SO MANY REASONS TO RIDE THE BUS OR THE TRAIN

HELP THE PLANET
Bus travel is a great way to reduce your carbon footprint. Buses, as well as trains, have the lowest CO₂ emissions of any city-to-city transportation. Busbud is committed to earth-friendly living. The more people ride buses, the fewer cars on the road.

SEE THE SIGHTS
You can see so much more from the vantage point of a bus or a train. Pick a window seat and watch the miles slide by.

WORK ON-THE-MOVE
Work while you travel (if that’s your thing). Many buses and trains offer Wi-Fi, so you can get stuff done while you’re going places.

RELAX AND RIDE
Sit back and let your driver handle the road. What better place than a bus or a train to listen to music, daydream, or catch up on a bit of sleep?

Busbud. Travel, with a smile.

Ratings and reviews

I bought a refundable add on for my bus ticket. Little did I know that the bus ticket is only refundable upon very specific conditions in which you cannot travel. On the booking confirmation and the add on option it did not clearly say that the refund option was conditional. I have spoken to multiple people and no one is willing to give me the refund I am kindly asking for. If you have a PURCHASABLE add on that allows refunds, it is ridiculous to have those refunds be conditional and not explici

I had a bad experience. I couldn't easily find the ticket's QR code. There's a button at the end of the ticket details page that doesn't work on my Galaxy S22 Ultra. Additionally, the orange button downloads a PDF file, which isn't easy to manage.

I bought round-trip bus tickets between two cities in Mexico. The app and the pdf of the tickets didn't list the correct address of the bus station. The app also had a map to the station which was inaccurate. Their customer service was pretty quick to refund us. I'd give the app another try when traveling in the US, but will be careful using it abroad.
