A poster was asking about finding and booking buses online, so I'll put the various suggestions here. Don't hesitate to give feedback on sites you've used.

Good stuff.


Do you think we should also mention about the number or buses involved in accidents, or the robberies, attempted rapes, or . . .

Detailed lists of bus companies, schedules and prices. The link also contains the addresses and contact numbers of the major companies.
