Was a Little Bit Dirty

Delhi to Varanasi, Bus AC Sleeper, Gola Bus Service, Sep 24, 2026

Konan I

I thought I reserved a sleeper class, but it turned out to be a semi-sleeper. The roads were bumpy, preventing us from sleeping well, and the bus broke down about halfway through delaying our arrival significantly by 6 hours. Even without the bus breaking down, the bus frequently made stops, making the 8am arrival impossible in the first place.
