A nationally recognized reporter, writer, and consumer advocate, Ed Perkins focuses on how travelers can find the best deals and avoid scams.

He is the author of "Online Travel" (2000) and "Business Travel: When It's Your Money" (2004), the first step-by-step guide specifically written for small business and self-employed professional travelers. He was also the co-author of the annual "Best Travel Deals" series from Consumers Union.

Perkins' advice for business travelers is featured on MyBusinessTravel.com , a website devoted to helping small business and self-employed professional travelers find the best value for their travel dollars.

Perkins was founding editor of Consumer Reports Travel Letter, one of the country's most influential travel publications, from which he retired in 1998. He has also written for Business Traveller magazine (London).

Perkins' travel expertise has led to frequent television appearances, including ABC's "Good Morning America" and "This Week with David Brinkley," "The CBS Evening News with Dan Rather," CNN, and numerous local TV and radio stations.

Before editing Consumer Reports Travel Letter, Perkins spent 25 years in travel research and consulting with assignments ranging from national tourism development strategies to the design of computer-based tourism models.

Yes, you can travel in luxury on a bus: A few bus lines around the country are providing luxury bus service on intercity routes up to about 300 miles, especially in areas where air and rail service is either sparse or expensive. To qualify as “luxury,” my primary requirement is that a line must provide one-by two seating, with extra legroom, in a full size intercity bus, along with an onboard lavatory, Wi-Fi and/or streaming TV, snack/drink service, and no-fee baggage checking. That’s all typically much more comfortable than a plane, and sometimes more comfortable than Amtrak. Fares are around double regular bus fares, because the lines fit only 22 to 35 seats into buses that nominally hold 55 to 60 seats, in addition to extra passenger amenities.

I found 10 lines that qualify, listed here alphabetically, with samples of posted one-way fares. Most lines employ capacity-controlled pricing: As buses fill up, fares for remaining seats increase. Most lines also offer a variety of round-trip, multi-ride, frequent-traveler membership, student, and similar discounts. Most require reservations, and pick up and leave travelers on public-street loading zones, or sometimes at hotels.

Editors’ Note: Included fares are accurate at time of publication.

9 Tips to Finally Stop Overpacking

BestBus is one of the many bus lines that operate between New York City and the Washington, D.C. area. Although most of its trips use conventional intercity buses, one or two daily trips feature “Prime” service that offers the necessary luxury mix. At least one trip operates most days nonstop between New York Penn Station and Washington-area drop off points at DuPont Circle and Union Station and three stops in suburban Virginia. The Prime fare for February starts at around $47 one-way, compared with $38-40 for the regular service; trips take four hours and more.

Amtrak offers frequent competition, with trips taking from a bit under three hours (Acela, from $155) to 3:30 hours (Northeast Regional, hovering around at $115 with fares below $100 available on specific dates).

C&J Bus Lines

C&J operates at least two daily trips, all with luxury buses, on two main routes:

  • Connecting Boston with Dover, Portsmouth, and Seabrook New Hampshire. Trips take 55 minutes to Seabrook, at $13.99, to 1:30 to 2 hours to Dover at $14.99, and on average 1:15 to 1:30 to Portsmouth at $14.99.
  • Connecting New York with Andover, Massachusetts as well as Seabrook and Portsmouth, New Hampshire. Trips take 4 hours to Andover, fares are $74. Trips to Seabrook take between 4:30 and 4:45 and trips to Portsmouth take roughly 5:15, fares for both are $84.

Concord Coach Lines

Concord operates several trunk routes, but offers its luxury “Plus Bus” on one daily round trip each on its route connecting New York City with Portland, Maine (6 hours, $79).

Amtrak connects New York with Portland, but a train trip requires changing trains and stations in Boston. The shortest connection for a trip in early March takes six hours and costs $84, including bus transfer between stations in Boston. Competitive air service to Portland for a similar time frame starts at $45 one way.

10 Tips for Long-Distance Amtrak Trips

Dartmouth Coach

Dartmouth Coach operates luxury bus trips at least once daily with extra weekend service between New York City and Hanover/Dartmouth and Lebanon, New Hampshire. Trips take about five hours; fares start at $89. This company is affiliated with Concord Coach Lines and appears to offer a similar luxury product. Dartmouth also operates from the Boston area, but only with conventional buses.

Amtrak does not go near Dartmouth or Lebanon. Flights from New York to Lebanon start at around $134 one way, and require about four hours with a plane change at Boston.

Hampton Jitney

The Hampton Jitney operates between New York and the main eastern Long Island centers, including three to four daily luxury “Ambassador” service trips to/from Montauk, with additional trips to/from Amagansett. Montauk trips take 3:15; fares start at roughly $45.

The competition to the Hamptons is the Long Island Rail Road Montauk line. Montauk trips take 3:15 and cost $22.25 off-peak, $30.50 peak.

Interior of a luxury bus

Red Coach operates a complex network linking Miami with Tallahassee while also serving key intermediate stops. Although it also operates conventional buses, Red Coach operates luxury First Class runs several times daily between Miami and Tallahassee via Orlando. Miami-Tallahassee trips take about nine and a half hours, with fares starting at $99; Orlando-Miami trips take about 4 hours with fares starting at $45.

Red Coach competes with Amtrak, Brightline, and Tri-Met between some South Florida stops, but no rail line operates to/from Tallahassee or between Atlanta and Florida. Miami-Tallahassee nonstop flight fares start at roughly $150 round trip, taking two hours nonstop or over five hours with a layover.

7 Essential Multipurpose Tools for Travel

Tripper Bus Elite

Tripper Bus is one of the many lines that operate between New York City and the Washington DC area. The line runs between two and seven trips each day, and on most days one of those trips uses a luxury “Elite” bus. Trips run between New York City Penn Station area and stops in suburban Bethesda and  Arlington. Travel time is 4:00 hours; Elite class fares start around $60, compared with regular fares which start at $27. See “BestBus” entry for Amtrak and airline competition.

