1. Make sure the route is safe.
Check local travel advisories and be sure the bus route is not one where robberies and/or accidents are common at night. If you see warnings about this, you might want to opt for a day bus.
2. Splurge on the first-class bus.
Think long and hard before buying a ticket for the cheaper or cheapest overnight bus. Does it look safe and decently maintained (eg, are tires bald)? Can you imagine being in one of the seats all night? Will there be two drivers, taking turns—or just one for the entire night? If you’re unsure and/or have a bad gut feeling, then it might be best to take more expensive, higher quality overnight bus.
3. Choose your seat carefully.
There are several things to consider when picking your seat: 1. Window or Aisle?Some people feel they’ll sleep better near the window; it means more ways to create a makeshift pillow. Others (like me) prefer the aisle because there’s more space and a way to stretch out. 2. Near a man or woman?You should sit where you feel most comfortable. I tend to sit next to a woman or a teenager. The few times I’ve sat near a man (whether seats were pre-assigned or not), I had some unpleasant encounters....
Moving beyond basic safety, there’s ‘survival’—that is, making the journey more comfortable and bearable.
9. Use earplugs plus an eye mask.
When it’s time to sleep, you’ll want to drown out the noise. I recommend earplugs, which you can buy at an electronics store. (See Tip # 6.) An eye mask is also important. It helps block out light from inside the bus at night and in the morning, when the sun coming in through the windows can make you feel like a vampire.
10. Use a neck pillow.
If you travel with a suitcase, then you might want to purchase a neck pillow. If you’re a backpacker, you won’t want the extra bulk of a pillow in your bag, so you should consider getting a blow-up neck pillow. It will make you feel more comfortable whether you’re reading or resting.
11. Take meds if you need to (but nothing too strong).
It’s not always easy to sleep on these buses, so you might need some help. Taking medication (check with your doctor first) could be a solution. I use a combination of antihistamine and Xanax. You want to sleep, but you don’t want to be so knocked out that you can’t wake up and react quickly if you need to.

Aug 11, 2024 · When you’re backpacking on a budget, overnight bus travel is your best friend and your worst enemy. On the one side, they save you money and time as it’s your night’s accommodation and you travel a good distance while you ‘sleep’ – I say that term lightly as sleep doesn’t really come into it. On the other, they’re pretty grim.
