A road trip is all about the journey… and anticipation… and nostalgia…and happy memories.
If you happen to embrace the attitude - ‘Life’s a journey, enjoy the ride’ – then the best way to do that is to travel by bus.
With the launch of QuickBus – Kenya’s convenient and quick online platform – we have taken the hassle out of booking travel tickets by partnering with reputable bus operators and sourcing the best deals for you to get from A to B; comfortably and safely.
If you still need some persuading – here are 6 reasons to book a road trip by bus:
1. Destination Dilemma
Bus travel offers you options and flexibility. You are not only limited to main centres, big cities and tourist destinations. Those ‘off the beaten track’ villages and countryside towns can become part of your itinerary.
You are spoilt for choice when it comes to planning destinations you would like to visit. Of course, if you’re headed to your grandmother’s birthday – we advise you arrive in time to cut the cake!
2. Make new friends
Travelling by bus means you can travel with old friends, making new memories; or you can make new friends. That is the advantage of many hours on the road. New friends and new memories are all part of the package. In fact, a chicken and its owner might even be seated next to you – imagine the stories you will have to tell!
3. You don’t have to unplug
Unlike air travel, travelling by bus means you don’t have to select ‘airplane mode.’ If you don’t want to switch off, you don’t have to – unless your battery goes flat. You can stay connected to the worldwide web while you travel the world (or in this case, as you travel around Kenya), and the world can stay in touch with you. You can even post photos of scenic sights en route and blog your trip in real time.
4. Spend less and save the planet
When it comes to road trips, we all know that travelling by bus is one of the most affordable and inexpensive ways of getting from A to B and back again. For those among us who are green, environmentally friendly and intent on saving the planet – here is a fun fact: 1 bus = 50 cars. You do the Maths.
5. No more squashing and squabbling
The days when you and your siblings had to squash in the back seat, and amid all the squabbling kept asking, ‘Are we there yet?’ are a thing of the past. With comfortable and spacious individual pre-booked seats and air conditioning, bus travel guarantees no squashing. Perhaps it cannot promise no squabbling.
6. Luggage and more luggage
Air travel luggage and liquid restrictions do not apply when it comes to bus travel. The limits are way more lenient. So you can pack those extra pairs of shoes, stuffed toys or golf clubs, and you don’t have to decant your shampoos and creams into minuscule sized travel bottles.
Now that you are convinced, all you need to do is visit QuickBus online where we are ready and waiting, 24/7, to help you plan your short or long road trip. Finding the best deals and travelling to any of the current 9 destinations in Kenya is just a click away.
