Service Hop-on Hop-off, which can be translated as"Jump in, pop out", appeared on the market of tourist services in the late XX century. Among the operators who offered this service among the first, mention is made of The Original London Sightseeing Tour, the New Zealand company Kiwi Experience and the brand City Sightseeing, whose red double-decker buses can be seen in thirty countries of America, Asia and Europe. Thanks to the fact that the excursion route is known in advance, and the ticket is valid for at least 24 hours, tourists can stay at any stop, get acquainted with the city's favorite area and continue the trip on the next bus, waiting for him at a stop marked with a special sign. During the movement in the salon through the headphones, a recording of the story about the sights is broadcast. The number of languages ​​to which the accompanying text is translated may vary. City Sightseeing excursions in large cities are usually announced in seven languages, including English. Buses with Hop-on Hop-off service, basically, ply one route within the city, occasionally leaving beyond it, if there is an object to look at. However, in large cities of routes there may be more than one. In this case, the display in the front of the bus displays information about the destinations. Often a sightseeing ticket is valid on all routes within the same city. Tickets for Hop-on Hop-off bus tours can vary by validity. There is a day pass, which you can buy around the city before the evening. A daily ticket will allow you to do the same for twenty-four hours. On individual routes, you can buy a two-day or even a three-day travel. The time interval during which tourists have to wait for the next Hop-on Hop-off bus, depends on local conditions. So in the schedule, which can be seen on the site of the excursion project "City Tour St. Petersburg", there are forty-minute intervals. City Sightseeing informs about ten-minute intervals in movement of the buses which, however, in the winter can go less often.
