Our first overnight bus in INDIA (We made a MISTAKE) Goa to Mumbai, INDIA

- Our first overnight bus in INDIA. After the experience our first overnight train in India, it was time to try out a different style of transport, the overnight bus. We booked our tickets to take us from Goa to Mumbai. If we are being honest, booking the bus did not really turn out how we expected. Needles to say, we'll be using overnight trains in India from now on.
Which do you prefer? Overnight Trains or Overnight bus? lets know in the comments.

Hey guys, thanks so much for watching ❤ let’s know in the comments your thoughts on the overnight bus experience in India 🇮🇳 if you liked the video please leave a 👍 to support our channel and please subscribe to our channel as we have loads of more videos coming from our India adventures ✌️ Samantha & Caolan x
Hii guys wellcome..
🤝
You should have booked volvo
Why u booked this cheap buses .. U have to book ac sleeper buses for overnight travel.
Guys, as someone who has travelled all over South and central india.... I gotta say, you guys need to prioritise sleep a bit less, and also eat less before and while traveling, keep your stomachs empty, and just survive on chai till you're at your destination.
You should have opt for SLEEPER AC Coach Bus. Even I don't travel through these 2 seater buses especially on long routes 😂😂
🤣😂🤣😂🤣ya
Even one foreigner friend of mine went in normal passenger long distance train in India (and didn't even ask any of us prior). Spent 2 days in the train.
I scolded her, this is INDIA, here you literally have 100s upon 100s of options and varying comfort levels for everything from 10 rupees to 10 million rupees... travel, food, accommodation
If I remember correctly you can’t get sleep bus as the roads are very windy as you pass over the western ghats. You are at risk from falling from you bed.
Feeling sorry for you guys😐 Ask us if you want to try anything like that through polls we will tell you the best option for you guys. Be safe 😊
Coach from Goa to Bombay…you’re mental😅 Even the sleeper bus is like a Big Dipper. It’s a really great train route as well. Ah well, you live and learn.
No one in India chooses seat for sleeping 😜 you should take always sleeper option for sleeping. No problem otherwise good video nice🙏
Yay! Excited for this one. Mumbai’s our favorite. Can’t wait to be there in a few weeks.
Yes, I can understand. It's very tough to ride in a Non Sleeper Class Bus specially on a mountainous road. Yes if the ride is in the day time then it's pleasant one because of beautiful views of Western Ghat (Mountain Range). But in night people can't see anything. Normally most of the bus services are in night time.
Like someone mentioned, you could ask us for opinions through polls. We would love to help you get the best mode of transport. If you're still planning on taking a bus for shorter trips forward, you can book AC sleeper buses, there are many variants some are called multi-axle and some just go by AC sleeper or volvo, no matter the actual make of the bus. With sleeper buses you actually get quite the amount of headspace as well as legroom to just lean back and at least get to stretch. I am a tall guy so I have major problems with travelling by bus but I find that sleeper buses are much better than seaters in that regard. Especially, for the neck and back. You also get privacy in ac sleepers, they have little cubicle type areas/beds, and they have curtains on the aisle sides. Gives you good peace of mind as well.
Also since you're the adventuristic travelers :P you have to try local trains in Mumbai. Most often the rush of commuters getting into the train and getting off is insane, sometimes it's very calm but it's definitely an experience. That's something that truly shows the hustle and bustle of Mumbai.
There are various kinds of long-distance buses in India ....... it's better to book from the Redbus app depending upon the rating of different bus companies by different travelers....you can also pay online with your card
I love India it’s such a crazy diverse country full of crazy and most people are friendly but obviously not everyone just like any country on earth..just keep your wits about you and you should have such an amazing time
Good Job 👍 Keep the Spirit Going . God Bless.
Good on you guys for giving it a go. I did the same journey but the other way, 20 years ago. NEVER AGAIN. I think I even went to that same toilet! haha. btw the big railway stations (e.g. Mumbai, Dehli etc) have a Foreign Tourist Office, there is a quota for foreign passports (I think it still exists), this can sometimes be handy when you want to book last minute. Always worth a shot.
You guys should have taken the full sleeper bus to Mumbai they are the best and very comfortable
Nice to see you guys visiting Goa.
Trains have a 24 hours booking system too where the seats are reserved for last minute bookings. You can try there.
Also there is a foreigner quota on the trains so you have a far better chance of getting a ticket than a local. Just make sure you ask for foreigner quota seats.
Welcome to Mumbai 🔥
Love it lads. Good to try the overnight bus's. I haven't seen a toilet like that in a while. Looking forward to the next video
Out of all the toilet cubicles, he happened to check the one which was lit, and which incidentally, had a toilet pan design.
