20+ Things to Know Before You Travel By Bus in the USA

February 21, 2018 by Karen Turner 10 Comments

I have many talents, but driving is not one of them. I’ve never been given a driver’s license, so I’ve been forced to travel by bus in the USA. Although it’s maybe not “cool” to travel by buses around the United States, taking Greyhound buses and Megabus is often a good cheap way to travel around the USA.

Keep reading for my recommendations for the bus companies in the United States, reviews of different bus companies in the US, what to know about bus travel in the United States, and what to bring on long bus trips in the United States.

Should you travel by bus in the US?

Yes, and no. If your trip around the United States is focused on city hopping, especially within one region (e.g. East Coast), traveling by bus in the United States is a good choice.. It’s often cheaper and easier not to have a car in big cities in the United States as parking can add up.  However, it depends a lot on the city as some cities have great public transportation system while others have terrible public transportation systems.

If you’re planning on focusing on the beautiful National Parks, you’re going to have difficulty getting around more rural areas of the US without a lot of money spent on taxis.  Some National Parks have better infrastructure in terms of getting there without a car (e.g. Yosemite), but many parks are quite rural and require extra time/money to get there without a car.  It might make sense to take a bus for some legs of your journey and do tours once you’re within a city.  This will be cheaper than all-inclusive options.

Bus travel in the United States is far more sustainable than traveling by car around the United States.  People love to write about road trips, but bus travel is way more eco-friendly!  Similarly, not everyone can afford a car or it doesn’t make sense to drive into another big city.

As a result, I think that travel by bus around the US can be a great option for those on a budget, anyone who’s into sustainable travel, and for those who don’t want to have to bother with driving in big American cities.

Bus travel in the United States is often not as advertised online in terms of wifi and on-board entertainment. Although many bus companies are interested in creating more premium experiences and improving the average bus experience, my experiences traveling by bus in the United States has been gritty and unglamorous. This has been the case for my husband too. ( What did you think you were getting when you paid $25 for a 8 hour bus across the country?)

National bus companies in the United States

You’ll encounter a lot of bus companies in the United States although many are regional bus lines that I haven’t personally encountered. Most of the time, unless it’s a major American holiday, bus travel doesn’t require significant planning beyond a day or two in advance.  American buses tend to be cheaper if you book way in advance with a major company (e.g. Greyhound or Megabus) while regional bus rates tend to rise less closer to the dates.

Greyhound is the most ubiquitous bus company in the United States.  Among the bus companies, the opinions about Greyhound buses online  tends to be more favorable although most people I know who regularly take Greyhounds aren’t their biggest cheerleaders.  The coverage of Greyhound buses is good across the country and you can get across the United States on a Greyhound on the drop of a hat.

However, you will probably have numerous stop-offs in various cities, which can add some time.  However, it’s possible to get to Yosemite with a Greyhound, which is why if you’re traveling in the United States without a car.  It’s often best to buy Greyhound tickets at least two weeks in advance and they have special deals if you buy online.

It’s basically very hard to get a $1 fare on Megabus at this point, but you can get some good deals on Megabus if you book ahead.  I started taking Megabus when it got started.  At this point, Megabus tends to be standard and their concept is getting you there.  The demographic for Megabus is considerably younger than Greyhound and you’ll find a lot of students taking Megabus.

Megabus tend to be stricter about bag sizes although they more uniformly have working outlets on their buses.  Coverage for Megabus is best on the East Coast, Midwest, and between college towns in the United States. They also have some coverage on the West Coast.

My husband has sworn off Megabus after the wheels almost caught on fire and the driver told the passengers it wasn’t safe to continue.  He was forced to wait in the middle of nowhere waiting for a new bus to come pick them up.  A couple of other friends have similar stories although I generally take Megabus given the choice as I find people are a bit more considerate.

BoltBus is a “premium” bus company that runs on the East and West coast.  Their buses tend to be much newer and nicer than others that I’ve taken, however the routes are more limited to major cities on the coasts.  Their plugs tend to work much more reliably and recently, they started including movies in the price of the bus.

I’ve generally liked BoltBus and I wish that they would expand to more cities.  It’s my go-to choice for traveling from New York City to Washington DC.

