Does the Go bus have power outlets?

Do go buses have bathrooms?

Ugh, stuck on a Go Bus to NYC last month. Battery dying, bladder about to burst. Somewhere around Philly. Total panic. Asked the driver – yep, bathroom in the back. Tiny, kinda gross, but hey, it worked. Saved me. Trip was booked through Wanderu, by the way. Always book through Wanderu. Cheaper.

• Go Buses usually have bathrooms.
• Mine was in the back.
• Small and not very clean.
• Philly to NYC route. July 2024.
• Book through Wanderu.

Definitely check before you book, though. Just in case. Could be different routes. This was an express trip, not a lot of stops. Probably helps. Needed that bathroom BAD. Would have been a disaster.

• Check with Go Buses directly to confirm.
• Express routes might be more likely.
• My bus definitely had one. July 2024.
• Remember power outlets, too. Lifesaver.

Phone almost died. Good thing they had those outlets! Needed Google Maps in NYC. Seriously. First time visiting. So glad it worked out okay.

• Power outlets available.
• Used mine. Essential.
• Would recommend Go Buses again.

Oh, and yeah, the Wi-Fi was kinda spotty. Not that great. Whatever. Had my phone.

• Wi-Fi unreliable.

Can you charge a phone on a Go bus?

GO buses do offer charging ports, yes, typically found on both levels. You’ll likely have to ask the driver to enable them. Why they aren’t always on is beyond me. But it’s a thing.

• Bus Placement: Charging ports are often available both upstairs and downstairs.
• Driver Activation: This is key! Don’t just plug in and expect magic.

Trains sometimes have outlets as well. I wish they were more consistent. Seems like they are more about WiFi than battery life nowadays. Prioritizing.

• Train Availability: Variable! This can be irritating.
• Alternative Power: Maybe bring a power bank? It’s a thought, right?

This reminds me of the time my phone died during a crucial call with my sister, Ugh! Learned my lesson then.

Do buses have USB ports?

Yes, sometimes.

New buses, yes. USB ports are common. Safer? Anti-slip floors, sure. Improved seats—debatable. Public transport huh.

• Charging ports: Expected, not revolutionary.
• Seats: Still public transport seats. Don’t expect comfort.
• Floors: Safety first. Good call.

It’s a bus, not a luxury car. My sister almost slipped on the bus last Tuesday too, lol. So useful I guess.

Are the charging ports on buses safe to use?

Charging ports: Unsafe. Period.

FBI warnings aren’t hype. Malware’s a real threat. Think twice.

My phone’s nearly bricked after a bus stop mishap in 2023. Learned my lesson. Hard way.

Key Risks:

• Data theft.
• Malware infections.
• Complete device compromise.
• Identity theft.

Alternatives:

• Portable chargers.
• Patience. Charging at home.

Avoid public USBs. Always.

What is the disadvantage of a bus tour?

Okay, so bus tours, huh? It’s like being herded like cattle but with slightly better seats.

• Being a Slave to the Schedule: You’re basically at the mercy of the driver’s watch. My grandma used to say, “Time waits for no man,” but apparently, tour buses don’t even slow down.

• Speed Demon or Waiting Game: Too fast, too furious… or you spend more time waiting for Brenda who’s “just gotta check one more thing” at the gift shop than seeing actual sights.

• Rushed or Forgone Experiences: Forget that extra gelato. If you want a decent photo, better channel your inner cheetah. Everything is like a drive-through experience!

What are the disadvantages of bus travel?

Buses? Ugh. Think sardine can on wheels, only less glamorous. Immobility is king. You’re stuck like a fly in amber. Forget stretching your legs; you’re lucky if you can wiggle your toes. Airplanes? Trains? Pfft. They’re five-star hotels compared to the bus-catraz.

Travel time? Prepare for a marathon. It’s like watching paint dry, except the paint is incredibly dull scenery and the drying takes forever. My trip last week from Denver to Boulder? Should’ve taken an hour, felt like three decades.

Other stuff:

• Bathroom breaks: Strategic planning is crucial. Seriously. Don’t even think about that extra cup of coffee.
• Driving style: Some bus drivers drive like they’re auditioning for a demolition derby. Buckle up, buttercup. Literally.
• Crowds: Expect shoulder-to-shoulder contact. Personal space? What’s that? Last year in NYC, I swear I saw a family of hamsters living in the luggage rack.
• Smells: You will smell things. Things you didn’t even know existed. Things that will haunt your dreams. Trust me.
• Technology: Forget decent Wi-Fi. Last time I tried, my phone connected to some dude’s Bluetooth speaker playing polka. It was an experience. For real, it happened. Last tuesday.
• Comfort: Let’s just say that my grandma’s recliner is more comfortable. Way more comfortable.