Vamoose Gold

Vamoose is yet another New York-to-Washington bus line that operates a luxury service. “Gold Bus” trips operate three to four times per day between midtown Manhattan and stops in Bethesda, Maryland, and Arlington and Lorton, Virginia. The trips take 4:00 to 4:30 hours to/from Bethesda; 4:40 to/from Arlington; and 5:00 to 5:30 to/from Lorton. Gold Bus fares start at $79, depending on time of day; regular fares start at $49. See “BestBus” entry for Amtrak and airline competition.

Vonlane operates an extensive network of all-luxury bus routes connecting Austin, Dallas, Fort Worth, Houston, Atlanta, and San Antonio. All stops are at city-center hotels except for Dallas, where the terminal is at a Love Field hotel. Sample fares from Houston to Fort Worth are $129; the trip takes four hours.

All Vonlane routes are serviced by multiple airlines, including Southwest. Sample nonstop airfares for Houston-Dallas in late February start at $154 one way, decreasing to under $100 for select dates in March. Amtrak operates one train daily between Oklahoma City and Fort Worth and one train daily Dallas-Austin-San Antonio. Coach fares Dallas-San Antonio start at $37 for a 10-hour trip.

The 16 Best Car Rental Booking Sites

Washington Deluxe

Washington Deluxe is the fourth (on my list) New York-Washington bus line that offers a deluxe option. “LUX” buses operate less than daily between New York/Penn Station and Washington/DuPont Circle. The trip takes 4:00 to 4:30; the fare starts at $35. See “BestBus” entry for Amtrak competition.

TPG's guide to luxury bus travel

Bill Fink

Given the ongoing challenges surrounding air travel — ranging from flight delays and cancellations to lost luggage and long airport queues — staying on the ground may be the easiest (and least stressful) way to get from point A to point B. While taking a road trip or traveling by train may take longer than flying, land travel has its benefits.

To start, the slower journey makes it possible to truly appreciate your surroundings, whether you're traveling between forested mountains or past beautiful city skylines. Not to mention, overland options are generally more environmentally friendly and less expensive than flying.

Sticking to ground transportation doesn't mean you have to make major sacrifices on comfort. Even previously cramped options like buses are evolving to attract all kinds of travelers, including those who enjoy a dose of luxury.

Gone are the days of standard buses being the only option for intercity travel. In recent years, luxury buses have emerged to provide travelers with a stylish take on the classic bus journey.

How exactly are luxury buses different from traditional options, and are they a good fit for you? We took a closer look at this elevated transportation option, including a few noteworthy routes, to find out.

What is a luxury bus?

travelling gold class bus

Luxury buses offer a "first-class travel experience that combines the luxury and personal space of a private jet with the affordability and convenience of a motorcoach," according to The Jet , one of several luxury bus companies that launched in recent years.

Unlike regular buses, luxury options provide several comforts and services more commonly found in the first-class cabin of an airplane.

For example, more space is available between seats, as they're typically arranged in a 1-2 setup across aisles. As a result, you'll enjoy plenty of legroom and space for reclining your seat and using fold-out tables for work or snacking.

Additionally, luxury buses come with a number of conveniences, including free high-speed Wi-Fi as well as complimentary snacks and beverages. You'll also have access to a clean bathroom facility, plus various TV-viewing options and attendant services (on select routes).

Why should you take a luxury bus?

travelling gold class bus

There are several reasons why a luxury bus may be the way to go the next time you travel.

To start, there's the price. A bus ride (even a luxury one) generally costs a fraction of what you would pay for a flight and transportation to and from an airport.

Then there's the convenience of using buses. Intercity buses typically depart from depots in city centers and often offer additional connections at rail and airport terminals, making them easy to reach. Plus, there are no security lines to endure, and you are not required to check in an hour before departure. If you're traveling with luggage, all you have to do is place your bag in the cargo area before you board.

Depending on where you're traveling, you may also find that buses are a more efficient way to reach your destination, as some cities do not offer flight or rail service. They're more environmentally friendly than driving your own car or flying, too, so you can feel good about your journey.

Why should you consider a luxury bus specifically? There is plenty of space as well as amenities on board. If you value having extra elbow room, enjoy creature comforts like snacks and drinks while in transit and want to pay the cheapest price possible, then you'll likely find a luxury bus appealing.

Which luxury bus routes should you consider?

travelling gold class bus

The majority of luxury buses operate between major metropolitan areas and popular tourist destinations. While New York City is a hub for many luxury bus routes, others depart from places such as Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Miami, Houston and Dallas.

There are numerous routes to consider for luxury bus travel, but three in particular stand out from others currently available.

The Jet: New York City to Washington, DC

The Jet luxury bus service runs its route between New York's Hudson Yards and Washington 's Metro Center six days a week. Offering enough space to accommodate a maximum of 14 people, The Jet provides passengers with lots of legroom at their wide seats. Each seat features a specially designed "motion-canceling" technology called HoverSeat designed to absorb all the bumps you may encounter during the ride.

While traveling to the nation's capital, you'll have access to free high-speed Wi-Fi and a restroom with high-end details reminiscent of what you'd find in a hotel bathroom (such as white subway tiles and black brass fixtures). Plus, you'll receive complimentary beverages (think: sodas, coffee, beer and wine) as well as snacks such as chips and trail mix from an onboard attendant. Bus tickets also include two free checked bags and two carry-on bags .

Traveling from New York to Washington takes about four hours and 15 minutes, and prices start at $99 for a one-way trip. Specific seats are available for reservation in advance.

Vonlane: Houston to Austin

Vonlane offers 22-person luxury buses for travel within Texas. While you'll find routes connecting several major cities in the Lone Star State — including Austin, Dallas, Fort Worth, Houston and San Antonio — the Houston-to-Austin itinerary is an especially popular option.

As you ride on a Vonlane bus, you can stay connected with free Wi-Fi from the comfort of an oversized leather seat that also features an extended recline and leg rest. You'll also enjoy complimentary food and drinks served by an onboard attendant; keep in mind that alcohol costs extra. Loaner noise-canceling headphones are free to borrow, as are items such as eye masks, neck pillows, blankets and phone and computer chargers.

