Le bus est un moyen de transport pratique, que vous ayez besoin de vous rendre dans la ville voisine à deux heures de route, ou de vous aventurer plus loin en traversant tout le pays. Quel que soit votre budget, le bus peut être la solution. Les bus express offrent les tarifs de billets les plus abordable pour les voyageurs qui ont un budget limité. Les options VIP s'adressent à ceux qui ne veulent aucun compromis sur le confort. Avant de sauter dans un bus, vérifiez bien le type de service qui vous convient le mieux. Pour un voyage longue-distance, tournez-vous vers un autocar VIP ou première classe, qui offre un service continu jusqu'à votre destination, ou qui ne dessert qu'un petit nombre d’arrêts en cours de route. Le plus souvent, les bus express ou locaux peuvent s'avérer un choix judicieux pour des trajets courts, mais pour les trajets plus longs ce n’est probablement pas le bon choix. Étudiez les horaires avant de partir, car de nombreuses destinations longue-distance sont desservies par des bus de nuit, et certains proposent des sièges plus larges ou des couchettes pour ces trajets. Réservez votre billet de bus en ligne auprès de Sri Lanka Bus Service. Les avis des autres voyageurs vous aideront à choisir le meilleur billet et la meilleure classe de bus.

Classes de Bus et Prix des Billets Sri Lanka Bus Service
L'un des aspects les plus intéressants des voyages en bus est que vous pouvez presque planifier un voyage sur mesure, en l'adaptant à vos besoins en termes d'intimité et de confort. Les différentes classes et types de bus répondent aux besoins variés de tous types de voyageurs. Les voyages les moins chers sont normalement proposés par des bus de classe standard. On les appelle bus locaux, express ou ordinaires. Ils constituent un bon choix pour les trajets courts. Les autocars couchettes ou VIP sont parfaits pour les voyages plus longs et les voyages de nuit. Ils offrent des couchettes ou des sièges larges, confortables et inclinables, parfois avec l’option siège massant, des couvertures, des boissons non alcoolisées et des snacks, voir des repas plus substantiels à bord ou lors d’une pause sur une aire de repos. Voyager en bus de nuit vous permet d'économiser le prix d’une chambre d'hôtel, mais pour être sûr de voyager confortablement, choisissez judicieusement la classe de votre bus. Les prix dépendent toujours de la distance parcourue et du type d'autocar. Pour certains voyages, même les plus courts, cela vaut la peine d'investir un peu plus d'argent pour une place dans un bus VIP, car cela peut parfois diviser par deux la durée du trajet par rapport à un bus ordinaire.
Voyage en Bus : Avantages et Inconvénients
Avantages des Voyages en Bus
Le bus est le meilleur choix pour se rendre vers des destinations qui ne sont pas desservies par le rail ou l'avion. Le réseau de bus couvre souvent la quasi-totalité du pays, et les itinéraires sont bien établis depuis longtemps.
Contrairement à l'avion et parfois au train, prendre le bus ne nécessite pas d'arriver à la gare routière longtemps à l'avance. L'enregistrement, même sur les lignes internationales, ne prend que peu de temps. Le nombre de bagages inclus dans le prix de base est généralement très favorable aux voyageurs, et les frais pour les bagages supplémentaires, s’il y a une limite, ne sont généralement pas très élevés.
Les billets de bus sont souvent plus abordables que les billets d'avion ou de train rapide. Il y a un large choix de classe de billet, et des options pour toutes les bourses. Les options standard, les moins chères, sont souvent un peu lentes et n’offre pas un confort maximal, mais elles sont quand même acceptables et vous amènent à destination. Sur les trajets plus longs, les toilettes ou les arrêts sur les aires de repos ainsi que les snacks, les rafraichissements et parfois les articles de toilette et les couvertures sont presque toujours inclus dans le tarif.
Si votre budget vous le permet, certains autocars VIP offrent des sièges comparables à ceux de la classe affaires d'un avion, avec des sièges larges, inclinables et moelleux, des couvertures, moins de passagers et bien d'autres avantages pour faire de votre voyage un moment particulièrement agréable.
Inconvénients des Voyages en Bus
Les terminaux d'autobus interurbains les plus récents sont très souvent situés en dehors de la ville, à proximité des grandes autoroutes, afin de permettre aux autobus d'éviter les embouteillages urbains. Malheureusement, cela peut aussi créer des difficultés pour les voyageurs. Se rendre à ce type de terminal peut être un problème, car pour certaines destinations, il existe des restrictions sur les véhicules autorisés à entrer dans le terminal, et vous devrez utiliser les transporteurs autorisés pour vous y rendre. Cela entraîne des coûts supplémentaires, car les tarifs peuvent être gonflés. Prévoyez également du temps supplémentaire si vous partez aux heures de pointe, surtout si vous n'êtes pas familier avec la situation du trafic routier à votre point de départ.
Le bus est probablement le moyen de transport qui connaît le plus de retards si on le compare au train ou à l’avion. Les bus dépendent fortement du trafic routier qui peut parfois être imprévisible - accidents, travaux, déviations, etc. C'est particulièrement vrai pour les trajets effectués pendant les week-ends, la saison haute ou les jours fériés. Gardez cela à l'esprit et ne prévoyez pas de correspondances trop serrées.
Les voyages sur certains itinéraires ou pendant les périodes les plus chargées peuvent nécessiter une réservation préalable. Gardez à l'esprit qu'il n'est pas toujours possible de se présenter à la gare routière et de monter dans le prochain bus - il se peut que tous les billets soient vendus, alors organisez votre voyage en conséquence.

