[tips What is open bus]
When traveling in Vietnam to reach various destinations, we usually choose to take the open bus
open bus is a connecting bus for travel. You can travel on different routes within the validity period Travel between cities. The ticket sold to you is within the validity period, and you can sit whenever you want. Usually, you can go to the station or ticket office the day before the ride to reserve a seat for the next day. You don’t have to buy a connecting ticket. There are ticket sales points of various passenger transport companies in every city. You can buy it in advance or ask your hotel to help you book it, but there will be a service fee of more than 10 yuan.
Generally speaking, the route we take is Hanoi - Hue - Da Nang - Hoi An - Nha Trang - Dalat - Mui Ne - Ho Chi Minh City. These cities will have ticket sales points of various bus companies. Buses Most of them are sleeper cars, which are quite comfortable to lie down on.
1. The old models of open buses in Vietnam used to have restrooms, but the new models do not have restrooms. They will stop at rest stops midway, which can solve the problem of going to the toilet. The sanitary conditions of the toilets at rest stops are not as good as those in China, so be mentally prepared. It is strongly recommended to eat and drink as little as possible before and during the open bus ride.
2. There are many companies operating open buses in Vietnam. Sinh Cafe is the one most Chinese people choose in Vietnam. The employees speak good English and a few can speak Chinese, but the buses are relatively old. FUTA bus (FUTA Phong Trang) is mostly used by local Vietnamese. The bus is good, very clean, and the service is very attentive. There is also Hanh Cafe, which serves more Europeans and Americans but fewer Chinese.
3. New Coffee is not only popular with Chinese people, but also many foreigners. Because New Coffee has many outlets and good publicity, and the employees can basically speak some English, the price is relatively high, and the one-day tours are also better than others. The company is more expensive! Moreover, the management is very chaotic, mistakes are always made, and there are many complaints. Most of the complaints are about branches passing the buck.
4, the open bus in Vietnam departs on time, but the arrival time is basically late, and the open bus is basically 1 hour late.
In short, travel and transportation in Vietnam are very convenient. You don’t have to worry about taking a bus between each destination.
The above is the Vietnam guide summarized by Da Fei for everyone. I hope you can have fun in Vietnam. I also hope that you will not be arrogant or impatient in the new year, and dare to cry and laugh.
