[quote=APAULT,281371]Very thorough Jabs. I agree coach travel is generally quite safe and comfortable, though I have been on one or two driven by would be rally drivers! I must say my experiences are a little different and that I have frequently experienced overcrowding and sometimes smoking. In many instances the bus is checked to have no unseated passengers as it leaves the bus station, then 100m down the road the rest get on. Everyone knows this is happening, but it is on no-one's job description to do anything about it, so it continues. About 3 times, say 1% of my trips, there has been an en-route inspection, on two occasions the inspector has used a camcorder to take pictures of the passengers. There are also sleeper buses which provide minibunks to sleep on (or try to) on overnight trips. My observation is that most look as thiough they have already done about a million kilometres and there are few new ones. As Jabs says, once you have worked out where you can catch a bus, they are a good way to travel.[/quote]
