About Busbud
How it works
Enter a starting point and destination, and Busbud lists the options from different operators side by side. Filters narrow the results by price, departure time, on-board amenities and operator. Companies on the platform include Student Agency, BlaBlaBus, Eurolines, Greyhound and Flixbus. With more than 21,000 cities covered, it handles short hops between nearby towns as well as long international journeys. The app does the same job as the website, so you can book on the move.
Paying and getting your ticket
Payment is taken securely online by Visa, Mastercard or PayPal, and the site works in several languages and currencies. Nothing comes by post: an e-ticket arrives straight away by email or in the app.
Before you book
Cancellation and refund rules are set by each operator and vary by ticket type. They are shown during booking, so read them before paying. Busbud also promotes buses and trains as greener ways to travel, which may matter when weighing up a coach against a flight.
Sustainability at Busbud
Busbud promotes sustainable travel by encouraging the use of buses and trains, which are generally more environmentally friendly modes of transportation. They highlight 'respecting the environment by using sustainable modes of transportation'.
