Dear You are wrong, Meerut have three big bus stand inside city and you book a bus not from bus stand. Instead of bus stand you book from highway. Haridwar also have a big bus stand.
Hi Michele, you are at least experiencing a new lifestyle that you will always remember when you tell the story of highway buses in India. Thank you my friend for sharing your intense moments and I know you are used to it by now. Be safe as always. 🙏🙏💓💓
Hi Michelle. I am from meerut, there is a bus station in meerut so that guy who helped you has saved your time because all buses from station will pass the route where you were. Also it is a bit tricky if you are in a new country and they don't have first language as you have . But I am glad you explored meerut lol😂
Michele I recommend you buy your bus and train tickets through those agencies that can be found in tourist areas. That's what I did and I always had a seat on a bus and a seat on a train in Incredible India 🇮🇳. I recommend 2AC sleeper class on a train. They're quite comfortable, with a bed and air conditioning. That Indian man was so nice. I had similar experiences in Bhubaneswar, Puri, Rishikesh which is up from Haridwar by bus and Varanasi.
@@Shubham-dh7ns bhai Italy ka h wo , maximum temperature wha ka 23-24 degree hota h, aur yha 45 degrees m ghum ra h, aasaan nhi hota foreigners ke liye itni garmi m rehna .
Thank you for visiting my city Meerut and My country India there also bus stop they are called " bus adda " where so many buses stand and ready to go I would recommend go to the " bus adda " for buses rather then catching buses on high way because everything will in hindi so you won't know in which bus you wanna go at " bus adda " there are bus conductor they can help you. Thank you ❤️❤️
I suggest you to visit rishikesh it's a nearby of haridwar ... rishikesh is very good place for rafting, bunjing jumping para gliding and more adventurous... mostly foreigners are live in rishikesh for read the skills of yoga ...
Michele I love your videos off the beaten track and its safe travels for you so far. Looking forward to an unusual train ride which should be dangerously adventurous seeing the chaotic traffic movement. Safe travels 👍🥂🙏😍
So sorry you had a tough time...Meerut has multiple bus stations.best way Would have been to catch Uttarakhand Roadways bus from meerut bus station.It would have dropped you to Haridwar station . You took a private bus which sometimes do not have a good pickup and drop location. In case you visit next time , would love you show you around quieter historic places in meerut with local delicacies .Thanks to that uncle who helped you !
Brother there's a bus stand nearby the highway but some AC buses operate near the highways so these buses don't go to the bus stands they will pick up/leave u nearby the bus stands or some nearby stops🙂 If u get problems in taking buses or knowing the stops u can ask the bus driver or the passengers or to any shops nearby the bus stops 🙂Have safe journey😊
Dear Michelle U are struggled a lot to catch the bus in this hot hot weather... U could ve easily got the bus from the bus stop...... Will suggest you to go to the bus stop by rickshaw.... In any city... Esp. In meerut we have 2 bus stop... I m from meerut i ve travelled a lot... Most of the cities.... So we hve good connectivity..... Make sure u ask rickshaw wala or auto walas to drop u at the stop.. Lots of love Love your vlogs
@@MichelePonte only 6 to 7 trains are available on this route which runs daily rest runs on alternate days. That's why they are overbooked everytime.The only solution is to book a ticket as early as possible according to your plan or you can just cancel it and book an emergency seat (tatkal) on the day you have to travel but it will cost you little more as compared to normal ticket price. Remember their is a possibility that the seat you booked in emergency can also be in waiting. Rest depends on your luck.
Thanks Harsh, but the problem is I do not have a specific plan: sometimes I stay in a city 3 nights, sometimes 1, sometimes 5. It just depends on the experience I am getting
@@MichelePonte ok great then. Just one more thing to add if you find difficulty in communicating with local people or drivers just use google translator. Thanks
Great fun adventures on the Indian highway🙂👍 Sometimes I miss this chaos and funny Indian trucks musical horns😅Maybe the private bus companies are not allowed to stop on local bus stands. Goverment state buses always stop at local bus stands which makes it easier to find the right bus.
