Deal of the Week: Move Over Eurail Pass -- Say Hello to Busabout! (6/28/2002) Are you a high schooler or college student -- or someone who has adopted a younger mindset -- and headed to Europe this summer? Well, our Travel-Expert-in-Residence, Rudy Maxa, has a deal for you. Most people know about Eurail passes, and there are all kinds of plans, depending on your itinerary -- but how about the flexibility of seeing Europe by bus? A program called Busabout has some perks the trains don't offer -- like on-board guides to the city you're headed to, and help with low-cost accommodations. Busabout serves 66 European cities, and you can hop on and off at will. There are also add-on deals for things like ferry boats to the Greek, Croatian and Spanish islands, including that capital of party islands, Ibiza. No, a case of Red Bull isn't included in the deal. There
are a variety of plans and prices. If you're under 26 years old,
or hold a variety of student or teacher cards, you can hop a bus
during any 6 days in a month for about 250 euros this summer, approximately
$250. Ten days in two months will set you back about $380 -- just
$38 per day.
