Op's travel experience- ft free bus
So emaindhante, me and my mom decided to go to AP to visit few temples. Ala vesina plan lo, last dhi Kanaka Durga temple Vijayawada, remaining temples kuda within 50-70kms radius lone unnay. Ah free bus gurinchi news chusaka, we decided to start early in the morning.
Hyd nunchi start ayyi, midnight 1 ki ala reach ayipoyam vjy, inka freshup ayyi, temples ki start Ayam, ala 10 lopu we covered what we had planned and last dhi durgamma temple. Being an introvert, Ikkada nakocchina chiraku kiii edupu okate takuva.
So adhoka village, railway station kuda ledu. Only buses available annamata- avi kuda takkuve. Idemo summer paiga nenu traditional outfit(halfsaree) lo unna, ee bus kosam wait chese gap lo, unnecessary stares as if they're looking at an alien, ee madhya aunties kuda start chesaru ento, I was like are they admiring or are they criticising me ani and inko pakka ah heat, baboiii.
So akkada main unde buses pallevelugu and express, rendu free pettaaru inka crowd gurinchi telsindhe ga free ante. Pallevelugu aite it takes more time like 3hrs, express aite 1.5hrs to reach vjy and ee vjy lopu madhyalo oche villages vallu kuda, they're getting into express.(ee express konni main stops agutadi, pallevelugu covers all) .I'm not judging anyone here, purpose unnavallani nenem anatle but I can say 70% of people don't have a proper reason for travel, free kabatti they're just using it.
So eh bus ochina either crowded or mem wait chestuna bus stand lo ppl vallu ekkestunaru. My main point here is I WAS WILLING TO PAY, nenu oka ac bus varaku afford cheyagalanu but asalu ikkada options eh lev. So, express ekkudham ani try cheste vammo lopalki velli chusaka I can't sustain ani ma amma ni kuda dimpesa, digutunnapudu side ivvali kadha, ivvaruuu ee auntylu. AREY AKKA NUV SIDE IVVAKUNTE NENELA VELTA NUVELA OSTHAV PAIKI? eelopu conducter annaru emaindi ani, mom cheppindi diguthunnam andi ani, he was like marendhuku ekkaru ani (konchem rude ga)- edo eeyna bus koni free service chesthunattu.
Nak kaalindi, nen Anna free kakunda paisal tho seat konukuni podham ani inka andham anukunna but it felt pointless. We got down and i was done annamata inka na valla kadhu edoka time ki potha le ani give up ichesa.
DIKKULENIVALLAKI DEVUDE DIKKU ANI, appudu ochindi oka super luxury bus, hammaya anukuni ekkesam and whole bus lo 70% seats occupied and 67% are men. Appudu ardam aindi naku men kastalu ento.
Tarvatham peaceful ga darshanam cheskuni, prashantham ga sleeper bus ekkesi return velthunam :)
