[quote=CHETWYND,227901]In relation to travel around China my experience has been that the buses are much better than the trains. On the trains there are often many more people in a carriage than there are seats. This can be a real problem if you need to get to the loo quickly. It also means that if youre a bit late there will be no room for your luggage. Also, despite the fact that it is banned, people still smoke on the trains..usually around the toilet areas...and it filters back along the carriages. Buses on the other hand are much more tightly controlled. The numbers are restricted to seating numbers only, there is definitely no smoking and they seem to run more frequently than the trains. They also stop frequently at places where you can get meals and reasonably clean toilets. Ever seen a train toilet the morning after an overnight trip?? So, for newbies to travel in China I give the buses the thumbs up. Anyone else have any thoughts on this?[/quote]
