About Futa Bus
Bus is a convenient way of travel no matter whether you need to get to a neighboring town a couple of hours away or venture further afield crossing the whole country. Whatever your budget, buses have you covered. Express buses offer the most affordable ticket price for travellers who have very little money to spend. VIP options are geared toward those who do not want to compromise on comfort. Before you jump on a bus, make sure you choose the type of service which suits you best. For a long-haul trip look for a VIP or first-class coach which provides non-stop service to your destination or just call a minor number of stations along the way. Express or local buses in many cases may prove an acceptable choice for shorter trips, but longer rides are often not the best buy. Study the timetable before going as many long-haul destinations are served by night buses, and some offer wider seats or sleeper berths for such travels. Make an online reservation for your bus ticket with Futa Bus. Other travellers’ reviews will help you to choose the best ticket and coach class.

Futa Bus Ticket Prices & Bus Classes
One of the best things about bus travel is that you can almost tailor-make your trip adjusting it to your requirements for privacy and comfort. Different classes and types of buses cater to the different needs of travellers. The cheapest trips are normally offered by standard-class buses. They may be called local, express or ordinary. These are a good choice for shorter trips. Sleepers or VIP coaches are good both for longer and overnight trips. They may offer berths or wide soft reclining seats, sometimes with built-in massage options, blankets, soft drinks, and snacks, or more substantial meals on board or during toilet or refuelling stops. Travelling by night buses allows you to save on a hotel room, but to ensure the most comfortable ride do choose the class of your bus wisely. Prices always depend on the distance you ride and the type of coach. For some, even shorter trips, it is worth investing some extra money and buying a seat on a VIP bus as it can save you twice as much time as you spend travelling by an ordinary bus.
Travel by Bus: Pros & Cons
Pros of Bus Travel
- Bus is the best choice to get to destinations that are not connected by rail or planes. The network of buses often covers almost the whole country, and their routes are well and long-established.
- Opposite to air travel and sometimes rail travel, taking a bus does not require arriving at the bus station much in advance. Check-in, even on international routes, does not take much time. Luggage allowances are usually very traveller-friendly, and the fee for extra luggage, if limits are set, is normally not very high.
- Bus tickets can be more affordable compared to air or fast train tickets. There is always a choice of ticket classes for all pockets. Cheaper standard options may be a bit slow and do not offer top comfort, but anyway acceptable and bring you to your destination. On longer routes, toilets or toilet stops as well as snacks, water, and sometimes toiletries and blankets are almost always included in the price.
- If you are ready to spend more, some VIP coaches offer seating comparable to business class on a plane with wide soft reclining seats, blankets, fewer passengers, and many other perks to make your trip a pleasant journey.
Cons of Bus Travel
- Newer intercity bus terminals are very often located out of the city close to bigger highways to allow buses to avoid city congestion. Unfortunately, it may create extra challenges for travellers, too. Getting to such a terminal may be a problem as in some destinations there are restrictions on vehicles allowed to enter the terminal, and you will have to use special carriers to get there. This results in higher costs as prices may be inflated. Also do calculate extra time if you are travelling during rush hours, especially if you are not familiar with the traffic situation at your starting point.
- Buses are probably the means of transport which runs out of schedule more often than trains or planes. They are heavily dependent on the road situation which sometimes can be unpredictable – accidents, road construction works, detours, etc. This is especially true for travels during weekends, high season, or national holidays. Do keep this in mind and do not plan tight connections.
- Travelling on certain routes or during the most popular periods may require advanced booking. Bear in mind that it is not always possible to show up at the bus station and hop on the next bus – tickets may well be all sold out, so organize your trip accordingly.

Helen LThe bus left on time. I was comfortable, but only because I'm 5'4". Wouldn't have wanted to be much taller. Didn't get any sleep because the driver was frequently beeping and talking with his buddy. We arrived early and it was great getting dropped off at my hotel upon arrival into Da Lat.

Jana DThe journey itself was great. I wished the transfer between the shuttle bus and the actual bus at the bus station was organised better and finding the shuttle bus to hotels after arrival too. We were left to find out what we needed to go, while no one around spoke English.

