The seats are often cramped together plus uncomfortable, plus there always seems to be someone snoring unbelievably loud, one of the largest inconveniences I’ve face when traveling this way was when one bus had the absolute worst heating I’ve ever seen.
I’ve never liked having to ride on a bus for an extended phase of time, however the fact of the matter is that it’s usually the most cost efficient method of travel for me so I have to deal with the uncomfortable trip as best as I can if I don’t want to spend a fortune on airline costs. With that said, I’ve done a lot of traveling via bus plus have experiences trips upwards of 12 hours, however long distances are responsible for a lot of this, however layovers plus troubles along the way have also played their part in making an already terrible trip worse. The conditions on the buses even when the trip goes well also leave something to be desired. The seats are often cramped together plus uncomfortable, plus there always seems to be someone snoring unbelievably loud, one of the largest inconveniences I’ve face when traveling this way was when one bus had the absolute worst heating I’ve ever seen. The heater was barely on, despite it being September plus cold, plus the warm air from the vents dissipated before it could be blown on you, then during a restroom stop, when the bus cleared out mainly for the smokers to step out for a few minutes, I went up to ask the busdriver about the poor heating. He apologized for my concerns plus turned the heating on the bus up once my pal and I started going again, which made a world of a difference; Apparently the policy was that the bus drivers could only adjust the heating plus cooling if recommended by a passenger. While that was particularly a pain, I’ve unblessedly deal with even worse while in my travels, however at least the buses are economical for my wallet.
