Counter and drop-off
Confirm the exact boarding counter, reporting time, operator and final drop-off. A district-bound bus may not stop near your sightseeing place. Save the counter contact and allow for traffic.
Bus journey checklist
Compare counters, drop-off points and vehicle type.
What the fare includes
Ask whether the fare is per passenger and includes luggage, tolls or transfers. Compare AC/non-AC and seat type. Check whether an online receipt must be exchanged at the counter.
Plan the return
Confirm the return boarding point and date. Leave a buffer after a boat trip or a hill-road transfer. If the connection is missed, keep a practical alternate route and accommodation contact.