The trip from Houston to Austin typically takes two hours and 45 minutes, and it costs at least $114 one-way.

Napaway: Washington, DC, to Nashville

For travel between Washington and Nashville, there's Napaway — a luxury bus operator with overnight sleeper coaches. Passengers book one of 18 "personal suites," which feature two seats that convert into lie-flat beds with memory foam mattress pads. Napaway also provides pillows and blankets for the trip.

Standard amenities include high-speed Wi-Fi, a selection of movies and TV shows to watch from personal devices, fold-out desks and sleep kits with eye masks, toothbrushes and earplugs. Complimentary bottled water is also available, though that's the extent of Napaway's onboard food and beverage options.

The 11-hour overnight Napaway itinerary departs Washington at 10 p.m. on Fridays and arrives in Nashville at 8 a.m. on Saturdays. Tickets cost a minimum of $125 for the one-way trip.

Bottom line

Most people don't consider bus travel to be a luxury experience thanks, in part, to the extra time it adds to the journey. However, several recently launched companies now provide more comfortable and upscale ways to hit the road.

Sure, you'll need to pay a little more for a luxury bus ticket than one in a regular coach, but the service is still an affordable option when compared to flying. Plus, you'll enjoy many of the same amenities you would receive at the front of a plane. So, you don't have to worry about squeezing into a tight space without the necessities to keep you comfortable.

Dubai Metro Tickets and Fares

The Dubai Metro system is one of the most popular ways to travel in Dubai. Not only is it affordable, but it’s also a quick and easy way to get around the city.

We will provide you with all the information you need to know about Dubai Metro tickets and fares. We’ll cover everything from single journey fares to passes, so you can choose the option that best suits your needs.

Modes of public transport in Dubai include the  Dubai Metro ,  Dubai Tram , bus, and water bus.

Journeys can be made using a combination of different modes of transport and paid for using credits added to a contactless travel card (Nol Card).

Dubai’s transport system is divided into 7  zones . The price paid for a journey depends on the number of zones crossed during the trip. Ticket prices are cheap compared to similar systems in other major cities.

Silver Nol Card - Dubai Metro Ticket and Pass

Children aged up to 5 years travel free. Concessionary fares for students and senior citizens are only available to residents.

Passengers pay with Nol Cards; contactless smart cards. Different types of cards are available to meet individual passenger needs. Cards must be purchased before travel.

  • Silver Nol Cards – Suitable for residents and tourists.
  • Gold Nol Cards – Suitable for residents and tourists wishing to travel in Gold Class (first class carriages).
  • Personal Nol Cards – Personalised card with photo. Concessionary fares are available for students, seniors, and the disabled.
  • Red Tickets (paper) – Ideal for occasional users. Can be loaded with up to 10 trips or 5 daily passes.

Passengers cannot use cash as a direct payment method on the Dubai Metro, buses, or water buses. Credit cards and other payment forms are also not accepted as direct payments. Cash and credit cards can be used to buy the Nol cards, top them up, and add passes.

Gold Class carriages are for those that wish to travel first class. Every Dubai Metro train has one Gold Class carriage. They have bigger and more comfortable seats with more legroom. Gold Class carriages are typically less crowded than Standard Class carriages.

Nol Cards can be purchased at many locations in Dubai, including ticket offices at Dubai Metro stations and Dubai Bus stations. There are ticket offices at all stations on both the Red Line and the Green Line .

Nol Cards can be used on different forms of transport (Metro, buses, water buses).

Passengers are only charged once, dependent on the length of the journey, provided transfer times between different modes are adhered to (30 minutes maximum permitted).

For example, if your journey involves a trip on the Dubai Metro and a bus, your journey will be counted as a single trip provided you check-in on the bus within 30 minutes of checking out of the Dubai Metro station.

Nol is the Arabic word for ‘fare’.

The fare is charged at the end of the journey and is dependent on the number of zones passed through. The fare is deducted when the card is tapped on one of the card readers located at the exits of Dubai Metro and Dubai Tram stations, buses, or water buses.

The latest AED exchange rates are:

  • Euro – 1 AED = 0.25 euros
  • British pound – 1 AED = 0.22 British pounds
  • US dollars – 1 AED = 0.27 US dollars

Exchange rates were last updated on Thursday 25th of April 2024 at 2:22 am . Exchange rates for other currencies can be found here .

A 50 percent discount is available to resident students and senior citizens holding Personal Nol Cards. Personal Nol Cards are only available to UAE nationals and residents (application procedure and ID required).

Small children (aged 5 and under) travel free (regardless of nationality and residence).

A map showing the zones and all Dubai Metro and Dubai Tram stations can be found  here .

The easiest way to work out the cost of a Metro trip is to use the Dubai Roads and Transport Authority’s (RTA) S’hail app. The app gives the cost of the trip and journey times. It will also give the cost and journey times for other modes of transport (bus, local taxi, Uber, etc.).

Passes are available and can be added/charged to Nol Cards. They allow unlimited travel on the Metro, buses, Dubai Tram, etc. Passes offer cheaper fares for frequent travellers.

Prices for passes are shown in the table below:

As an example, holders of a Silver Card can add a 7-day all-zone pass for 110 AED (£ 24.03 , € 27.97 , $ 29.95 ).

Holders of Silver Cards can add an all-zone monthly pass (30-day) at a cost of 350 AED (£ 76.47 , € 89.01 , $ 95.3 ).

Resident students and seniors enjoy a 50 percent discount on the cost of travel passes.

Anonymous Silver Card and Gold Card users can only add a 7-day pass. To add 30-day (monthly), 90-day, or 1-year passes, users need to register their cards.

Red Ticket holders can add a standard 1 day pass for 20 AED (£ 4.37 , € 5.09 , $ 5.45 ). The cost of a 1-day pass for travel in Gold Class carriages is 40 AED (£ 8.74 , € 10.17 , $ 10.89 ). The 1-day ticket allows holders to travel in all zones by any method of transport. More 1 day passes can be added if and when required.

