[quote=APAULT,36612]My experience is closer to Ellyse's I think. The best buses will not carry excess passengers and are strict on smoking. On many trips men lit up, but in only a few cases did the attendant do anything. Excess passengers is the norm as far as I am concerned. Often the buses are inspected when they leave the bus station to make sure they are not overfilled, then just 100 metres down the road they pull out the plastuic seats or even wooden benches! BUT I have never travelled on a bus with sleeper seats, I guess it is harder to overfill them. Trains are harder to book in busy times, but they are generally more comfortable as you can move around. It is also easier to meet people on trains, I usually find an English corner evolves after a couple of hours as students etc come from all over the train! I use whichever is most convenient or cheaper! Cheapness has also taken me onto non aircon buses wwhere everyone smokes (yuk), we detour off the freeway to see if there are any passengers and your nose is in someone's armpit and but it's all part of seeing China![/quote]
