NOR-WAY Bussekspress is one example. They use stand-by coaches able to step in on short notice if the regular capacity is exceeded. | |

Or they could insist on booking in advance whether or not there is space at the last minute. I know some bus companies in Japan do it the last way. | |

| Sep 26, 2014 at 13:16 | comment | added | Tor-Einar Jarnbjo | Well, the terms and conditions actually specify that Greyhound Australia is only obliged to transport you if you have a reservation. This could be interpreted to mean that you are only allowed to use your Hop On Hop Off pass if there are free seats in the bus you intend to travel with. | |
