When booking a bus in India, you will need to know what class you want to travel on.
Are you going to take a local bus or a sleeper bus? If you are traveling for just a couple of hours, go to the bus station and book a local bus. It’s super cheap.
But if you are traveling on a long journey, book a sleeper bus for comfort.
When booking a sleeper bus, there are also several different classes, deluxe, semi-deluxe, or super deluxe. If your budget isn’t too tight, we suggest the super deluxe.
It is a roll of the dice how luxurious you will get, but from our trip to Mumbai, we had a good looking Volvo semi-sleeper bus in deluxe class.
It was shiny and new. A sweet little guy took our bags and asked us what stop we wanted to get off at in Mumbai.
The drive on the bus was much safer than we expected. We had read that drivers are reckless. But we felt safe and comfortable on our ride. (that’s not to say you won’t have a different experience.)
We took other busses during our time in India and we felt that the drivers were safe on them as well.
