach. Intrepid travelers everywhere ride buses every day of the week so let's show some love.

Who rides the bus? It's like a melting pot on wheels. You'll see little old ladies visiting family or heading to a casino, shoppers heading to the city for a daytrip, college students heading home for the weekend. You'll see guys in suits commute from New Hampshire or Maine to Boston every day. The Greyhound station in Mount Laurel, New Jersey (near Philadelphia) offers a weekly pass for commuters to get to New York City. Now that's a commute. Military recruits ship out on buses every day traveling to basic training or heading home for a few days of well deserved R&R. Backpackers can buy a Discovery Pass and ride buses all day and night for up to 60 days. I've done that many times and I've met many other brave tourists along the way. So who rides the bus? Anyone and everyone.

CasualTourist.com is an on-line guidebook to bus travel in the United States (and soon Canada and Mexico too). Here you'll find hundreds of guidebook entries covering every major city, town and village across the country. We include all of the standard tourist information but this is not just another guidebook. Each entry describes local bus stations and the surrounding neighborhood, transit systems and connections, as well as affordable accommodations, food, and activities. The goal is to give you all of the practical information you need to survive, if not enjoy, an intercity bus trip. Start by searching for your home town or destination in the Index.

In fact, we insist that you do. Casualtourist.com has 1,200+ entries in various stages of development, many written and edited only by readers like you. So when you see missing, incomplete, or outdated information please click that edit button and tell us what's what. You can write a little or a lot. You can update a phone number, correct grammar, write about a bus station, or even edit an entire page. Don't be shy, we need you!
