Brief introduction of Greyhound bus
(Greyhound Australia), an Australian greyhound bus, was founded in 1905. Like Greyhound buses in the United States, it provides intercity long-distance bus services. In fact, because Australian aircraft and private cars are too developed, the market for long-distance buses is not large, so greyhound buses are the only long-distance buses available to each other in many Australian cities.
Greyhound buses have more than 200 stations across the country, covering all states and territories except Tasmania, as well as most popular tourist cities except Perth, the capital of Western Australia. Greyhound buses are more comfortable than airplanes; greyhogs are more expensive and have more stations and flights than train.
Most greyhogs are equipped with WiFi and restrooms to make the journey easie
Three different types of tickets
- Picket: A one-way ticket from one place to another, some routes may require a transfer halfway; popular routes are:
- Sydney Canberra
- Brisbane Gold Coast
- Gold Coast Byron Bay
The long-distance pass purchased by (Hop on Hop off Pass): by starting and ending with the following pass is suitable for tourists who have plenty of time to travel all the way from one place to another, such as Sydney to Keynes, for example, nearly 3000 kilometers one way. If you buy the following pass, you can arrange any time on this route. The purchase is valid for half a year, the date is calculated from the first ride, and is valid within 90 days;
The explorer pass (Whimit): is divided into 3 days / 5 days / 7 days / 15 days / 30 days / 60 days / 90 days / 120 days / 365 days, etc., which is valid for one year after purchase, and the date is calculated from the first time. It is very suitable for short-term travel to Australia and needs to cross many cities. It is worth mentioning that the 3-5-7 pass is a special product launched by Greyhogs to the Chinese market, which can only be bought by Chinese tourists. It is very cost-effective. For example, the official retail price of the three-day pass is A $159 (as low as A $145 online on www.51.com in Australia), and you know, A one-way ticket from Sydney to Brisbane retails for A $211! So it can also be said that the three-day adventure pass makes all one-way tickets with a unit price of more than A $159 meaningless and the ratio of performance to price is unparalleled!
