Bus

The only statewide bus service is by Greyhound , which connects all major and mid-sized
Florida cities, but not always smaller towns (even some popular beach towns). Regional or
city-run buses cover their more limited areas much better; used together, these bus sys-
tems make travel by bus possible, but time-consuming.
It's always a bit cheaper to take a Greyhound bus during the week than on the weekend.
Fares for children are usually about half the adult fare.
