The bus is the most popular transport nowadays. Many people choose the bus as the best means of transportation for them due to the many advantages they find in it. Others never get on a bus, thinking only of the disadvantages, which really are many. Here I tell you the reasons why it is better to choose to travel by bus than to travel with your car, for example.
Good vantage points for traveling by bus
Many people choose bus transportation because it is cheap. This is the main reason why when you get on a bus you will see mainly students and older people. Tickets for long destinations are much cheaper than plane tickets. You can also buy a card for each month and travel at a reduced rate. This is also a good advantage for choosing bus transport, because it saves you money that you can spend on your next vacation.
Another good advantage of bus transportation when making short trips is that bad weather will not be a problem for the bus driver. If you plan to go to the nearest town with your bike and it starts to rain or snow, you will surely get wet. If you choose the bus, you can save yourself this awkward situation and it can also save you money because it won’t make you sick. Also if you choose to take a flight and you are surprised by the weather and a storm comes out, you may have to wait for hours because of delayed flights.
However, this will not happen if you choose to travel by bus. In the modern buses, you will have air conditioning, a bathroom, the stewardess will offer you drinks and snacks to make your trip more pleasant, and there are also at least two televisions in the new travel buses. So you can enjoy your trip by watching a movie and having a snack without worrying about when the next bathroom stop will be. Also, if you travel by bus for more hours or even days, you can always make new friends there. So the new social contacts are the other advantage of the bus. And if you have to choose between plane or bus, remember that you will see much more if you travel by bus. The bus also stops at many places during the trip and in that time, you can have a coffee or a cigarette if you are a smoker. On the plane this could not be done.
Another good advantage of buses is that they reduce traffic jams at rush hours in big cities. Imagine that everyone uses cars. Traffic jams will be much bigger than they are now. In some countries like India, a bus can carry more than 150 passengers. Imagine if all these people were using their cars instead of bus transportation, the cities would be overcrowded.