Trailways Transportation System

Trailways is a network of 70+ regional bus companies in the United States that compromises the oldest bus network in the United States.  Their network crosses the United States and I’ve taken Trailways quite a few times.  I find their buses not as uniform as you’re likely to be switching companies as you switch state lines.  Most of my experience taking Trailways meant that I had long layovers in rural Pennsylvania at one particular transfer point.

For smaller cities with less coverage on the big names, I find that Trailways is more reliable in helping you find a route although it might add time to your journey.  It depends on the bus journey, however I find that Trailway buses tend to stop off a lot more although it makes the journey through the United States far more scenic as you’re often taking non-highway routes.

Other Bus companies in the United States

There’s a ton more bus companies in the United States, including Vonlane (Texas), Fullington Trailways (New York/Pennsylvania), Utah Trailways (Utah), Burlington Trailways (Vermont), Jefferson Lines, Bieber Tours (Pennsylvania/New York), Barons Bus Lines (East Coast),  Adirondack Trailways (Canada/New York), RedCoach (Florida; premium bus), Capital Trailways (South/Alabama), Hoosier Transportation (Midwest/Iowa/Michigan/Kentucky), Indian Trails (Michigan), Peter Pan (East Coast), Orange Belt (California), etc. There’s a ton more.  If you’re not seeing a route to where you’re going, I recommend stopping by the bus station to see if there’s a bus heading that way on a regional line.

On the east coast and the west coast, you’ll also find Chinese bus companies that run between the Chinatowns or downtowns of major cities on the East Coast/West Coast.  The Chinese bus companies are often the cheapest option if you’re traveling to/from New York City or LA to a nearby major city.

Due to price, I often took the Chinese bus companies.  These bus rides went by without incident for me, but my cousin was stranded in the middle of nowhere after a bus broke down and the bus company wasn’t helpful at all.

Things to know about bus travel in the United States

The bus stations….

With the creation of the interstate highway system, buses in the United States stopped being as popular as they were before.  The bus infrastructure has suffered as a result.  Most bus stations tend to be on the dingier side and do not require a ticket to enter the bus station, so it’s best to be aware of your belongings.  Most bus stations in the United States tend to be located in the city center, which aren’t always in the best neighborhoods.

In the case of many of the “newer” bus lines (e.g. Megabus), their business model is about cutting out the bus station to pass on savings to consumers.  This means that their bus station may be a Walmart parking lot or simply a curb on a sidewalk.  As a result, you might be forced to wait outside for the bus and/or there may be no bus station for you to wait inside at.  Bring an umbrella if you think this might be the case.

Finding the bus departure place may be harder than you realize!

Often, bus terminals for Greyhound and other regional bus stations are well-established terminals in the city center.  However, for some of the newer bus companies, they have their buses designated in a large area.  You’re going to need an extra twenty minutes at minimum if you’re taking Megabus to find your bus if it’s departing from most major cities.

In New York, I’ve found that I need the extra time to walk past all the buses waiting to find the correct departure point. Similarly, when I took BoltBus out of DC, I had to spend a while searching for the one departing for NYC as there were more than five buses departing around the same time.

You might get dropped off in the middle of nowhere

Modern-day America has been built for cars.  For most major cities, you’ll be dropped of at the bus terminal, which can be far from the non-downtown parts of a city. I used to often take one route and the bus terminal was over three miles from the main downtown area, which can be tricky if you don’t have a car.

In one case, I was forced to take a taxi as it wasn’t possible to get from the bus terminal to my final destination (the airport) without it.  It’s good to check where the bus stop will be as you don’t want to need to take a taxi to get there.  Google Maps in my go-to source.

Avoid buses that depart or arrive late at night

Trust me on this one. A lot of cities have poor transportation after a certain hour (often eleven at night), and often bus terminals are in the heart of the city center.  Unlike European cities, many American city centers aren’t uniformly safe and I recommend using some caution if you’ll be walking around with all your valuables late at night.  Crime in America is an issue.

