Well, then it may be time for you to Wanderu<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Not a typo, girls\u2014it’s a nifty new website that gathers bus schedules from multiple carriers, helping travelers find cheaper, faster routes.<\/p>\n

“How is it possible in this day and age we can find any information we want in the Internet, but yet I can\u2019t find out how to get from point A to point B, using non-air transportation?” asks Polina Raygorodskaya, CEO and co-founder of Wanderu, recalling her struggle to find efficient bus transit when she worked in New York and Boston.<\/p>\n

Wanderu, she says, makes it effortless for you to find and book inter-city buses (and trains) between any two points in the country. “It’s super easy to use and completely free!”<\/p>\n

Plus, the concept makes great sense environmentally. According to Raygorodskaya, \u201cOne bus takes 55 cars off the road. I think we\u2019re solving an amazing problem.”<\/p>\n
