RedCoach First Class

Pros: Luxury bus to Miami was very nice. Temperature was perfect. Seats were comfy. Unfortunately the luxury bus was not available for my return trip at the time I needed so I booked the economy. That was horrible! Freezing cold even with a sweater on, had absolutely no leg room, knees in back of seat in front of me and my face was literally 8 inches away from seat headrest in front of me. Bus was over an hour late reaching my destination. I'm not sure why because we departed on time. I would not ever take the economy again. Cons: Luxury bus was very nice but economy had no leg room...need room so knees aren't in back of seat in front of you. I'm only 5'6" and if I was any taller I wouldn't have fit. Fix the temperature! Freezing again on the economy bus!! Tips: Bring warm clothes if you are taking economy. And if you are a big person or tall don't take economy!!

Ocala is where the Florida of theme parks and Gulf of Mexico beaches gives way to the other Florida where traditional southern charm continues to make itself known. Located in the north of the state, just shy of the Florida panhandle, Ocala was established in 1849.

Formerly rich in plantations and citrus fruit orchards, today Ocala is a gateway to Florida's natural landscapes, such as the Rainbow Springs State Park and the Ocala National Forest.

One of the state's largest areas of protected forest, the Ocala National Forest spans a mesmerizing 600 square miles of unspoiled woodland crossed by almost innumerable rivers, footpaths, mountain biking tracks, and horse trails. Learn how to bring your bike on the bus or train with you to save money on renting one there.

But that's not to say central Ocala is free of attractions. The Ocala Historic District contains a blend of residential and non-residential buildings worth exploring. For example, The Appleton Museum of Art has a collection stretching from pre-Columbian tribal objects to the latest in modernism.

If all this has you checking out tickets to Ocala, you'll be happy to hear the city is well served by both bus and train routes. You can catch a bus to anywhere from Tallahassee to Houston, while trains connect the area to places like Winter Haven and Baltimore.
