Luxury Bus Travel Bangalore to Chennai & Back !

The experience of the Super luxury business class travel from bangalore to chennai and back !!


With lot of expectations as given in the online ticket booking, I left home with galla at 7 am to board the bus. Their counter in HSR layout was kickass for a bus service.
IT was almost time to board the bus so I got out and boarded the same as soon as possible.

As i entered, the decor, the fragrance, the touch and feel all felt royal. Everything loooked so regal and well designed. I was guided into my seat. The seats were very large and comfortable. The kickass thing was the membrane panel on the right side. Each light in it glowed and really good glow.
Another kickass thing was the lcd panel above and it played live television. That was too much !! Also the panel was preloaded with some movies and the movies were also really good and not some regular bloke ones.
I made the most of that fact. Saw:
- city of ember
- seven pounds (half)
- kung fu panda

while coming
- transporter
- body of lies

Another good thing is that there is a loo in the bus. Its clean and serves the purpose.

They offered blankets and pillows for people who were plannin to take a break and rest. I could hardly do that by the way.

The whole journey was breeding in luxury. The surprise was teh welcome drink of nimbuz and water. Then a wet cloth to wipe off the dirt and start a refreshing journey. Post that I cosied myself and then was offered the breakfast which was idly and the chutney. Being early morning that tooo looked super cool. I feasted on them eagerly and then was offered some snacks. The snacks were really cool one being salted, other being chocolate and third one being muffin.

How to forget the staff: its super helpful and cooperative. You can book your tickets on phone without even paying for it immediately and most importantly, you will guranteed get tickets cos it is so expensive that people do not use it that much. OR maybe its still very new and recent and hence, not that widely used.

Another worrrying thing was that the seat doesnt recline fully. So that means that you can not sleep fully comfortable. But yes you can have a good and luxurious ride.

However good buses cannot compensate for the bad roads. So the ride did remian bumpy and full of traffic jams.

Oh, btw it costs Rs. 1800/- one way
