How to read a bus ticket and make sure you don’t get the journey details wrong

Where to find the time, address, platform, carrier details and baggage allowance on an e-ticket for a coach journey.

Зміст статті

    A ticket contains more information than just the route and journey time. Before you set off, check all the details carefully to ensure you arrive at the correct station and can board the train quickly.

    Route and timetable

    Check the date, local departure time, city and the exact name of the stop. For night-time journeys, check the calendar date particularly carefully.

    Boarding

    Find the address, platform number, bus description or the operator’s contact details. The platform number is sometimes specified directly at the station.

    Ticket terms and conditions

    Read the rules regarding luggage, refunds, exchanges and whether a printed ticket is required. Ensure that the passenger’s name matches that on their travel document.

    Quick checklist before your journey

    • Date and local time
    • Full boarding address
    • Booking reference
    • Baggage and refund conditions

    Before you set off, check the current conditions of carriage on your ticket and border crossing rules on official websites. You can find a convenient bus journey and compare departure times and prices on RedRay.
