Light snacks and drinks are permitted. Please avoid foods or drinks with strong odors, alcoholic beverages, noisy foods, and anything that may easily spill.
On overnight buses, eating is not permitted after the lights are turned off.
Please be considerate of other passengers when bringing food and drinks on board.
Please refrain from making or receiving phone calls while on board. We recommend setting your phone to silent mode or turning it off.
On overnight buses, most passengers will be sleeping after the lights are turned off. Please be considerate of other passengers and keep screen brightness and light to a minimum.
Smoking is not permitted on the bus, including e-cigarettes. If you wish to smoke, please do so during rest stops at service areas or other designated stops.
Most bus operators provide restroom breaks. Regardless of whether the bus has an onboard restroom, highway buses generally stop for a break every two to three hours.
After departure, the driver will announce the service areas where breaks are scheduled. Please note that scheduled rest stops may change depending on traffic and operating conditions.
On some buses with onboard restrooms, the bus may stop at a service area only for a driver change, without a passenger break.
If you need to use the restroom at a service area during such a stop, please check the departure time and let the driver know before leaving the bus. The bus will depart at the time announced by the driver, so please be sure to return on time.
No. You cannot board or get off the bus at a service area. You may only board and get off at designated stops. We apologize, but boarding or getting off at any other location is not permitted.
Lighting and rest stop announcements vary by bus operator.
On overnight buses, the cabin lights are usually turned off some time after departure.
Announcements and lighting during rest stops also vary by bus operator. Some operators provide both announcements and lighting, while others make announcements only at departure and use only low-level lighting around the foot area during rest stops.
Scheduled rest stops are provided as a guide and may change depending on traffic and operating conditions.