Most tourists that plan to get around the city using public transport, will find that the Nol Silver Card suits their needs.

They can add a 7-day pass to the card without having to register the card. Further 7-day passes can be added for longer stays.

Tourists anticipating infrequent use of public transport should purchase a Red Ticket and add funds as required.

Nol Cards – Other Uses – Taxis, Parking, Shopping, etc

Nol Cards were introduced to pay for public transport (Dubai Metro, buses, etc.).

Since being launched their use has expanded. Holders can now use the Nol Card system to pay for a variety of services and goods including:

  • Shopping – Stores accepting Nol Cards include Circle K (convenience store) and Carrefour.
  • Restaurants – Nol Cards can be used to buy food and drink at outlets such as Burger King and Gloria Jean’s Coffees.
  • Parking – The latest parking meters allow drivers to pay for their parking without obtaining a paper ticket. Drivers simply enter their number plate on the touchscreen of the parking meter and pay using a Nol Card (or coins)
  • Public Parks – The small fee to enter public parks can now only be paid by Nol Card. Public parks where entry fees apply include  Zabeel Park ,  Al Mamzar Beach Park ,  Dubai Creek Park , and  Mushrif Park .

Nol Cards only work in Dubai. They are not accepted as a form of payment in Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, or any of the other emirates.

We will be in Dubai from 3/3-3/7 and most of what we will be seeing is along the Red Line. Is that all one zone? We have no need for a five day pass. So I assume single ticket? Can I put a load on it such as 50 AED?

I need to travel daily from Al Ghubaiba bus station to Al Quoz Industrial Area 4. How much for a monthly card?

I want to know the rate for monthly unlimited pass for a resident visa holder.

I am holding a silver nol card. Does it have an unlimited pass option for bus and train for 1 month?

Can I use a silver card for two persons?

My son (21 years old) and I will be travelling to Dubai for 7 days. We are tourists. I presume Silver Card would be convenient. 1. Can I purchase the Silver Card from the Airport? 2. Since we will be using this card most of the time on the metro, bus and monorail, how much top up should we have? Just an estimate. 3. Can we get a refund on the unused amount in the Silver Card? Possible to get at the Airport Metro? Thanks.

How can I travel from Dubai to Abu Dhabi by train and how much does it cost. It is cheaper to book online or when you are in Dubai?

I am a resident using metro and bus. I have to take two buses to reach my room from work and same to go for work. Which pass is suitable for me and how much does it cost?

We are five friends are travelling to Dubai for holidays. So which card should we buy and what would be the price?

You can buy the tickets from each station as you travel.

Go for silver card (one for each). 25 aed (6 aed card price – 19 aed balance), and the details for charges between different zones you can see above.

How do I get from the Dubai airport to the Burj Khalifa.

From Terminal 3 take the Red Line and exit at Burj Khalifa/Dubai Mall Metro Station.

Burj Khalifa is on the Red Line.

Silver card is enough. The cost is depends on how many zones you are crossing, not how many buses you take.

I want to use this card from abudabi to dubai bus. And in dubai that day to the visiting house and next day to airport for twice in total. Then which card should I buy?

Take silver nol card to travel inside Dubai. From Abu Dhabi to Dubai you have to pay by cash.

Is there any discount for everyday commuters?

Yes, you can take the monthly pass, and there are 3 types of pass available. if you are travelling between only one zone then the pass cost will be 140 AED. A two zone pass is 240 AED. A three zone of more pass is 340 AED..

Yes. You can buy 1 year, 30 days or 7 days unlimited travel pass for all zones or some of the zones.

For tourists, Gold Class travel in metro train is advisable as regular class is most often too congested.

At the time of writing, Gold class unlimited pass for 7 days for all zones costs around AED 400 (around US$ 110) and it covers metro train, bus and tram.

I’ll be visiting Dubai for a month with a friend. Which would be the best card to move between Ajman and Dubai?

Red card is valid for 90 days. Or you can get the silver card (AED 25 extra) if you plan to visit again within 5 years. Get a gold card if you want to use the gold class.

You can’t use nol card to travel between different emirates.

Take a bus from Al Mussallah Bus Station in Ajman to Al Rashidya Bus Station in Dubai (and back). One-way ticket costs around 12 to 15 dirhams (around US$4).

Sliver card is affordable for tourists or residents.

What do T1, T2 and T3 mean?

Terminals at the airport

Please refer RTA MAP

Dubai Transport is Devided in 7 Zones. T1: Travelling in One Zone Only T2: Travelling in 2 Only. T3: Includes more than 2 Zones

Hello, I will be in Dubai overnight (from 10pm to 8am next day). Is the 1 day ticket for 24 hours or for a calendar day?

Only until midnight. 🙁

its valid for the following day till midnight 12.00 a.m.

I’m a foreign student coming to Dubai for my educational program which is of 2 years. Which card or pass will be best suitable for me?

The Silver card Or the Gold card if you want to travel in STYLE

Silver nol card is ok for you.

depends on how often you use the public transport within Dubai. If you travel on daily basis then get a (money saver) 3 month pass (if your semester is going to take more then 3 months to finish), or go for monthly passes if you travel more then 20day a month (and if you semester break is less than 3 months far from now)

The Blue nol card standard class

The blue nol card would be best.

Ask the station master. He will advise you.

I suggest you go for the Silver Nol Card.

It depends where you are going and where you are living. You can take Dubai Tram or Dubai Metro.

We are staying in Dubai for 5 nights travelling 2 people. please suggest the best card for transportation in Dubai. thank you 🙂

Don’t be lazy, see list above!

Don’t be lazy. Give a proper answer!!!

Nol is the best card for transportation.

Silver will be better.

If you are staying only for 5 days, I think buying a daily metro ticket would be the best and cheapest.

Thank you for the article. It was very informative.