Les personnes sont super gentille ! Le bus est très confortable, juste une chose vous ne devez pas être surpris par la localisation où on vous dira de prendre le bus car le texis qui m’y a emmené ne me croyait pas et disait que ce ne t’ai pas possible de prendre le bus la et qu’il fallait aller à la station de bus générale or non c’était le bon endroit.

Great bus, good experience. Driving is wild as everywhere in Sri Lanka. The information where the bus starts could be more precise. We got a GPS location - no gate or something like that. The god location was at gate 1. The bus stopped at gate 17. We only figured that out because we spotted him before he arrived at the bus station.

Too many emails and steps just to buy a one way bus ticket. Process seemed convulated. Why not just send the bus ticket by email and trust tourists to find the bus. You could give that option to tourists who need it.

All went very well indeed. Just was a little unsure what the process was going to be on arrival at the bus station. Then your contact met with us and it became clearer that his role was to guide us to the correct bus and pay. The bus did not go to Mirissa as requested so we had to offload before Matara and get ourselves another bus for the final 20 mins of the journey. As mentioned, all went very well though.

Good driver. Save and smooth driving style.
Good temperature on the bus, not too cold.
Fantastic handling by the staff and driver when I took the wrong bag upon arrival.
Top costumer service !
On the trip from Makumbura to Kandy the driver was going way too fast, honking the whole time, overtaking in critical spots.
This driver, from Kandy to Makumbura , was driving in a much saver way.

The driver managed to arrive exactly 4 hours after departure. However this time frame is way too tight!
You should allow 30 minutes more for this trip.
The driver had to speed up and keep on overtaking other cars in a very scary way.

I booked on 12go a bus ride from Colombo to Jaffna, at nighttime. I booked this one specifically because it said I would arrive in Jaffna at 7am.
We arrived in Jaffna at 4am, I was alone and had to walk a long time in the dark, which was what I wanted to prevent.
Also, in the bus I had to keep my backpack with me. My seat was stuck in upright position whereas the person in front of me was lying so I had no space for my legs.

You’re given a representative to meet and then a different person arrives. Turns out they’re trying to purchase a ticket for the lowest price possible despite you having already paid. Once sat down, it became obvious there weren’t enough seats so the driver’s assistant sat on the step- this developed into encroaching into our space and leaning against us and into us.
