Short trip
Its been 7days after new year and 13 days after Christmas celebrations.
Going on any road trips on this two days can actually make u spend hours on the way .
A journey that would take 4hours might be extended to 7 or 8hours ,
This is due to the high traffic congestion of different vehicles making their own trips on those very days.
The other part is that the bus-stations are always filled with traveler's that are either going for one buisness or vacation..
And most people usually get to travel from one state to another with the full family.
This reasons are why theres always traffic congestions on the way and alot of vehicles are just on different routes heading to different destinations too.
So this issues are part of the reasons i chose to delay traveling on those days , (christmas and new year day).
I actually had to delay my journey to fall under the weekend after new year,
And i was thinking it would save me some certain stress of delays and traffic issues because alot of people must have travelled by then.
The sad part was that i woke up very early to prepare for the journey and it turns out that as early as at 5.30a.m , i encountered traffic on my way to the bus-station.
After arriving 30mins late to the station i still got delayed there because i missed the First bus that was heading to my destination,
Still had to wait for another to arrive.
And after another 30mins the next one arrived and it turns out that we still had to wait for some people that booked to arrive .
We waited for 20mins and after some of them arrived the bus had to leave to avoid further delay .
So we left with an almost filled bus .
While on our way the said driver had to go buy some fuel for the car ,
Everyone was angry because we thought he already bought fuel before coming to pick the passengers.
And the issue was that the que at the fuel station was a bit much ,that we had to spend about 15mins just to get the fuel .
At the end we started the journey and i was really hoping and wishing i would arrive on time without facing anymore issues on the way especially the traffic part ..
I will be writing about my experience on the way .
That will be on my next post though.