Just a quick query. I recently got a job in Dubai Investment Park. However, I will be staying quite far away from my work place. Since I would be using the metro & bus regularly, would it be beneficial for me to get a 30 day pass? And on which type of card would it be better? Silver or Blue? Thanks again in advance! Cheers!

Get the Silver card. You can go for Gold card if you want premium seats at the front of the metro. But the fare of the gold card is double that of silver cards.

Do the day passes have to be consecutive? We will be in Dubai before and after a cruise and would like to use the metro before and after.

You can buy a consecutive one.

Can you buy family travel passes in Dubai? How does that cost? If children go free, what is the maximum age? Or is there any discount price for children?

Children below 1 metre can ride for free

5 and under are free. Otherwise you must pay full fare.

The maximum age for free metro in Dubai is 5 years and under.

can i buy a metro card online before i get to dubai

yes, visit, nol.ae

No you can’t. But when you get out of the airport there is a metro station where you can buy at the counter.

HI There, we going Dubai this month for 5 days with kids and 1 person is 65, we would like to travel my metro, could you please advice which is best line we need to use and the tickets price.

Gold metro daily ticket.

Hello! I will soon visit Dubai for 10 days (9 nights) with my husband. Can you please advise me which card is suitable for us to roam from places to places until night and the total cost for 2 adults.

I am not understanding the difference between daily passes and cards. Are the costs different? Do the cards allow us to use bus or do we need to pay additional fees?

Thanking you in advance Shakeela

Get the silver card. As your stay is long, daily tickets are of no use to you. Silver card gets you 10% discount from the normal fare of daily cards. Yes you can use the cards on bus.

We will be in Dubai for 2 days. We will use the metro from the International Airport. we are arriving at 11 pm. What is the operating hour for the metro What card will i need if i were to travel from airport to Al Ras station and also to Dubai mall the next day. We are a family of 4 so do we need 4 cards?

Going to be in Dubai for 13 hours. Looking to go from the airport to downtown Dubai. Is the red card, with a daily pass, a good bet? Thanks

How do you change metro lines? Do you go out of the metro station?

No, you get out of the train and take another train.

My wife and I, would like to visit Dubai for 7 days. We would like to use all public transportations (tram, metro and buses). What card we should buy and where can we buy it?

Regards and thanks

Me and my husband will be staying in Dubai for 8 days. What pass do we buy?

Hello! We are staying in Dubai for 4 days. Can we buy mutliple red cards and refill it every day? Can we chose to get 1 gold card and fill it for 7 days?

Planning to visit Dubai in June for 11 days. Travelling with my family, 2 daughters aged 10 & 5. Questions: Is there a big difference between Gold and Standard Class? Is there discount for children travelling?

Hi, everyday I used to travel from Emirates Metro Station to UAE Exchange Metro Station back to back. Metro train is my daily transportation to office. Is there anything you can advise me to do to have a discount or to save more? I’m an expat holding residence visa.

Is a day pass good for 24 hours or a calendar day?

Found the silver card very handy and easy to use. Cheaper than individual fares, cost us five for journey which cost non card holder ten. Very similar to using the Dublin Leap card.

I am coming to Dubai for one day only and making the following 4 trips: 1) Airport to Dubai Media City 2) Dubai Media City to Dierah City Center 3) Dierah City Center to Dubai Mall 4) Dubai Mall to Airport

What is the cheapest ticket I can buy. And up to what time the metro operates. Thanks.

In my opinion, it is just easiest to pay for each trip using the Silver Nol card. The red cards and day passes are confusing and not a good deal.

The first time you ride the metro, buy a Silver card from the manned kiosk near the entry turnstyles. It costs only 25AED and comes with 19AED value on the card. When the card has less than 8AED, simply top it up with another 10-15AED at the same manned kiosk, or the top up machines at the station.

Messing around with single trip tickets and day passes are overly complicated to me.

Before leaving Dubai, simply give your card as a gift to a hotel worker or taxi driver that was nice to you. They will appriciate the gesture, I’m sure.

Very helpful, thank you!

Thanks Harry.

Good job Harry

Thanks for this very useful information.

We are going to Dubai for holidays and we need to travel a lot between Dubai and Sharjah. Can the Dubai metro passes be used for buses in Sharjah ? If not, is there any other pass that covers the public transport in both the Emirates ?

Nearest metro from Sharjah is Al Quasis metro station green line. You would then have to switch lines after a few stops to the red line to continue to Damac which is Dubai Marina

Minimum fare from one station to very next station is AED 3 for silver card holders for both red and green lines?

We’re traveling in a group of two people. Can one silver card be used by two people at the same time of do we need to purchase two cards?

It is one card per person. There is no option to swipe twice for two people.

Hi, If I buy red ticket and load it with 7 days passes, would it allow me to have unlimited rides for 7 days or not?

I have limited mobility and can’t do stairs. Is the Metro easily accessible for those with limited mobility?

All Metro stations are equipped with lifts and escalators for access.

Use public transport it’s cheap safe metro can get a bit crowded but that’s part of the fun sometimes

Can I buy cards online?

Nol card is issued by RTA and this cannot be purchased online. Just dont buy red card as it is only valid for 90 days.

Good information and useful

Does one need 2 cards for travel on the red line and green line or 1 card is enough to travel both lines?

You only need one card.

We are two seniors (ages 72 and 74) travelling to Dubai for five days in February. We are looking for a pass that covers trains, trams and buses (including water buses).

NOL Card works on Trains, Trams and Buses. You shall have to check for water buses..

Hi. I’m going to visit Dubai this month for the job hunt. That means I will need to travel a lot. I’m coming for 30 days. Which card will be suitable for me? Thanks in advance.

You can get a Silver card (no ID required) and load it with a 30 day pass. The new fares came out late last year. I presume you will want a pass that covers all zones. This will cost 350 AED.

