Travelling by Bus


After shopping, we got in to a bus for the first time after coming to Bahrain. There were two types of buses. One large bus which is similar to the tourist busses in Sri Lanka. The other one is bit small, similar to the regular intercity buses there. 

One very interesting fact was that there was no conductor in the bus. When you get in to the bus, you have to give the money to the driver. I don’t know whether they offer tickets, but we did not get any. (Jeewani told me today that they gave tickets. 6th March) Inside the bus is branded in few ways. Sandwich panes were used to brand the sides, back of the seats and the holding hangers. There is a TV at the front which shows advertisements mainly.

From Manama to Adliya it was 200 phils. Unexpectedly in a country like this, we noticed few sellers going to each bus selling small small things. Well it was interesting that Sri Lanka is not the only country which has those things.