Book in advance to get the best times and prices

Many bus companies, especially Boltbus and Megabus, advertise low rates if you book as far in advance as possible.  I often take Megabus and wait to see when the tickets go on sale, so I can get one of the first tickets, which is typically less than $5.  If you wait too long, especially for holiday weekends, the prices will go up considerably.  That said, you’ll find a bus to your destination within a day or two if you simply head to the bus station on short notice.

Not every bus still has wifi… or working plugs

A good playlist is always a good idea. Photo by VadimGuzhva/bigstockphoto

Although many bus companies advertise that buses have wifi, the wifi on the bus is ridiculously slow, throttled for video, and unreliable.  I’ve been on countless buses where the wifi never worked because it didn’t have wifi, the wifi was broken, or there were too many people on it at once.

It’s become trendy to have outlets, but often, the outlets are somewhere really inconvenient or they don’t work.  A lot of people think initially that they’ll work on the bus, but I find that it’s not a conducive environment for working as the seat-tray makes it hard to fit a laptop in many cases.

This becomes especially true when others decide to lean their chair back.  I’ve been on buses where the outlets were above you in the “ceiling”, so unless you spend the whole bus ride holding your plug in the outlet, you will not be charging your electronics.  Some of the newer buses have improved upon this design and have easy-to-access plugs/usb ports.

You need identification and often your bus ticket printed

Typically, any photo identification will do, however the name needs to match the ticket. That means that you typically can’t use your friend’s ticket. If you’re a foreigner, I recommend having your passport on you.

Not all bus companies allow e-tickets, so I always print my ticket ahead as finding a good place to print my ticket isn’t always easy near the bus station.  Some bus companies are better about accepting e-tickets, so check the terms to see if it’s enough to have a ticket on your phone.

The real reason that I always print my ticket?  I need to have my phone charged enough for when I arrive.  As a result, I recommend having it printed, so you don’t need to worry about having your phone charged up for the next transfer or for when I arrive at the destination, particularly if it’s a long bus ride.  I often find myself playing on my phone, which can kill the battery.

Your bus ticket is typically non-refundable and for a specific time

Unless you pay extra for a refundable ticket, you’re often getting one for a specific time. Don’t miss your bus! Some bus companies allow you to change the ticket for the difference in ticket price in addition to a fee, but I’ve actually bought a ticket in most of those cases as it was cheaper than the change fee.

Oh, the people you’ll meet!

Dr. Seuss must have taken buses around the United States. While most of my bus trips have gone by without incidence, both my husband and I have some  memorable  bus travel stories as do most of my friends. Most people sleep, stare out the window, talk to friends on the phone, or chat with friends on the bus. Let’s be clear that most people you’ll encounter on the buses will be non-offensive, but as I have regularly taken regional buses through rural areas, you’re bound to meet some characters.

This following story is from my husband who took a twenty-four hour Greyhound bus from Pennsylvania to Kentucky via Ohio…

Over the Thanksgiving holiday, many students choose to take Greyhound home because it is so cheap.  You’re  not supposed to bring alcohol on the bus, however some people do.  This student had smuggled a bottle of peach flavored vodka on the bus.  He was hell-bent on talking to every girl on the bus and switched seats countless times.  He was drinking the vodka and kept offering it to the girls.  After they all rejected it and him, he sitting up next to me. There was a girl nearby from Hawaii who was heading to a friend’s house in Iowa to celebrate Thanksgiving.  The girl and the guy hit it off and get very drunk on the bus.  They start having a big make-out session, so the whole bus was just eavesdropping while some were openly watching them.   The issue was that it was night-time and they were being loud while everyone else on the bus was trying to sleep. The first leg took us to Columbus, which is a big switching point for buses.  I was heading south from there as was the guy.  The girl was heading further west from there. We get to Columbus and they decide that they’re in love .  The girl invites him to come to Iowa with her to her friend’s house and the guy actually switches his ticket to go to Iowa.  Sure enough, they left for Iowa together to her friend’s parents house. Imagine her friend’s reaction when she shows up hungover with this random guy she met on a Greyhound.

Don’t drink too many liquids

This is a newbie bus mistake.  It’s good to stay hydrated and I typically bring at least one bottle of water for longer journeys, however I generally avoid bus bathrooms.  More importantly: Some buses, especially regional ones for shorter legs, don’t have a bathroom on the bus.  Be sure to use the bathroom at the bus terminal before you leave!

