Eating and Sleeping on a Bus during Sukkot

Question

For someone traveling on a bus during Sukkot, is it permissible to eat and sleep there?

Answer

In a city bus, one should not sleep or eat items that are prohibited to be eaten outside the sukkah. However, a traveler on an intercity bus is considered as someone on a journey, and it is permissible to eat and sleep there.
