Save/ShareA new website makes it easier to find the bus line and bus fare that fits your budget, schedule, and even your neighborhood: BusJunction.com.

Helpfully, the site uses simple icons to say whether a bus line offers free Wi-Fi or outlets for laptop users. It's important to read those symbols to make sure you're getting the most perks for your dollar. You may not want to pay the lowest fare possible for a "Chinatown" bus line when you can spend a few dollars more to ride on a mainstay company line like Peter Pan, which has been around since the (truly) Great Depression.
A downside: Busjunction.com isn't for bus riders nationwide, yet. The site checks buses in 20 17* states east of Kansas and north of Tennesse, plus a sprinkling of options north of the border, such as for Niagara Falls and Toronto. And it only does one-way searches! What's up with that?

With the title "It's like Expedia...only for bus travel" this posting should have focused on GotoBus.com for a more accurate comparison. GotoBus allows users to do a comprehensive search for all things "bus" including inter-city shuttle buses, bus tours, vacation packages and sightseeing activities instead of just a limited search for shuttle buses.