It’s not a guarantee that your bus will stop off at a bus station or rest stop long enough for you to go inside.

For longer trips, keep in mind that the bus will probably stop off at a rest stop as they’re not allowed to drive over a certain number of hours without stopping.  It’s not a guarantee for shorter journeys that the bus will stop off at a rest station long enough for you get something to eat, so bring your own food/drinks ahead.

If it looks like you’ll have fifteen minutes waiting at a station for passengers, be sure to tell the bus driver that you’ll be back to ensure that the bus doesn’t leave without you.  There’s often a line for the restroom at rest stops.

Set an alarm

Photo of man sleeping on overnight bus in the United States. Read more tips for surviving long bus trips and what to know before taking a Greyhound bus in the United States.

On long bus rides, you might fall asleep. That’s fine, however if your destination isn’t the final destination, you’ll want to set an alarm on your phone before the time that your bus is supposed to arrive.  There might be traffic, but in general, it’s a safe move.

One suitcase and one backpack.  Keep your valuables with you.

Remember that you’re NOT on a plane. Some bus companies are more lax about luggage, however if it’s a crowded bus or you’re traveling over major holiday, you might need to pay for an extra bag.  I also recommend avoiding having your stuff in bags if possible as I’ve seen people get rejected from boarding onto buses when carrying their belongings in plastic bags.

I tend to keep my valuables in my backpack rather than below the bus, especially if the bus has a lot of stop off points  I recommend labeling your bag clearly as it’s hard to find a black suitcase among 50 other black suitcases .  Weird size luggage might cause issues, so ask beforehand.

Typically at stops, people take their items from the hull, so unless you want your bag taken by mistake, it’s best to keep your valuables in your backpack with you on the bus.  I’ve never had a bag stolen or taken by mistake, but if it’s a long ride with a lot of stops, I recommend labeling your bag clearly and packing your backpack carefully.

Be early for the bus!

Although it hasn’t often happened, buses leave on time.  More often than not, they’ll wait a couple more minutes for passengers who are running a few minutes late, but I’ve seen so many people running after the bus without success.  You need time to get your luggage under the hold.  Certain bus companies, including Megabus, overbook their seats, so if you’re not there early and it’s a full bus, you might get rejected on the bus and need to wait for the next one.

What to bring on long bus trips in the United States

If you’re wondering what to pack for an overnight bus trip, I’m well-experienced in these long miserable journeys that I’ve done to save money.

Be sure to bring antibacterial gel

easy travel bus

Some bus bathrooms are best avoided.  Similarly, the soap dispenser may not work. Be sure to have your own antibacterial gel to clean your hands with, especially if you plan on eating.

Travel Pillow.

easy travel bus

This is the MOST important item that you’ll want to pack for an overnight bus trip as I struggle to sleep without a good travel pillow. I have this exact travel pillow and I love how small it folds up!

Backpack that will fit your valuables, including your laptop.

easy travel bus

I recommend looking for a carry-on friendly sized backpack that can fit your backpack as well as most of your valuables, so that they’re close to you.

Your iPad and a season of shows lined up with some headphones.

easy travel bus

This is definitely not a necessity, but if you’re going to have a lot of long bus trips, I recommend bringing an iPad , so you can watch movies on the bus.  Download your shows before you leave wifi!

easy travel bus

I recommend not buying your snacks at the bus station if possible as the prices tend to be a lot higher and the selection isn’t as good as going to the supermarket! Avoid peanuts as some people are really allergic.   I really like to carry granola bars with me as they’re hard to smoosh and non-messy.

Wear layers and bring a sweatshirt.

easy travel bus

You never know when the bus will be too warm or too cold, so I always try to bring a sweatshirt to put on over my clothes in case I get cold! I recommend dressing comfy and you’ll be sitting for many hours.

A good book and a reading light.

easy travel bus

For night buses, the driver typically shuts off the lights after a certain time. Although there’s a reading light from above, I’m often very conscious of it annoying the people around me.  Instead, I usually bring my own reading light as well as a good book.  For a good read, I recommend Night Film (which will take you many hours to finish), the Power , or On the Road for some American travel inspiration.