You don t need that much. 100-150 aed might be well enough, depending on how much you travel. Sometimes 1 to 3 rudes enough cause day ends up pretty fast before you finish visiting one area. Take it easy. If you need more you can top up at the metro station,

30 days pass available for person having Resident Visa Only. On Tourist Visa One month pass not given

We’re in Sharjah and Dubai on holiday for seventeen days. Is there any card which is valid for public transport to visit exciting places like Dubai Mall etc?

Depends how long you are in Dubai for? If you are in Dubai for a week you could buy a Silver card and charge it up with a 7 day pass for all zones for 110 AED (or two 7 day passes). You could also buy a red ticket(s) for 1 day at 20 AED.

That can be used for any form of public transportation.

We at staying in Dubai for 5 days. Is there a ticket that will cover all public transport for the 5 days or do we need to get a ticket for each trip?

You could buy a Red Ticket and load it with 5 daily passes. The Red Ticket costs 2 AED for the ticket itself. A daily pass costs 20 AED. So the total cost would be 102 AED.

The ticket would be valid for the Dubai Metro, Dubai Tram, and buses.

If you want to travel Gold Class on the Dubai Metro and Dubai Tram the daily pass costs 40 AED per day.

Is it loading the Red ticket to 20 aed the only option? Can’t we load a lesser amount like 10 aed, if we are gonna travel only once to n fro.

Busbud Avatar

Think bus journeys mean being cramped and uncomfortable? Think again. Although buses have historically been widely used for transportation in many regions,  they have often been viewed as a less favored option in the United States. However, a host of new luxury bus companies are changing the scripts with their comfortable and convenient services. They may even be posing a threat to airlines.

We’ll run through how luxury buses differ from standard bus services and what to expect from them, along with some of the best options available for travelers and how to book your tickets.

What are luxury buses?

Like a standard bus service, luxury buses take you from A to B on a road vehicle with other passengers. But they do so while giving you a deluxe experience.

Unlike basic bus services like Greyhound’s, luxury buses are designed for those who want to travel in comfort.

They always offer a comfortable bathroom on board, sport fewer seats than budget buses, and offer wider, more comfortable seats with more legroom. They’re likely also to boast some of the following features:

  • Free complimentary items (e.g., blankets, pillows, refreshments, toiletries)
  • Generous baggage policy
  • Wide reclining seats or seats that turn into beds
  • Motion-canceling technology in the seats
  • High-speed WiFi
  • Privacy screens or curtains
  • Entertainment libraries or streaming services

Why are travelers choosing luxury buses?

The convenience of avoiding lines.

When opting for a luxury service, many travelers find buses become a more enjoyable and comfortable experience than using a plane . There’s no long queue, strenuous security process, or turning up hours in advance. Just turn up at the station fifteen minutes before departure and wait to board your bus. It couldn’t be simpler.

Next-level comfort

Luxury buses are a game-changer for the industry, which has been investing in offering more comfortable rides to customers who want to travel comfortably and avoid the nuisance of flying. With luxury buses often being more comfortable than airplanes , with wider seats and extra legroom, passengers are finding a more practical and efficient way to travel.

Although journeys on buses take longer than plane trips on paper, the difference is often marginal after accounting for time spent waiting at airports. 

Plus, you get to see more of the local scenery as you travel. Or, if you’d prefer, you can sleep undisrupted from the get-go (instead of having to force yourself to stay awake while you wait for the airport to announce your boarding gate has opened).

Cost-efficient option

Taking a trip with a luxury bus is ofter more affordable than flying. Even the pricier bus fares rarely go significantly over $100, while plane tickets can easily cost $300 or $400 in the US.

Another factor is the environmental benefits compared to other transport options, such as planes. For example, flying from Austin to Houston emits 61 kg of CO2 when using a plane, yet the same journey emits just 9kg when traveling by bus.

Finally, since luxury buses are a lot more readily available now, they’re a genuine option for consumers.

Luxury bus services in the US

See the value in luxury bus services? 

Let’s look at four of the most popular US services in more detail:

Vamoose Gold

The Jet is a luxury coach company that’s taking the US by storm. Don’t be fooled by the name — The Jet is very much a bus service, although it gets its name because it aims to provide a luxury experience that mirrors not standard airplanes but private jets. Far from the typical crowded experience on buses, each vehicle has just 14 passengers.

It’s also known for its “motion-canceling technology,” designed by none other than BOSE to provide a transport version of its noise-canceling tech. As a result, the seats have a combination of gel foam and memory foam and an incline designed to soothe you to sleep.

Other luxury features include access to refreshments onboard, including wine and coffee, access to a lavatory, and fast WiFi . Additionally, there is a minimum age requirement of six years old in place to ensure that adults can enjoy a peaceful journey.

The Jet operates just one journey currently (Washington to NYC – Manhattan), which takes around four hours and runs most days. Although the company currently only runs between New York and Washington, it has plans to add more routes in the future. Philadelphia and Baltimore are the top priorities.

  • Washington to New York
  • New York City to Washington

travelling gold class bus

While The Jet is a new company, RedCoach already has 14 years of history under its belt — over that time, it has carried more than two million passengers. 

RedCoach is a bus company that operates routes within Texas and Florida (but not between the two), with new routes being added frequently. It has departures every day, making it a convenient choice for people looking to travel around the two states.

There are three different bus classes depending on whether your priority is comfort or cost. If you want a true luxury experience, the best option is its first-class service. First-class buses have only 27 seats, which are 21 inches wide (compared to the 56 seats that are 16 inches wide you’ll find on the economy service). All chairs are reclinable and the coaches also have perks like toilets, WiFi, electrical outlets, and computer tables.

  • Miami to Orlando
  • Dallas to Austin
  • Dallas to Houston 
  • Many more routes within Miami and Texas

Red Coach first class

Vamoose is a coach company that covers New York, Maryland, and Virginia, with a history dating back to 2004. While most Vamoose trips are more akin to standard bus journeys than luxury, it also offers the Vamoose Gold Bus service to the luxury segment.

A Vamoose Gold bus consists of 34 wide, reclining leather seats with additional legroom. A major perk for solo travelers is that there are 12 single-seat rows, with the seat taking a 2-1 configuration. 

