In the case of Megabus, you may have a seat reserved for you online. It is important to note that a general seat may be upgraded to a reserved seat provided that it is done more than 6 hours before the time of departure. Also, it does not come free of charge.
Second, reserved seating requires you to shell out additional cash. One of the things that set Megabus apart from most other buses is the fact that it has an upper deck. So, in other words, there are lower deck seats as well as upper deck seats available for a passenger like you to choose from.
Before you decide to take an upper deck seat or have one reserved, you need to realize that getting an upper deck seat comes with its set of pros and cons. Knowing what they are is vital for ensuring that you get to have the most comfortable and pleasant bus trip by choosing the right seat for you. When boredom strikes and the long-distance travel by bus has already drained most, if not all, of your energy, there is one sensible thing to do: get some sleep.
This is when the reclining feature of Megabus seats can come in very handy. By having your seat reclined, you will find it so much easier to take a trip to dreamland until it is your time to get off the bus.
In order to have your seat reclined, all you have to do is press the black rectangle button just below the armrest. It is sandwiched by the seat belt buckle and the Megabus seat numbers. As you press on that black rectangle button, use your back to push the backrest of your seat until you are happy with the angle.
You can have your seat reclined partially or fully — as a passenger who shelled out some hard-earned cash for the trip, it is your right to have your seat reclined. However, do take note of the fact that your head will be practically right in the face of the passenger beside you. Would you like for the head of the passenger in front of you to be in your face for as long as he or she is sleeping? For most people, reclining the seat on a tour bus is rude.
This is why those who do not wish to annoy or frustrate passengers behind them refuse to have their seats reclined. You have every right to have your seat reclined on a bus. Similarly, your fellow passengers have the same right — including the one in front of you. If you are not comfortable or happy with the fact that the person in front of you has his or her seat reclined, you may look for another seat. You may try to have your seat reclined or straightened. This may force the passenger behind you to get his or her leg out of the way.
If that does not work, it is completely up to you to choose between putting up with the smell and confronting someone. Before you recline your seat, make sure that there is nobody part or object behind you that will get smashed.
Reclining your seat will make you feel comfortable, but the same cannot be said for the passenger behind you. Many airline companies require fat passengers to purchase two seats. Unfortunately, Megabus and other public transport companies do not have the same policy when it comes to fat passengers. Asked 4 years, 2 months ago. Active 4 years, 2 months ago. Viewed 10k times.

This is a great feature, especially if you are traveling with a companion.
On other major bus lines, you and your friend s might have to sit apart since there is no way to guarantee getting specific seats. Reserving a seat on the Megabus not only ensures that you can sit with friends, but it also lets you pick where exactly you want to sit on the bus. Not all seats are eligible for reservation, but there are seats on both levels to choose from.
No, you don't. Most seats are general seating, and if you board on time with appropriate carry-on luggage, you'll have no problem getting a good seat. When you buy your Megabus ticket, you will receive a confirmation email that will contain a reservation number. This reservation number is very important because it is basically your ticket. You can either print out the confirmation email or pull it up on your phone when you are boarding. Just show your phone to the driver. All Megabus stops are not official stations.
This means that you might be getting picked up or dropped off at a random sidewalk in the middle of the city. For this reason, I highly recommend that you go online and check out the location of the departure and arrival points on your Megabus trip. When you are purchasing your ticket, the addresses for the pick-up and drop-off locations of your trip will be listed. I typically copy and paste these locations into Google Maps and use the Street View feature to check out the surrounding area.
Megabus has very simple and strict luggage limits. You are allowed one small carry-on bag and one checked bag. Your carry-on bag should be able to fit under your seat or in the overhead bin. Your checked bag that will be stored in the bus luggage compartment throughout your trip.
Unlike other bus lines—like Greyhound, for instance—Megabus has no options for traveling with additional luggage beyond those limits. If you show up with more than one checked bag, or if your bag weighs more than 50 pounds, you won't be able to just pay an extra fee and get the other bags on the bus.
One checked bag means one checked bag, period. So follow the luggage guidelines and you won't have any problems. If you show up with more than one checked bag, you won't be able to just pay an extra fee and get the other bags on the bus.
You are allowed on carry on bag and one checked bag with each Megabus ticket. Your checked bag will travel in the luggage compartment under the bus.
Make sure you bring some water as well as a few snacks to munch on during your Megabus trip. Your bus will probably stop for at least one meal break during your trip if you travel for more than 5 hours but you may get hungry or thirsty before and after the break.
I always bring a reusable water bottle when I'm taking a bus trip and refill it for free whenever the bus stops. The temperature on the Megabus can differ from bus to bus.
I've found that the temperature is usually slightly cooler than average room temperature. That's why I always recommend bringing along a light jacket or a travel blanket to keep warm.