External Phone Battery Charger

easy travel bus

You never know when there won’t be a working charger on the bus and you might need to make a phone call. Don’t let your phone die and carry an external phone battery charger .

Wow, I live in the US and I have never even considered bus travel (excluding taking the Megabus very occasionally from San Francisco to LA). That’s such a cool way to travel the country, and I will definitely have to consider it in the future! Thanks for sharing all these helpful tips.

The US is so spread out that it’s difficult to see a lot of it without access to a car. Bus is often the only option for many travelers. I’ve never traveled long distance by bus in the US, but I’ve heard they’re pretty unpleasant.

I haven’t been to the US of A but everyone has always told me that if you want to move around, you need a car. That is the only way to travel unless you consider flights which can get expensive. I was pleasantly surprised to know that the bus routes are usable.

Super comprehensive and useful guide! I felt I’ve learned a lot about the buses in U.S just from this post. The reading light is a great suggestion – I’m gonna consider that the next time I fret over bringing a book on trips! Same like you, I feel conscious that the overhead light will be disturbing to my neighbour 😉

I went to college in DC so def took the fung wa chinatown bus many times! I did have a greyhound driver once say (at a rest stop) “I dont count heads, I just count time” meaning he was rolling out at the designated time with or without you! I think now at age 40, I’ve graduated from Bus travel.

Don’t use Greyhound bus.. Many of the buses are unsafe, employees for the most part are rude worst of all is the huge amount of lost luggage. Its piled in s warehouse in Dallas I think, and you will never see it again. Mine was lost last summer and none will help me get it back. Travel Greyhound at your own risk.

The buses are affordable but the catch is, IF YOU CANCEL YOUR TRIP, ITS ‘ZERO’ REFUND! However, they can reschedule you at no cost. So, think well and be sure before you book!!

Tip for sleeping on busses

If you are fortunate enough to have 2 seats to yourself push back your seat to the limit. Then leave the other seat in upright position. You can then test your Head on the other seatback. About as comfortable as it gets on a bus

Bus Tours Abroad: Are They Worth The Ticket?

Some travelers have anxiety about visiting new places on their own. Is a bus tour when abroad worth the ticket or should you skip it altogether?

  • Bus tours in Europe can be costly due to the added expenses of transportation and tour guides.
  • Traveling in a group can provide ease and safety for those unfamiliar with a new country's intricacies.
  • While bus tours offer convenience, smaller-scale tours can be a more budget-friendly option for travelers.

In the United States, it's a common occurrence to participate in various inexpensive bus tours when visiting a new destination. While these are also available abroad, with many bus tours available for the hot spots of Europe , travelers tend to pause a bit before finalizing their bookings. For some, this is due to cost. With a trip to Europe already being a costly affair, adding extra expenses can push a person's budget.

But is the extra cost worth having a tour guide and reliable transportation? Some people believe that it is, while others prefer to forge on by themselves with a reduced price tag.

16 Vacation Spots In Europe That Won't Break The Bank

Traveling abroad can be stressful, many are out of their comfort zone when visiting new countries.

When you are setting out on a vacation to see the most unique tours in European destinations , you can feel overwhelmed at the planning details that come into play. Not only are you dealing with language barriers in most countries, but there are navigation issues to contend with, as well as laws and regulations that are unfamiliar.

Because of these details, many find it easier to sign up to travel as part of a group. Many will meet in a centralized location, such as London or Paris, and ride together on a bus to explore various spots around the country, with some even expanding into additional countries.

Not only does this take a load off of traveler's minds by not having to know all the intricacies of the countries they are visiting, but it is a gentle nudge out of their comfort zones as well, in that a tour group provides a safety net of sorts.

Many Bus Tours Are Costly

It's easy to spend hundreds or thousands of dollars on various bus tours.

While embarking on a bus tour can be beneficial and bring peace of mind to those visiting a new destination, the cost of traveling in that way doesn't come cheap. You're paying an additional price for the use of a chartered bus, plus the dedicated tour guides' time and accommodation as well as any other staff that is part of the operation.

