Travel By Bus

The only Florida statewide bus service is Greyhound www.greyhound.com

This connects all major and midsize Florida cities, but not always smaller towns (even some popular beach towns). Regional or city-run buses cover Greyhound's more limited areas much better; used together, these bus systems make travel by bus possible, but time-consuming. Megabus operates out of five Florida cities – Tallahassee, Jacksonville, Gainesville, Tampa, and Miami.

It's always a bit cheaper to take a Greyhound bus during the week than on the weekend. Fares for children are usually about half the adult fare.

Here's a website that can help you find cheap bus tickets for your trip to easily compare and book your next trip with Busbud - www.busbud.com
