Hey guys !
I'm traveling to Dhaka today on a business class bus
and in this vlog i just wanted to share my experiences of using luxurious buses here in Bangladesh
such as the LONDON EXPRESS and GREEN LINE bus services
But before that, let's take a quick look at the LOCAL BUSES here !
Srimangal , Moulibazar
Ei Srimangal , Ei Moulvibazar !!
whats the point of filming and watching us ?
We are just workers anyway !
so guys this is what a local bus looks like in bangladesh
and this is actually a non-AC it has a fan . A fan there
and these are the seats and they're NOT reclinable seats
but it's really cheap
probably cost you about 100 TAKA from HABIGANJ to SYLHET
that's like One POUND or something like that or one DOLLAR
just slightly above or more than one dollar
but today my video is going to be
about the LUXURY buses of Bangladesh
or BUSINESS CLASS buses. let's go and find out !
what you're seeing here is the Habiganj bus station.
However there are no business class buses running from here.
So i had to travel to SHAYESTAGANJ
which is a small town based in the HABIGANJ District
it only takes around half an hour on an auto rickshaw so it's not that far away
and this place is right in front of the bus counter office
just make sure you're very careful when approaching the roads
as trucks and buses here usually travel at very high speeds
causing a lot of accidents that we all know about so just be careful
luxury bus behind me called london express
yes it's called London express for LONDONI'S like me !
so it's operated from a company in SYLHET
and and they have these special buses that go straight to dhaka from Sylhet
this is the bus and you can see that the seats are really nice
and not many passengers
very comfortable seats indeed.
And as you can see this has plenty of leg room !
which is quite difficult to find these days in any form of transport
this bus actually has a lot of features
as you can see from their web page.
tickets can be purchased directly from their website, which i did
Has an experienced driver
excellent Wi-Fi coverage
and also a very useful usb charging port to charge all your mobile phones
but i wonder what the medicated seat is all about ??
i really don't know !
medicated seats !! sounds good
but yeah overall it was a fantastic smooth ride
not bumpy and the driver was very safe and careful
so here i am in dhaka after a good four hours of journey
i stayed in dhaka for three days
where i got to film the most adventurous Puran Dhaka
also known as the old city of dhaka
this was actually my first time in old Dhaka and i managed to make a few vlogs here
showcasing the BURIGANGA river
and the most iconic PINK PALACE
also called AHSAN MANZIL
so do check out my vlogs here
i'll leave the links in the description below
after visiting dhaka i decided to go back home on a different bus this one's called
the GREEN LINE Bus
it's also a luxury business class bus here in bangladesh so let's find out what it's like inside
this is the driver's seat
okay these are single seats there
double seats
and aircon
this is fully air conditioned by the way
and this is my seat over there i'm sitting here
got a really nice view good thing about this this is slightly high up as well
three and a half hours into the journey i've not had any problems it's been really smooth it's it's
a comfortable bus and i'm sat right at the back here and it's not been bumpy or anything like that
and the aircon is really really good it's really really cold here so they provide
you with these blankets
when it gets too cold but you can also um close the air vents here
i'm going to close mine
so i've got the best um seat here to be honest
people don't like the backseat but this is a privacy for me
no one's right at the back and i've got this really
wonderful view behind me
so one thing i like about this bus is they provide you a really good service
and they take your telephone number when you book the tickets and um they make sure they ring all
their passengers so they can get on board the bus and they don't miss the bus as well sometimes if
they're five ten minutes late they will wait for their passengers and also they will notify
their passengers if the bus has been delayed for some reason which is really good and for
something like that in bangladesh
the conductors and the supervisors are very professional and and
also and one of the perks you get a free bottle of water it's really good isn't it very handy
the green line bus is not as fancy as the london express but it's still very good
very comfortable and i had a really nice smooth ride back home to Habiganj
we also get a free buffet as well on the way halfway down the line
so this is this seat is H1
in the back row i think this is the best seat to be honest because it's higher than the rest
so green line paribahan, this ticket cost me only eleven hundred taka that's um ten pounds or
so and two from Sylhet to Dhaka
But i'm not going to Sylhet, i'm going to go to Habiganj so i need to
get off at Shayestaganj. so we're going to head towards the Narayanganj and then we'll be going to
straight down to Ashuganj and then um Sylhet highway road so i'm really happy this is
a comfortable bus if you ever come to dhaka and forget the whatever LITE-ACE or whatever you want
to call it don't don't come on a car don't hire rent or rent a car it cost you about 70 quid 7000 Taka
we arrived at BrahmanBaria this is one of the stops there and we're gonna get um some drinks
and then one of the perks of this bus is that you get a free buffet included
as part of the fees of 1100 Taka and we'll be going to the restaurant behind us LAL SHALUK
so i'm going to go upstairs to get some free buffets and which is part of the deal
i was actually very impressed with the great selection of food
they do all kinds of food here such as parathas biryani vegetable bhajjis
chicken curry fish curries and a lot more and they pretty much have everything here
just got some coffee from there i'm not that hungry to be honest but um i would have had
that food doesn't look bad i'm gonna go back now you only get a 25 minute break
and then it will take another one and a half hour to get to Habiganj from here