@@MichelePonte the bus stands are in every City or town. Some buses don't go inside the City and bypass it but they pick or drop passenger on the highway itself.
@@MichelePonte No brother, actually there are 2 major bus stations and many small bus stations in meerut, you could have easily got a bus going directly to the haridwar bus station from bhaisali bus station near begum pul. The bus you booked was from a privately owned tourist company and was going from delhi to haridwar that is why you had to board the bus from highway, and also private buses are not allowed to enter bus stations and that's the reason bus dropped you on the highway. There are many Air conditioned buses run by the state governments, which will be a much easier traveling option for your journey ahead.
Intresting observation but govt buses go from bus stations and private buses pick and drop at highways ..mostly this is the scene all over india but there are few exceptions like Himalayan states where pvt and govt bus service runs from bus stations..
Pyaaz the Hindi salad, on your next trip try 54 hours on a train going south! It’s takes another 24 hours for your body to stop swaying after you arrive 😅
Thank you! This weekend I am in Kashmir at the border with Pakistan. I don’t have the computer with me cause I won’t have electricity, so it’s useless. But next week I’ll fly back to Delhi for a couple of days and I’ll be able to edit some videos
Dude Don't say that there is no bus station in meerut , there are 2 main bus stations in meerut .And there are various small bus stops too , only you have to search on the Google map
Interesting, Oh my goodness, I hope you didn’t have to go the bathroom, yes how do you know which bus is yours?? Michele your videos just make me laugh because they are so funny, they are full of humor.
Well at least you have the willpower and attitude to deal with traveling through India. In my younger days, it probably would have been fun, but now, thank you I’ll pass. Nice job Michele, showing us viewers real life on the streets and in the cities of India you’ve thus visited.
It was nice that you ran into a Good Samaritan while getting a rick shaw. Riding the bus is a real adventure as long as you don't get killed getting on or off. 🙂
@@THEDEADBLACKRAT Getting on & off the buses with cars & motorcycles going both directions by the door itself I am surprised more people aren't ran over. Maybe the government & their society doesn't value life and safety like we do.
There are things I wouldn’t do either: climbing the Everest (too many people died and their bodies were left up there),bungee jumping (cause I’ve already destroyed my body way too much and I don’t wanna risk my back or ankles)
If you ever have problems in cities , argue or shout loudly and someone will always come to your help . Haridwar..hmm .you must be going to Rishikesh 🤣🤣
I usually do short distances. So all the times I tried to get on a train I was on a waiting list. The Indian railway website doesn’t consider me a tourist cause I registered myself with an Indian phone number, so the only way for me to get a ticket would be by doing it in person
@@MichelePonte now Indian railways have started (after covid) specific trains where you dont need a reservation. Buy a ticket and just try and find a seat in lowest classes .ok for short distances ( once on the train you could always ask the conductor if you can upgrade)i read that it is even possible to buy these tickets online with Indian number but i havent tried.
Hey Michele, hope you are doing well. I guess you have left the city of Meerut already but if by any chance you visit here again, do plan on visiting many other sites. I can be yoir local guide here coz Atithi Devo Bhav😊
Meerut has a bus station tht uncle took you there , dont know for what reasons , insted of going to bikener , u just go to delhi bus stand right near to begumpull , frm there are are continous bus service to delhi and other , through express way also. dont have to wait for 1 hour and run for bus services. its tht stupid uncle fault 🙂. Btw great u came here. 💥stay safe for rest of your journy
If u had taken that white and blue bus then u would have been dropped on bus station. But as uh had booked from goibbo a private bus, it couldn't go to the bus station.
Getting a bus in india is very easy..i dont know why u didnt use google map to go local main bus stop of city where u can easy get ac non ac bus any time ..
Michael, It's our Meerut 😎 How do you think you will survive in Meerut. and for your kind information Bus Stand is here! You have to say to the Bus conductor to stop there only not on Highway 🤭
2:11 is it that man from you. Took away 350 rupees. One should not take illegitimate advantage. The man here is all right. don't know how he got it out
