Travel tales #04

A bus trip with an unorganised driver or transport company is so frustrating because, as a passenger, you will never feel comfortable in the bus. This is because such a company or driver doesn't have a limit to the number of passengers as long as they're passengers, the driver of the company is ready to put people inside without thinking about their comfort.

My journey last year from Calabar to Nasarawa State via bus was the most frustrating journey that I have ever had in my life. At the beginning of the journey, I wasn't comfortable, but before putting my Luggage and seating inside the bus, I was still not comfortable.

While on the bus, I developed muscle pain in my leg, as if my leg had been removed. It was too tight for me while inside the vehicle. What made the journey worse was the breakdown of the vehicle along Makurdi road. The vehicle broke down in a lonely place, and all passengers got out of the vehicle stranded.

We were stranded at the place where the bus broke down, and we waited for a mechanic to arrive. As the mechanic came he then fixed the bus. After fixing the bus, we then embarked on our journey to Nasarawa State, where I arrived at my destination late at night.

On one occasion, I spent 27 hours on a road by bus for a trip of eight hours. Well, that was one of my most frustrating long bus trip experiences.
