[quote=JABAROOTOO,37378]It’s all a matter of CLASS and CLIENTELE If you can afford it you get a better level of comfort if not you just get the basics. I have pretty well experienced the lot here, except the first class sleeper coaches which are on offer in the some of the more popular tourist routes. I’ve had two other sleeper bus experiences, one broke down and pretty well left all the passengers stranded. I got looked after but it took all day and a few phone calls to a friend to translate. The second was comfortable but the guys smoked up the back as did the drivers. I usually take hard and soft sleeper trains and I have no complaints, even on the one with no air-conditioning. I just sat by the open window the whole time I wasn’t asleep and the smokers at least went to the end of the carriage. Never been on a truly overcrowded one but had to sit up for five hours one night but it was comfortable. Buses on the other hand – Fast Air-conditioned buses are rather luxurious and police the no smoking but get in the rural areas and you need to get on first and pick a good seat or you are pretty well left smoking with the rest of the crew. Not always comfortable but I have experienced a few who have abstained from smoking too much especially while the bus is stationery but only when asked. I also exercise my rights to choose not to smoke everyone else’s foul smoke emissions in especially confined spaces. Again, I highly recommend buses for less than 5/6 hours and trains or planes for anything longer. There are sometimes some great discounts on flights which makes taking a train or bus senseless.