An alternative to the high cost of lengthy bus tours is to participate in smaller-scale versions in the destinations that you travel to. Websites like Expedia and Viator compile all the services available for the major landmarks and the prices associated with each.

While travelers will need to secure their own transportation to the meeting spots, these tours often come at a lower price than the larger scale versions.

How I'd Spend $1,000 On A 7-Day Trip In Europe

Are bus tours when abroad worth the cost, does the cost outweigh any benefits or are the tours worthy of such high price tags.

Because there are so many different types of tours, it's hard to know which are worthy of the rate charged without a bit of research. When it comes to the Hop On/Hop Off Tour Buses that are prevalent in many big cities, a majority of tourists do deem them worth the cost.

For many, the fact that you can also utilize the tour as a means of public transportation means that they can avoid paying for additional rides throughout the city and instead can get back on the tour as they wish until they reach their chosen destination.

Many Hop On/Hop Off Tours allow you to select the number of days you wish to purchase, and at times you can also bundle the purchase with tickets to local museums or attractions.

These small, local excursions are often easier to slide into the budget than others. On the flip side, booking a bus tour in Iceland , for example, that spans several days may come at a higher cost than what you're willing to pay. Historic and scenic bus tours all around the world have high price tags, so shop carefully.

While the ease of travel and having ongoing access to reliable transportation and a knowledgeable guide can come as a comfort to many who are anxious about travel, it's easy to see how that expertise and security come at a price. Because of this, many choose to book their tours on their own, filling in the gaps with small local operators when needed.

Is there a benefit to bus tours when you are abroad? Absolutely. Are they worth it? Most travelers would also agree that they are. However, if you are a budget traveler, the price may not be feasible. Don't let the lack of funds keep you from your adventures, step out of your comfort zone and explore to your heart's desire!

    General election latest: Labour lead grows to high not seen since Truss was PM - as Chancellor Jeremy Hunt admits tax cuts failed to dent poll deficit

    A new poll shows Labour surging, despite the Diane Abbott row, as voters say the Tories have had a bad week. But a third of voters say the Labour campaign has not been a success so far. Meanwhile, Jeremy Hunt has admitted that the two tax cuts did not help boost Tory poll ratings.

    Follow along in the morning as we keep up to date with the latest in 2024 General Election campaign.

    The Liberal Democrats are announcing that they will "reverse Tory cuts" to the Public Health Grant and commit to investing £1bn a year as part of a key manifesto commitment.

    The grant is paid to local authorities from the Department for Health and Social Care (DHSC) budget to provide preventative health services.

    The party says there has been a 28% real-terms per person cut in the value of the Public Health Grant since 2015/16 - and that it has been cut in Rishi Sunak's Yorkshire seat by £5m.

    Lib Dem deputy leader Daisy Cooper said in a statement that the Tories have "decimated public health funding, leaving Britain with a ticking time bomb of health challenges".

    She went on: "The public health crisis in our country has Rishi Sunak's fingerprints all over it. He has slashed funding for vital local services that support children, failed to fix our crumbling hospitals and overseen a stark rise in health inequality.

    "The Liberal Democrats would reverse these scandalous cuts and invest in empowering local communities and individuals to lead healthier lives."

    In response, Health Secretary Victoria Atkins said all the Lib Dems have done during the campaign so far is "snipe from the sidelines and taken part in ridiculous gimmicks".

    She said they would "prop up a Labour government" whose plans, in their view, have a £38.5bn "black hole".

    "Rishi Sunak and the Conservatives have a clear plan and have taken bold action," she added.

    The Conservative Party is pledging tonight to build 100 new GP surgeries if it wins the general election.

    Rishi Sunak is also promising to modernise a further 150 existing surgeries, while also expanding his Pharmacy First pledge, saying more treatments would be available without needing to see a GP.

    The expansion of the scheme would offer women more contraceptive options, deliver menopause support, and provide treatment for more conditions, such as acne and chest infections.

    The Tories say that would free up 20 million GP appointments, once fully implemented.

    They are also pledging an expansion of the Community Diagnostic Centres programme, building 50 more on top of the existing 160 which, they say, would expand capacity for another 2.5m checks and diagnostic tests.

