Buses are not considered the perfect transport in the city. They are mainly crowded, dirty and very uncomfortable especially if you are travelling with your children. If you have a small child in a baby carriage, it is hard to lift it up on the bus without anyone helping you. Also other disadvantage of bus transport is how easy you can catch diseases such as flu because many people are using it.
However, if you are planning a trip with your children and you don’t have a car, or you just feel more secure if someone else is driving while you are taking care of your adorable and playful kids, then you should choose the bus. When kids are getting into an age when they can distract your attention, it is very dangerous to drive a car. So, travelling with bus is a good choice.

When you are planning a long trip with the bus, it could be very exhausting, especially for little children. It is hard to keep your child for 5-6 hours on its seat with a seat belt on. The bus may stop at many places for rest but the rest wouldn’t be enough for your children. And if the trip you are planning is very long, it will be very exhausting for your children and mostly for you trying all the way to keep them in one place. It is true that most of the children love to travel and to see new things. They are very curious. It is good to grab their attention and keep telling them stories about the landmarks you are going through. Even if you don’t know anything about a specific monument, you can always make up your own story and tell it to your children. The good thing is that modern buses have toilets and bus-hostess who is offering drinks and food. If you are travelling with your little baby, better buy a ticket for a seat for the baby because you will easily get tired if you keep it in your hands. Be sure you have everything you need: baby’s food, drink, comforter, diapers, blankets and warm clothes for you and the baby. If you can choose between train and bus, probably the train will be a lot more comfortable than bus, because you can always take a walk and you can take the baby carriage with you and believe it or not, babies love to sleep in trains.

When you arrive from the long trip, try to take a good rest for you and your children. Unpack the luggage and have a nice meal and a nice sleep. This will be the perfect solution. After that, you can enjoy the new place more. Have a nice happy weekend and remember that your children will forget completely about the bus for an hour but the next time you are trying to get them on the bus will be a hard thing to do. So make sure that the trip you are planning is not longer than 5 hours. This is the optimum time for travelling in one direction for babies or little children. If it is longer, try to separate it. If it is not necessary for you to get to the certain place as fast as possible, you can always break the long trip into pieces and have a rest in a village you have never been to, for example. It will be interesting for you and for your children.
