Games can add fun and excitement to a long bus ride. However, not all adults want to join in the fun and games. Some passengers prefer to read or sleep during bus rides, which means there are fewer people to play games with. If you are traveling on a bus with a smaller group of game players, then consider these activities to pass the time.
