Travel Guide: Bus travel

LOVE them or loathe them, bus journeys are a way of life for many people. Usually offering prices far below train or plane, they are seen by some as the preserve of the hard-up, and by others as the best way to travel. In Europe it is surprisingly hard to find good bus information, usually because services are local (in which case search for the city), or seriously long distance. Therefore this section contents itself with the following short selection of links:
