Transport networks - useful urls/info

[mintae]

i hate sourcing out for transport information so here's hoping we can collate something useful. maybe just random contribution from everyone first then we can collate it nicely on to a new transport info page on this site.


Rail travel- Seat 61
-comprehensive site about rail travel in many countries.
info includes rail from sg to thailand.
even how to get to uk from china, etc. (if you've got a month to spare!)
china to hanoi, etc etc.

gaaaaa. greyhound not cheap.
always look for the smaller bus companies with very crazy bus timings like 7am in the morning. can be half the price of greyhound.

If U are talking about North America travel, almost all smaller bus companies have been bought over by Greyhound.
Unless U are in big cities with lots of asian, you might be able to find Chinese Coach.

For greyhound, Book early like 7 days ahead the price is always cheaper. like 50% of the price when U buy it over the counter for today travel.