    The Tories say this will be paid for by cutting back the number of NHS managers to pre-pandemic levels and halving management consultancy spend across government, insisting the policy is "fully costed".

    The pledge to build new GP surgeries is likely to raise eyebrows, however, after a "damning" report found that the government will not be able to deliver 40 new hospitals by 2030, as promised by the Tories at the last general election in 2019.

    The National Audit Office (NAO) concluded that only 32 of the promised 40 hospitals would be delivered by 2030, due to the scheme being over-budget and hard to deliver ( read more from the report here ).

    In a statement, Rishi Sunak said: "The NHS is one of our most important national assets and the Conservatives are taking the long-term decisions to secure its future.  

    "As part of our clear plan we are investing in community services making it quicker, easier and more convenient for patients to receive the care they need and help to relieve pressure on hospital services."

    Hear more from Health Secretary Victoria Atkins live on Sunday Morning With Trevor Phillips from 8.30am tomorrow.

    Jeremy Hunt has admitted that the two cuts to national insurance in the last year have not made a dent in the party's poll deficit.

    According to the Sky News Poll Tracker , Labour's average lead over the Conservatives has hovered around 20% over the last year, and the government hoped that cutting national insurance by a total of four percentage points would boost their standing amid the cost of living crisis.

    But the chancellor has admitted that those efforts failed.

    Asked by the Mail on Sunday why the PM decided not to wait until the autumn to hold the election to allow for further tax cuts, as then Tory MPs were calling for, Mr Hunt said: "The fact that we've had two significant tax cuts that haven't really changed the polls demonstrates to me that having a third one with the same again is unlikely to change the calculus."

    He also told the newspaper that the view of the Bank of England is that a cut to interest rates takes around 18 months for families to feel the difference, so "the idea that you have a drop in interest rates and suddenly everyone feels good... is to underestimate how people are making this decision".

    But the Tories are today continuing to push Labour on the economy, and in particular around pensions.

    The chancellor has announced what the party is calling a "Pensions Tax Guarantee", which is a promise not to introduce any new taxes on pensions or increase existing ones for the whole of the next parliament.

    He attacked Labour, saying they will introduce a "retirement tax" and "betray pension holders to fill their fiscal blackhole".

    He pointed to a suggestion Labour's Rachel Reeves endorsed in 2018 - before the last election and years before becoming shadow chancellor - to increase taxes on workplace pensions.

    It's 10pm - here's what you need to know as the second Saturday of the election campaign comes to an end.

    Both Labour and the Conservatives have been out on the campaign trail, launching their "battle buses" for the rest of this six-week race.

    Let us get you up to speed on everything you may have missed today…

    • Labour was in Uxbridge , west London, kicking off a 5,000-mile trip around the UK on their "battle bus", fronted by deputy Labour leader Angela Rayner;
    • Launching the bus, Sir Keir Starmer made a few digs at the Conservatives - and former prime minister Boris Johnson, who was an MP in Uxbridge - saying of the bus: "This one I'm reliably told has got a fridge at the back of it, so check that Boris Johnson isn't in there - he used to be around these parts";
    • The joke is in reference to the former prime minister hiding in a fridge as he tried to avoid a TV interview with Good Morning Britain;
    • Later, Sir Keir refused to comment on the row with Diane Abbott , avoiding even saying her name when asked about the situation around her candidacy.
    • Senior frontbencher Steve Reed told Politics Hub With Ali Fortescue  that the Labour leader "hasn't changed his mind [on allowing her to stand] because Diane was never blocked from standing as an MP";
    • Former party adviser John McTernan told the programme that Sir Keir and Angela Rayner agreed behind that scenes that trying to block her was "a huge error" - and this was "bad party management";
    • A new poll has also showed Labour's lead at 20pts - a high not seen with that company, Opinium, since the Truss premiership.
    • Rishi Sunak has been in the North East of England, where he too launched a campaign bus baring the slogan: "clear plan, bold action, secure future";
    • Ahead of his arrival, a soundtrack of indie and pop from the 2000s and 2010s played, including Mr Brightside by the Killers, and Pumped Up Kicks by Foster The People, two US bands;
    • The Conservatives have also pledged to give £20m to 30 towns across the country - a move the Labour Party has branded a "reckless, unfunded commitment";
    • Science minister Andrew Griffith clarified today that this is a pledge of £600m - with £20m earmarked for each of the 30 towns identified by the party;
    • A new poll from Opinium showed Labour 20pts ahead, and 61% of voters do not think the Conservative campaign has been successful, with just 20% thinking it has been.
    • SNP  candidates have been out campaigning across Scotland, and the party's Europe spokesperson Alyn Smith insisted to  Politics Hub With Ali Fortescue  that voting for them is the best way to get rid of the Tories;
    • Workers Party of Britain  leader George Galloway launched their general election campaign, attacking both Sir Keir Starmer and Rishi Sunak as "Blairites";
    • His party's policies, he said, are "of peace, equality, justice, an end to the slaughter in Gaza, and a new direction for Britain";
    • Mr Galloway also claimed he is a candidate for PM, and said he will be taking legal action against ITV and Ofcom to push for his inclusion in Tuesday's prime ministerial debate;
    • Liberal Democrat leader Sir Ed Davey has been taking a break from the campaign trail today to "be a dad", and look after his son John - who has special needs;
    • Despite this, the Lib Dem campaign continued, with Treasury spokeswoman Sarah Olney on a visit in Eastbourne;
    • Reform UK leader Richard Tice has been in Skegness with honorary president Nigel Farage, and the pair were spotted stopping for an ice-cream and chatting with locals.