Asher AAbsolutely terrible experience. Wouldn't recommend it to anyone. The economics of this bus are so faulty, It's literally impossible to have a rest of any kind.
Rude staff, stops at places with awfully dirty toilets. In short, avoid at all cost!

Rachel BThankfully I’d read some feedback from other tourists and understood that we were initially just picked up in a van from the bus shop front and would then get dropped at the bus station and have to wait a bit longer for our large sleeper bus to arrive for the rest of the trip. Found out also that the rego on our ticket confirmed the bus we needed to board. We got the gist that we were having a quick toilet stop in the way - thankfully at clean western style toilets :)
The bus itself was very comfortable and clean - my partner is almost 6’ and found he was comfortable also. We will travel with them again :)

Goetz LWen we arrived in HCMC there was NO guidance. Noone cared about where I needed to go for the included hotel shuttle, and when I asked around all I got where vague directions which didn't help much. At some point I found a nice driver whom I explained my problem via translate app and who brought me to the shuttle. Again, the shuttle didn't even ask where I needed to go. All I could do was follow the drive via gps and asking them to drop me at the street when we were closish.

Sol RVery comfortable bus and it was on time, it even arrived to our destination a little earlier. Check beforehand if they have a toilet, the sleeper did not, but it stopped periodically so it wasn’t an issue for me. The staff were very kind and helpful even though they spoke little English. The company offers a free pick-up service, but you need to contact them personally.

Jennifer DNote that staff in bus stations do not speak English. No restroom on bus, we stopped once in our 3.5 hr journey at clean facilities. Middle row of seats a bit claustrophobic, seats w windows better. "A" seats on ground level, "B" seats require climbing up 3 steps. Good experience overall

Stephen CBus itself was excellent. And free drop off from station to accommodation in Da Lat. bus staion
However, 12Go confirmation said Ben xe Mien Dong not Ben xe Mien Dong MOI, the NEW bus station, which is where the bus left from. We went to the OLD bus station, as per the confirmation. Luckily the bus line runs a shuttle and they rescheduled us as we missed our booked bus by going to the wrong station. Make sure you confirm with the bus line which station you need.

We were then offered another shuttle bus from Futa bus from the bus station to close to our hotel. Plus the bus was very new and the sleeper seats, really comfortable. Excellent service.

Martin RWe were put on a minibus first to take us to the main bus depot and hour away. Nobody explained what was going on and how to get our coach connection but by using logic and common sense and reading the very small print on our ticket we worked it out ourselves and made our very nice comfy coach. Some more communication would have been better but it's their country and their language so no complaints.

Pascal Everything seemed unorganised around this trip. At the Futa office was the only place where employees spoke some English words, on the bus staff spoke 0 English.
No one informed us which shuttle was going to pick us up to bring us to the bus. I had to ask myself 5 times.
We were dropped off at the highway without any explanation with hundreds of others waiting for their bus.
The trip itself on the sleeper bus was horrible because of the driving style of the bus driver and because he was using the ultra loud horn all night.
The drop off service was again chaotic with hundreds of other people waiting for their own drop off location, but we managed to arrive well.

Daniella DI had to be there at 22.20 to check in as the shuttle bus left at 22.30 do the main coach station and the coach was ready for 23.30. The security guard told me the wrong coach and the coach driver put my bag below in the luggage area but luckily another worker checked my ticket and said I was on a different coach. I think they were both heading the same way anyways. The seat was clean, the usb port worked. I found it uncomfortable and don’t sleep much. Had a toilet break at a station half way and arrived an hour early

Hubert GNo one informed us before buying tickets that we will start in minibus and change to sleeper on outskirts of Ho chi minh. Lady in the office at departure location only focused to repeat the same unrecognizable sentences over and over again and get us onboard minivan. We arrived 30mins before, minibus took us 15 mins before scheduled departure and later on we waited for 45mins on another location. Tickets on 12go were bought for direct connection starting 2pm. We took off earlier, waited 45mins and left HCMC at 3pm. Its all messy, communication is limited and its terribly annoying english speakers.
