Can you live on a tour bus?

(It's true.) But there are a lot of other little quirks to living on a tour bus that I figured out over the last five months of living on one. Tour busses can be laid out a bunch of different ways. For our show, there were 9 of us living on our bus and it had 12 bunks.

Sit In the Middle of the Bus If you have the opportunity to choose where to sit on your next long bus trip, try to find a seat towards the middle of the bus. Back seats tend to make for bumpier rides that could prevent you from getting your beauty sleep, especially if you wake up easily on overnight buses.

Choose a seat toward the middle of the bus If you can't find a seat near the middle of the bus, near the front is your next best choice. This is where an eye mask can come in handy if you're riding at night so that beams from headlights and street lamps don't keep you awake.

I have used Flixbus several times in Europe and Greyhound twice in the USA. Flixbus is way better than Greyhound in all areas such as comfort, facilities, leg space etc. Prices are almost same in both companies. If I were to give scores to both bus companies, I would give Greyhound 5 and Flixbus 8 out of 10.