Indians prefer commodes for toilet seating these days. The one he saw was for some folks who would still prefer to do the old fashioned way 😁
If he had checked other toilet cubicles as well, he would have definitely come across a commode seated one.
This clarification is to erase the negative impression about India, if any when it comes to matter of hygiene.
Haha, I've never heard any good stories of overnight buses. I've done the day bus from Gokarna to Hosapete near (Hampi), it was long, bumpy, dusty but brilliant, a great way to see the country in between the distinations.
Loving the videos of India 👌
Love your expressions, especially 03:20 am (2nd-break), all EXCITEMENT GONE OUT OF THE WINDOW in-between those mountainous ridge-roads....🤣....that's part of TRAVEL....enjoy nevertheless!!!
Nice vlogs from India
Love to watch your video ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I hate overnight bus journeys too 😒 once I go from kolkata to puri 800km almost so bad no sleep ,tired nothing
Thanks for your video
Fair play to yous for giving the bus a go.
Love this I was just in India 4 weeks last month
Welcome to Mumbai and it is so good to see you videos of India vlogs in Mumbai you can try and visit Elephanta caves a fairy boat is going from the Gate way of India. But you have to go early morning like 10 in the morning for sure you will love the tour of Elephanta caves.
Please do visit you will enjoy there.
Great video again guys but felt for yous on the trip. But look you got there in the end...onto the next one...don't fancy them toilets I tell ya...😭
Great Video Guys!
Even I tend to avoid overnight bus mainly because: (i) Bedbugs, rare but can be found in low cost buses. Go for the slightly more expensive multi-axel buses, more cleaner and spacious. But with the bad roads, again journey can be tiresome. (ii) Roads (iii) Stops - they have prior arrangements with the hotel people, they sometimes tend to stop in the most crappiest of places, especially when it comes to the washroom. Pun intended!. Multi-axel slightly more expensive buses have better stops. Always take 2AC or 1AC train for overnight journey. I don't usually go for the 3AC more congested, had a bad experience, got bit by hundreds or what it felt like a 100 bedbugs. I personally prefer driving my car. And, I usually start my journey early morning to avoid as much traffic as possible. Only downside to this is it's more expensive.
PS: Another thing to watch out - Never take taxi recommended by the conductor, this happens especially when you get down from the bus after a long journey. The rate is always much higher than the standard rate. The conductor will take the commission from the taxi guy -> The taxi guy will take you to the hotel he has tie-up with, he takes commission from there, these hotels are almost always crap! (from my personal experience). I recommend UBER for the standard rate.
Hy dear friend my from India in the Assam State dristic Udalguri 👍
welcome to goa brother and sister .
Was it the same bus driver for the whole journey? Another great video. The two of you looked banjaxed after the epic bus journey!

Last i travelled in seater bus was in 2012. You must always travel in sleeper bus, try "intercity bus" they have washroom inside bus.
Thanks Samantha & Caolan ☺
Have you tried Dublin Bus?! No wait... Lol!
On a serious note my heart goes out to you as I've travelled on similar buses for an extended time in Bangladesh in the past & it's nigh impossible to sleep on them, so I fully appreciate your journey!
By the way I'm back from Bangladesh & the current temperature in Kilkenny is -2°C, so where would you choose to be this time of year?! 😉😁
Have a truly beautiful week my friends 🤗
@GoTime Travels you should have opt AC sleeper bus that would have been much better option... Take Care and Happy Journey.... Welcome to India 🇮🇳 🙏
Didn’t tell us how that galaxy tasted 😂 bet you got a surprise like my taste buds did. It’s like dog chocolate haha love your channel, just returned from Goa I’ll be back in December but doing kerrala first like you did
You live and learn but still a good vlog , I have made a mental note planning my trip not to do this route so thanks for the advice
Fair play!
I went in the opposite direction 37 years ago. The seats were hard, the driver(s) suicidal and the endless bollypop music made me want to tear my own head off and throw it through the glass free window.
So nice couple you are
God bless you
Good job 👌👍

New Subscriber sir From India
If you really are searching for a rest room in a bus you should use InterCity Bus which are managed by Indian Railways it has wifi on the go to
Come to Andaman one of the best beaches and clean place
Off to India multi destinations in March with the wife, 100% guarantee no bus rides for us after watching you journey, thanks for all your hard work and effort, creating good content, keep it up guys 👍🇬🇧
There are thousands of SLEEPER AC Coach Buses in all the cities of India. Even the locals would hesitate to travel in these 2 seater buses and i dont know why they opted that instead of the Sleeper busses which are cheaper and better then even the Sleeper class Trains..