Buses also have reading lights, power outlets, WiFi, and complimentary bottled water — in addition to standard Vamoose perks, such as luggage assistance and flexible ticket changes.

  • New York to Washington 
  • New York to Bethesda, Maryland
  • New York to Arlington
  • New York to Lorton

Vamoose gold seats

Last but not least, we have Tufesa , a Mexican bus company that also covers the US. Like many other Latin American countries, bus travel is a popular option in Mexico, and the company is now bringing its premier service to the States.

The company has different categories of buses, so if you’re looking for the most comfortable option, choose the Platinum Service, which offers 2:1 configuration, extra reclining seats, vast legroom, and spacious bathrooms.

All Tufesa buses have toilets on board and comfortable seats, along with air conditioning for those hot California days. However, there is no WiFi, power outlets or snacks, so it’s not quite on the same level as some of the buses on this list.

Tufesa has some fantastic bus routes, focusing on California but also visiting adjacent regions, such as Arizona and Nevada. Plus, there are trips from the US to Tijuana, Mexico — though if you want to take cross-border trips, there are additional boarding requirements to keep in mind for a smooth journey.

Unfortunately, Tufesa timetables are less easy to access online than those of other services, and most of the information is in Spanish. It can therefore be tough to understand how to book a ticket when using the official site.

This is where services like Busbud come in useful. To remove these obstacles, we have aggregated all the information from Tufesa (along with other services) into one easy-to-use interface. You can also buy your tickets directly from us for maximum convenience.

  • San Diego to Tijuana
  • Los Angeles to Las Vegas
  • Los Angeles to San Diego
  • Los Angeles to Phoenix
  • Los Angeles to San Jose
  • Tucson to Phoenix

How to book a luxury bus service

If you think a luxury bus service could be the right fit for your next trip, the only thing left is to book your tickets. When there are multiple companies operating different routes, it can be challenging to figure out which option is right for you.

Using a centralized site like Busbud fixes this problem. Busbud pulls information and routes from each of these services and allows you to compare them and plan your route with one simple tool. Just choose where you want to go and the desired date and time, and Busbud will give you a wide selection of options.

You can then purchase your tickets straight away, it just a few clicks. And if you ever travel outside of the US, you can use Busbud to book your bus and train tickets in over 80 countries, all in your own language and currency.

What are the Bus Classes & Prices of Nakhonchai Air?

The price of your bus trip will depend both on the destination and the class of your ticket. Note that not all ticket classes are available on certain routes yet for longer trips there is almost always a good choice of options. Opt for a sleeper coach for the most convenient overnight trip. Sleeper buses are usually equipped with berths or soft reclining seats, feature an onboard toilet and your ticket may also include other perks like snacks or even a lunch. Taking a night bus is also a good idea if you want to save on your hotel room. During the day an express service is often the best value for money as it makes less stops than an ordinary or standard class bus and travels faster. On some routes it may be crucial to choose the right class as, say, an ordinary or second class bus may need some 6 hours to cover the distance the first class or express bus travels in two hours!

Pros & Cons of Bus Travel

Pros of bus travel.

Buses usually boast the widest network of destinations covered. They travel to the places you cannot get to by plane or even by train

Travelling by bus is easy – there is no need to arrive to the bus terminal much in advance, and the check-in is usually a very fast formality opposite to air travel

Bus tickets are very affordable. Yes, there are costly first class or VIP options but is you are on a budget, bus is the first means of transportation you have to think about

At the same time, there are different classes of service to suit any budget. If you are after a higher level of comfort, buses get you covered, too.

Cons of Bus Travel

Intercity bus terminals can be located outside the city centre in the outskirts. It means you will need to calculate extra time and money to get there. In certain destinations getting from the bus terminal can cost you more than you would expect because only a limited number of transportation companies is allowed to serve the route – and prices may be inflated.

During busy weekends or high season buses serving some tourist destinations may run out of schedule and require advanced booking.

While buses are not as weather dependent as ferries, bus trips can also be delayed or cancelled due to bad weather or road conditions – keep it in mind if travelling during certain seasons or to certain destinations.

How to travel New Zealand by bus 2024: Guide

Wondering if it’s possible to get around New Zealand by bus? This guide has everything you need to know to travel the country by buses.

Travelling New Zealand by bus is easy, convenient and cheap ! I’ve taken the bus around the country a fair few times when I was a broke university student trying to travel as much as possible and later on between destinations without flights. Here is my guide to getting around New Zealand by bus.

If you’re planning your New Zealand trip and aren’t sure whether bus travel is the way to go then scroll down for my pros and cons list.

If you’re interested in reading more about other transport options, check out my  New Zealand by train  guide.

Note – I have paid for all my InterCity trips myself and all opinions are my own. Nothing in this post is an affiliate link, it’s all just here to help you to understand the New Zealand bus travel options.

The intercity bus network in New Zealand

InterCity is currently the only company running a national bus service in New Zealand. There are regional bus networks that are good for getting to smaller places within an area and off the main trunk bus lines. 

New Zealand used to have more national buses, there was Naked Bus, Mana Bus and Skip Bus. The first two have shut down permanently, Skip Bus might be restarting so watch this space .

WARNING: If you Google Naked Bus, there’s a spammy website, which looks to be a tourist scam. Naked Bus does not still operate.

Where can you get by bus in New Zealand?

You can get nearly anywhere in New Zealand by bus, but you may have to combine an Intercity bus and a regional bus. Intercity does have a comprehensive network that covers most of the country. The availability on the North Island is a bit better than on the South Island, mostly because there is more demand and fewer mountains in the way.

This is the route map:

New Zealand bus map

The main trunk line in the North Island is the Auckland to Wellington route stopping in Hamilton, Taupo and Palmerston North. Given this connects the two biggest cities these buses are usually the busiest. It’s rare for a service to sell out but you’ll want to show up early if you want a front seat.

On the South Island, the West Coast route is more touristy while the Christchurch – Dunedin route is the main local transporter.

