Busabout vs/ Eurail
 
Has anyone been on Busabout? I am travelling for 3 weeks in June and it seemed to offer quite a bit in terms of stops and flexibility. It does go to many of the cities I was going to anyway and if I limit myself to their zones, I can save about 1/2 over eurail pass ($320 vs $634). I have not found anyone who has been on it and what the pros and cons might be. Thanks a bunch for your help.

I'd love to hear more about it! I think Eurail is expensive. Where did you find out about it? Let me know what you find out and where I can contact them too! Thanks

thanks for the tips folks. i still have not received any replies from people who have been on it. is it because it is fairly new? the drawback seems to be that the buses drive during the day all the time and one would lose sightseeing time to travel time as opposed to taking trains at night and catching a few winks there. i would really appreciate any help out there. thanks