Private buses are good but only for journeys that are less than 4-5 hours long.
Also, check the road condition on the route through review comments.
There are different classes of buses, there are luxurious AC sleepers where you won't even know until you reach your destination. Just ask any locals about the comfort level.
Good video
Apologies for the inconvenience caused to you. Never choose such buses for long distance travel. Better train is also choose Vande Bharat
Buses are good for small distances like under 300 kms train are OP in India 😇
When you travel the world, expect various things. The bus ride is very comfortable on that route unless the bus took another one. However, enjoy what you experience. Leave the comfort back at home with your sterlings and experience how other places function. 😛
You both are so sweet 💕
Please visit Kolkata....It's Eastern part of India...One of the biggest & heritage cities of India...also cultural capital of India...
Take vande Bharat train or Tejas rajdhani for your next journey, if you are spending your time in India 😀
❤️
When ever u ride a bus for long journey always take the front seat of the bus( eg.5 to 10)if u have a option. There u will not feel the bump on ur ride.
Never take the last one ( after the last tyre of the bus) where the jump feels more then the front one. Except For a Volvo bus because there engine is back of the bus
Hey guys. Love your content. My partner and I are going to India in April 2024. We were wondering if you booked everything or winged it.
Hi 👋 great to hear your visiting India. Essentially we winged it. We booked accommodation on the go and transport ie. Overnight trains / buses. Some people book a tour for the whole trip which is fine, for us we prefer to keep it casual so we just did it ourselves. Indian people are very helpful with getting from a to b and it’s not nearly as daunting as people make out. Hope that helps 👍
ya you should have used sleeper ac bus
Even Indians avoid travelling seater coach for long distances as it is nightmay
During bus travel.. You should go in sleeper bus
Best option is Tejas express ac 🚆 with flight amenities
The last YTer took a sleeper bus but he was way in the back, where you feel every bump. He said it was grueling. If you take a sleeper bus next time, try not to be way in the back.
Hey it's your mistake... you should have brought a sleeper bus...and you chose a wrong and low rated bus which i obviously avoid. u should have chosen prassanna purple or other travel bus or multi axle ashray bus .Do research before travelling.
We are welcoming you to kerala
you are great couple 😘
Trains any day... 1A OR 2A ....for bus - short day journeys are much better ...
Hey guys have a nice journey,
Have time you come in my home.
My state Punjab, india
Hi Can you tell me the name of the song thats played at 8.56
Biggest mistake ..i had taken the train from Mumbai to Goa..it was awsum ..besutiful scenery..i am frm South Africa
Before u book check various bus agency are there in india cheaper and luxurious also available with good services
Plz do ask anyone you know here or any of your subscribers before planning something in india...they will or we will help u guys
That's why, I never use Bus for long journey, 🤣 I always uses train 😜
in i dia thier are so less toilets but its situated in such places where it is not maintained well
Wel come to sikkim
Getting correct info is KEY..u were not prepared
ALSO TRY THE MAHARAJA EXPRESS TRAIN IN INDIA 🇮🇳
Come to pune and nagpur
I think you should choose sleeper bus that is better.
YOU COULD HAVE OPTED TO TRAVEL ON THE CRUISE SHIP FROM GOA 🇮🇳 TO MUMBAI 🇮🇳IN INDIA 🇮🇳 MUCH FUN TO GO ON THAT AND NOT TOO EXPENSIVE
GUYS I HAVE LAUGH SO HARD WHEN I SEE U'R REACTION IN THE BUS 😂😂😂
Hi like your videos❤️❤️❤️❤️👌..Im from kerala
😍
That is so cheap for a hotel room. The cheapest hotel room in the US would be $65 on up! But with the taxes and service charges they add to the bill, it ends up being $75 to $80 for very, very basic low end hotel/motel accommodations without breakfast or anything.
🤘👍👍👍
you both are Nice i like where are you now i am in mumbai
6 days gap was a big gap sir.
You should make more videos, like a video in a day.
Audience need more. Make a video daily and upload that, like your daily routine. I am sure you will get better result on subscribers.
😍😍
That's my home town mapusa
For all the foreigners don't opt for seaters always go for AC sleeper buses .
If I was in Goa I would be given you a free tour in Goa currently I am working on ship
When you will come to Thrissur
why Irish are so lovely like their Golden Whisky
👍❤👍
There are many options to travel by bus in India. You should have taken the opinion of your viewers once to travel with the best of the best buses.
