Chicago to Brook Park

Pros: The driver was very nice to let us know exactly what stops we were coming up to, and making sure everyone was accounted for before we continued with our drive. The drive was smooth and very quick despite it being 6 hours from Chicago to Cleveland, that was a plus! Cons: Perhaps the floor and seats could be cleaned a bit, though I was hesitant to use the bathroom; I can't complain considering it is a porta-potty. Tips: Make sure to bring a few snacks for on-the-go, anything that could fill you up in between stops. Can't guarantee there's enough time to stop to buy a full meal.

Barons Bus Bus Guide & FAQs

We recommend you bring a book or download a movie just to play it safe. Barons Bus WiFi is generally best used for surfing the web, checking emails and chatting with friends; you shouldn’t count on the WiFi to binge watch your favorite show.

Yes, there are power outlets onboard Barons Bus buses. You can generally find one or two sockets per row of seats, so be a good traveller and check if your seat neighbor might want to charge up their devices as well. With the onboard power outlets, you can charge both a computer and USB devices with a USB power adapter that typically comes with most phones and tablets.

Since Barons Bus might sometimes use replacement bus vehicles, not all trips are guaranteed to have power points. We recommend to bring a power bank to charge your phone for all trips over 2 hours, just in case.
