![]() He complained that one of the front tyres was wobbling when the speed touched 70 KMPH. When I complained, my seat was changed.The driver was checking the tyre pressure by stopping the bus at a roadside puncture shop. The seat allotted to me was filthier and smelling of vomit. In another vent a dirty rag was stuffed to stop the flow of air. The entire bus was smelly and unclean.The air vents were broken and the draft could not be controlled.When brought to the notice of the conductor, he taped an old newspaper on the vent. Most seats did n0t have seat covers and were equally filthy. The seat covers had not been washed probably for months and were caked with filth. I was allotted Seat number 20 by the conductor. I travelled from Delhi to Dehradun on by Volvo Bus number 2421 UK07PA which left Delhi ISBT at 1130. If you have booked the ticket online, then there is no need to carry printed ticket since conductors have the list of people who have booked tickets online and they let you board the bus by seeing the digital confirmation in the form of email or SMS on your phone. However, when you try to access this website, you’re presented with a security warning, which you have to ignore in the browser and proceed anyway. These buses can be booked online through. then you need not worry since there are plenty of buses for these places throughout the day. In case you’re just traveling to Nainital, Bhimtal, Almora etc. One of the major reasons why I generally avoid traveling in a Volvo during a trip to Kumaon is, the night service reaches Haldwani in the wee hours of the morning and by then, the majority of the buses heading to the interiors of Kumaon are gone. Plus you can be assured of clean toilets at places the Volvos stop. As it can be seen in this video.Īnother plus point is that these buses generally stop at good restaurants en route, which are costlier, but they don’t fleece customers like the dhabas where the ordinary road transport buses stop. In fact, traveling on the Rampur – Rudrapur stretch when the entire highway was full of potholes, was more comfortable than in most mid-sized cars. The AC, on the other hand, is much more effective than the AC Bus and ride quality, miles ahead thanks to the air suspension. And since the storage bin above the seats is barely deep enough to take anything larger than a laptop massenger bag or a purse, you will likely end up shelling out this amount. 10 per bag, in order to load your luggage into the belly of the bus. You also get a free water bottle at the start of the trip, which is nice. Though in comparison to the UTC AC buses, these are in better condition. So there is always a chance that you can end up in a bus, which isn’t clean. Having said that, even the older Volvo buses from UTC aren’t maintained extremely well. ![]() ![]()
