    MOST IMPORTANT ALWAYS sleep with your feet towards the front of the bus. If the bus slams on the brakes, your legs will cushion the impact.

    It reminds me of the night buses I used to catch in the 1980s between London (where I lived) and Paris (where my dad lived). Flying at the time was expensive, and inconvenient because of the airport transfers involved, so I always took the budget option of the bus (which used to cost about US$15) and the bus took roughly 9-10 hours.
    If you were lucky, the bus was empty and you could make a bed on the rearmost seats or even on the floor and get a reasonable amount of sleep. I don't think my 56-year-old bones could take it these days, and I'm carrying some extra lumber.
    I do like the idea of sleeper buses. With earplugs and a soft enough mattress, it would be like rocked to sleep.

    I once took an overnight sleeper bus from Edinburgh UK to London UK which is about 400 miles (644 km). That ride was ridiculously cheap, I think I paid less than 10 GBP (13 USD, 11 EUR) for a ticket bought a few weeks in advance. Unfortunately, as this service wasn't really popular (train or flight are obviously much faster) they cancelled this sleeper service. There are, however, many sleeper trains which are pretty popular across Europe.

      Yes, but the sleeper trains in Europe have an abysmal quality compared to this -- often dirty, terrible beds, spaces more crammed than in this bus, and generally uncomfortable. This bus actually looked like a tiny hotel room, and it's actually cozy.

    • @someotherdude
      @someotherdude 5 років тому

      Somebody ran the numbers a few years ago for a high speed Orlando to Atlanta line, and even that was a money loser- big time, actually. The other problem is that in the USA the construction costs per mile are like 7 times what they are in London, which is in itself very costly. The NYTimes did an article about this. We are no longer capable of building anything at a reasonable cost in the USA. www.nytimes.com/2017/12/28/nyregion/new-york-subway-construction-costs.html

It’s definitely not for everyone but overnight trains are a popular thing even though flying could be cheaper on its own.

    Airconditioned sleeper buses like these are popular across India atleast since 2010. Volvo and Scania are the most popular bus manufacturers here. So famous that overnight, multiaxle buses are colloquially called as 'Volvo buses' the same way photocopiers are called as Xerox. They are perfect for a 400-600km overnight journey. You can sleep well and need not spend on hotels. For distances above 500km or 12 hours, people start preferring sleeper trains or domestic flights to buses.

    I just this week watched an overnight hotel bus in Japan youtube, and it was like a mini cabin and not just sleeping in a coffin. Nice to see the comparison and know I would not do it here in the U.S.. Plus to many bus accidents here lately it seems.

      That flight cost the same as the bus and all it will do is get you to your hotel to immediately go to sleep. With the bus you can sleep on it throughout the entirety of the amount of rest you need. Basically the hotel is extra money that you don't need to spend if u take the bus.

      I have to say it makes sense if you’re considering hotel costs. If you were a traveller, spending that much on hotel and travel is actually a pretty good deal. It’s a thing designed for young people for sure who can take a night of poor sleep in their stride.
