A comprehensive guide!

Australia, known for its breathtaking landscapes, vibrant cities and diverse wildlife, is a dream destination for many travelers. One of the most convenient and affordable ways to explore this vast continent is by Greyhound bus. The Greyhound bus offers an extensive network of bus services covering almost every corner of the country, especially on the east coast of Australia. In this in-depth guide, we’ll take a closer look at the different passes you can buy, how they work and what they include.

The various Greyhound passes

The Greyhound bus offers different passes to suit your needs and travel plans.
How long are the passports valid for?

The passes are limited in time and you can choose the length of time when booking. However, it is important to know that the Greyhound ticket is valid from the first day you sit on the bus. Not from the time of booking! You have one year from the time of booking to use the ticket. And from the first sector, it is valid for the time you have chosen.

The Whimit Pass offers you unlimited travel for a fixed period of time. You can travel as often as you like and use the entire Greyhound route. You can travel in different directions and have complete flexibility.

East Coast Whimit Pass:
