travelling by coach
I would like to know, if travelling by coach is interesting for young
people. Do young adults want to travel within a group or do they prefer travelling individually? |

A friend recently travelled from Edinburgh to London by coach. She reckoned that she was the only Brit on the bus. All of the rest seemed to be speaking Eastern European languages. Is this she wondered an effect of Scotland now having a direct ferry service to the continent and a new doorway for refuge seekers. As she returned by train she did not know if the return trip had a similar ethnic leaning. Derek. |

In which country and for what purpose ? Also please define age range for "young adults" (the term seem contradictory to me). I surely won't qualify whatever the age range is (I'm 48), but I can say the following. - Long distance scheduled coach lines do not necessarily exist in all countries. For instance there is no such thing in Italy, surely not in northern Italy ... there are long distance trains, local trains and local buses, even interurban buses ... but according to the comfort I still call them buses not coaches. - The situation could be different in other countries. I remember that long distance scheduled coach lines existed as alternative to trains in the UK when I lived there (and was young, about 26-28). However even then I'd prefered train over coach ... I get motion sick on cars, buses and coaches (have to take anti-hystaminic), and I find trains anyhow more comfortable (you can walk in the corridor, go to the toilet, take your luggage with you ...) - coaches are used (in Italy and by Italians travelling abroad) for organized tours. These are by definition group travels, although of course the groups are just passengers occasionally travelling together, who booked individually or by families or small groups. I find however that the kind of coach tours I happen to make are populated by more people older than me, and quite few younger ones. I presume younger people like to drive individually. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- is a newsreading account used by more persons to avoid unwanted spam.

Apart from Eurolines (international), there are buses to Siena, Pescara and Lecce, to name but a few. Margaret Coffin InfoRoma - The Rome Experts www.inforoma.it |
