Buseet: Public Transportation À La Carte

We all have this one friend who knows Egypt’s public transportation network like the back of their hand and has no problem taking a bus and rubbing against random sweaty strangers, and that’s fine. But for those of us whose sense of dignity is predicated upon our excellent hygiene, it is literally a personal hell. 

Unless you are a billionaire playboy who can afford the cab ride to and from suburbia, the odds for a humane commute in this city are not in your favour. Luckily for us, however, there is an online service that lets you book your bus ride and choose your pick-up and drop-off location like it is you own private limo! Buseet, which is still being piloted, offers more than just a ride, with state of the art vehicles that ensure you have a comfortable commute at an affordable price.

All you need to do is head to their website, choose your departure time, pick-up location, choose from their many shuttle lines and you are in business. But that’s not even our favourite thing about Buseet; what really reeled us in is their promise to let us take both seats - window and aisle! So no awkward ass/crotch to co-passenger’s face moments!
