Practical Tips for Snacking on Megabus
- Choose Wisely: Opt for snacks that are easy to eat and don't create a lot of mess or strong odors. Items like trail mix, packaged crackers, pre-cut fruit, or sandwiches are excellent choices.
- Pack Smart: Use sealable containers or bags to prevent spills and keep your snacks fresh.
- Stay Hydrated: Bringing your own water bottle or non-alcoholic beverage is encouraged. Ensure all drinks have secure caps to avoid accidental spills during transit.
- Be Considerate: While snacks are permitted, remember you are in a shared space. Avoid foods with strong or lingering odors that might bother other passengers.
