Travel is a very important part of life. Everyone has to travel for a reason or other. As word “Travel” is mentioned, a long list of conveyances does come in light. Airplanes, Trains, Buses, Private Taxi are to mention some and it would continue to grow with the advent of new technologies. Each conveyance has its own reach and importance in a travel.
Of many modes of transport, Buses have their own importance – whether it is availability, reach, fare, network to compare some. It is the most common mode of travel in India. In India these are largely owned by private bus operators. Many state government agencies also have their own bus agency to support tourism in their respective state.
For any travel or outing plan Buses are considered to be the best mode of travel. This is due to availability of large networks of roads and all the sites through which these roads pass. Though buses are considered best for any travel plan, the thought of hassle in bus ticket booking puts them down in the list. The most worst part being the QUEUE.
