Summary
How Do Buses Work in France?
Today is the first episode in a series that I am calling France on the Cheap where I explain some of the things you can do to save some money while in France.
Why is it important that you understand bus transportation at all if you never take the bus at home? In light of recent strikes in France it's pretty clear that's a good idea to understand all the ways you may use to get around while on your vacation in France. Also, buses are the most inexpensive way to get around in France. Buses are a wonderful way to get a feel for regular French people and use your French, even if it's basic French, it'll come in handy!
In this episode I also explain how buses to other European countries work, and list some of the companies you may consider. There is a lot of competition in this area which is a good sign.