Booking New Zealand bus tickets

You can buy bus tickets at the InterCity website. You do need to buy online in advance as you can’t just show up with cash on the day. Tickets are released a year in advance and can be bought up to the day of departure.

You can buy tickets in person at the information centres in bigger towns ( list here ) which sometimes but not always are the same place the bus stops. I would not recommend trying to book a same-day bus.

There are standard and flex fares available. I usually just go with standard as you can still get a credit or change your trip, there just might be a small charge.

How much does it cost to get around New Zealand by bus?

Prices vary by route (shorter + cheaper) and time of booking (further in advance = cheaper), and travel time (weekdays are cheaper). Below are the current prices at the time of writing.

Backpacker and student discounts are available, booking fees also apply.

Should I buy a New Zealand bus pass?

As well as standard one way and return there are TravelPass and FlexiPass options. These are for holidays rather than local transport.

Getting value from a pass requires a fair bit of planning so you should know where you want to visit on your New Zealand bus trip before you decide to buy.

Flexi Pass vs Travel Pass

TravelPass is a ticket for a set route and you can take stop off at as many places as you want along that route over as many days as you want.

The TravelPass routes are mostly in the South Island, and some include a trip on the TranzAlpine train which is really cool but adds to the cost.

This suits travellers who want to see a particular region/island and are travelling at least 2+ days in that area (the minimum days on the smallest TravelPass).

The FlexiPass is more similar to a rail pass in that you pay for a set amount of time, in this case, a number of hours of bus travel.

This is a good option if you are planning to travel the whole country with a reasonable number of stops as it’s great value for money but the minimum hours is 10.

What to expect when travelling New Zealand by bus

Bus departures.

Every InterCity bus stop I’ve been to has been in the centre of whatever town I’m in so it’s super convenient. The InterCity will often stop at a bus depot (if the town has one) so you can connect to local buses.

That said, many bus stops don’t have an indoor waiting area so just be aware of that if the weather is bad.

Buses tend to run on time/very close to time. The exception is where you’re getting on partway through a bigger route and the weather is bad. InterCity now has a bus tracker on the website to help you know when that’s happened. 

I recommend showing up 15-30 minutes before your scheduled departure time.

The bus drivers can be pretty pedantic about timing so they like to have every booked passenger ticked off before departure time, but they also never leave early and usually won’t let you on board until they are just about to depart so if you’re super early you’ll probably just end up standing around outside at a bus stop for ages.

intercity bus stop auckland New Zealand

Breaks and eating on New Zealand bus trips

Longer trips (I think it’s over 3 hours) will have a planned stop. Depending on the length of the trip this could be a 15-minute stretch/bathroom break or it could be the drivers’ scheduled 30+ minute lunch break (lunch breaks are on trips over 5 hours I believe.

If there is a long break you’ll be able to see it in the route description when you buy your ticket.

The bus will usually stop in the central part of a town near public toilets and some cafes. Be prepared to deal with occasionally gross public toilets or pay for a drink at a cafe/Mcdonald’s so you can use their toilet.

There have been a few trips where the break is in the middle of nowhere so you end up at some overpriced truck stop with no other options. So, bring your own snacks!

On that note, you can eat and drink on the bus, but hot food is not allowed. You can usually bring on hot drinks but it’s at the driver’s discretion so be subtle about it.

Luggage on New Zealand buses

InterCity tickets allow you to bring one ‘carry-on’ and one ‘checked’ bag. The checked bag goes in the baggage part underneath the bus and the carry-on stays with you. 

Your carry-on needs to be small (as in handbag size, not a wheelie airline carry-on) because otherwise, the driver will try to put it underneath the bus and get grumpy at you for having two bags.

Most buses have an overhead area you can put your carry-on bag but it’s not very big and some buses don’t have it at all.

Wifi on buses in New Zealand

Technically InterCity buses have wifi but in my experience, it’s pretty terrible so if you desperately need internet on your trip you’re better off buying a local SIM.

Only Gold Class seats have charging ports (USB A only).

Types of buses around New Zealand

InterCity buses some in standard, double-decker and sleeper varieties. The sleeper varieties are available on long-haul trips (ie Auckland to Wellington) departing at night.

These buses have a bunk/camp stretcher type setup that has the enormous benefit of letting you lie flat. You can see below what these look like.

intercity sleeper bus New Zealand

Some InterCity buses have the Gold Class offering which includes free wifi, bigger leather seats and USB charging ports.

The Gold seats are also usually at the front so a good option if you get carsick. Gold is not usually much more (I’ve paid only $5 extra in the past) so it’s worth it. You can see which buses have Gold Class here .

Pros of travelling New Zealand by bus

  • It’s usually much cheaper than flying. 
  • There are routes covering the whole country with way more destinations than you can get to by plane or train.
  • Bus stops are central so you don’t have the hassle of getting to/from an airport.

Cons of travelling New Zealand by bus

  • It can be the slowest way of getting from a to b (but not always when you consider airport waiting times and getting to/from an airport)
  • Sometimes the bus is full and you have to sit next to a gross stranger with no shoes on (that was a one-off, I think!).

Local tips for bus travel in New Zealand

  • Pay for the gold class. It’s usually only $5 and it’s worth it for the extra space, front seats and (sometimes) USB chargers. There’s no option to upgrade on the day so you need to select and pay for gold when you make your booking.
  • Book as far in advance as possible – The earlier you book the cheaper is the general rule. InterCity occasionally does $1 fares, they’re almost impossible to get but if you book way in advance, you might be in luck.
  • Join the email list – sometimes they give you loyalty discounts.
  • Take snacks – the food selection at the stops is often terrible so just grab some snacks from the supermarket before you head off. Avoid hot food, sometimes the drivers get grumpy about smells.
  • Don’t go too far at the stops – I’ve never seen a driver check numbers getting back on the bus so you could easily be left behind.

I hope this guide helps you with planning any New Zealand bus trips or deciding if this is the transport you want to use.

Happy travelling!