    The pop band behind New Labour's 1997 anthem Things Can Only Get Better has banned Sir Keir Starmer from using the song in the election.

    D:Ream's founding members Alan Mackenzie and Peter Cunnah said they were dismayed to hear their number one hit  play through a loudspeaker  as Rishi Sunak announced he was calling a general election on 4 July.

    The pair told LBC their first thought was: "Not again."

    But Sir Keir Starmer brushed off the snub, telling LBC: "Well, look, we're not in 1997. We're in 2024."

    The prime minister has taken a defensive approach, signalling the Conservatives' worry about being so far behind in the polls.

    Sir Keir Starmer's visits show the scale of their ambition and highlight Labour's awareness of the challenge they face. They need to gain 125 seats to win the smallest possible majority.

    This campaign is being fought on new electoral boundaries, with many constituencies undergoing significant changes since 2019.

    With just over a week of frenetic campaigning completed, read the full analysis of the approaches of the two main party leaders here:

    Labour has announced plans to reduce net migration - with Sir Keir Starmer accusing the Conservatives of having "repeatedly broken their promises" to get the number down.

    Figures published after Rishi Sunak called the general election showed a net of 685,000 arrived in the UK last year - down from a record of 764,000 in 2022.

    The 2023 figure is still three times the number in 2019 when the last election took place - and the Tories pledged to reduce net migration.

    Labour's proposals to reduce migration centre around boosting skills for British workers, and cracking down on employers that break the law.

    The measures announced today are:

    • Machinery of government changes to ensure cross-Whitehall working to spot skills shortages, so training can be offered to tackle them and avoiding needing to recruit from overseas;
    • Banning employers and recruitment agencies that break employment law from being allowed to hire workers overseas;
    • Ending workplace exploitation, where "whereby migration is used as a way to undercut the terms and conditions of workers here";
    • Reforming the points-based immigration, brought in after Brexit, and legislation to instruct the Migration Advisory Committee (MAC) to work with other government agencies to ensure their approaches are aligned in organising training where there is a gap in skills.

    Sir Keir has pledged a "a future Labour government will bring down net migration".

    He said in a statement that under a government led by him, "Britain will be less reliant on migration by training more UK workers".

    "The Tories have repeatedly broken their promises to bring down net migration," he added, and said they will make the immigration system "work for the people of this country".

    On 12 June, Sky News will host an election leaders' event in Grimsby - a key marginal seat and one of our Target Towns this election year.

    Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer and the Conservative leader Rishi Sunak have been invited to attend, and we are looking for a live audience to join us on the night.

    If you would like to be part of this studio audience, and be given the opportunity to ask a question to one of the party leaders, please complete the short questionnaire in this link .
