I’ve never liked having to ride on a bus for an extended stage of time, but 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 advantage on airline costs.
With that said, I’ve done a lot of traveling via bus as well as have experiences trips upwards of 12 hours.
Long distances are responsible for a lot of this, but layovers as well as troubles along the way have also played their part in making an already awful 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 as well as uncomfortable, as well as there regularly seems to be someone snoring unbelievably loud, then one of the greatest 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 November as well as cold, as well as the hot air from the vents dissipated before it could be blown on you! 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 exhausting heating. He apologized for my troubles as well as turned the heating on the bus up once my associate 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 as well as cooling if commanded by a passenger. While that was truly a pain, I’ve unluckyly deal with even worse during my travels, but at least the buses are economical for my trifold.
