Every bus company we work with will provide a bus that has an electrical outlet at your seat. Typically there are 2-outlet power strips which are shared between the two seats, 1 for each person. If you need to charge a device with a USB (ex. smartphone), bring a plug for an electrical outlet which has a USB port as there are always direct USB ports.

If you have an international electrical device, be sure to bring a plug adapter with you.

If your scheduled departure is more than 30 minutes away, you can simply cancel your original ticket on our website/app and transfer the money as stored credit to OurBus Wallet. This credit will reflect in your Wallet immediately and you can use this to book another ticket on our website/app. You'll need to pay the difference in fare, if any, for a new reservation.
