What is the policy for children traveling on Megabus?

Asked 2 years ago
Megabus has specific policies regarding children traveling on its services, which primarily focus on age restrictions and ticketing requirements. Typically, children aged two years and older are required to have their own ticket; however, children under the age of two may travel free of charge, provided they do not occupy a seat. It is important for parents or guardians to note that any child traveling alone, specifically those under the age of sixteen, is generally not permitted unless they are traveling with an adult. The passenger is responsible for ensuring the safety and well-being of children throughout the journey, which includes the use of seatbelts when provided. While Megabus endeavors to accommodate families traveling with children, it is always wise to check the latest information directly on the Megabus website, as policies may vary by route and location. Additionally, for families considering travel, planning ahead can enhance the overall travel experience, ensuring that all necessary arrangements are made for a smooth journey.
