Buses

Australia, Unites States and Canada differ from most other modern countries, in being larger in area and less densely populated. These are the countries where you are most likely to take really long-distance buses. It can be with Greyhound or other companies.

Outside modern countries, it’s another story.   In developing countries, often buses depart only when the vehicle is full. You also hear tales of bus rides from hell. Check the situation thoroughly before jumping on for long distances.

Hitchhiking

The poorer the place, the more likely you are to have to hitch rides with whomever passes.
Ask local people how you should signal to passing vehicles that you want to ride, as each area of the world has it’s own methods and signs.
In poor countries they most often stop, but also ask for a tip.
