Hi, i would like to know a fare from Mumbai to Hyderabad return by Sleeper AC volvo. Can you please advise who and where to contact for reservations.
Hi Priya,
There are no sleeper volvos on this route. The sleeper ones are Indian non a/c buses (not recommended).
You however have a choice of semi-sleeper volvo bus.
Jabbar, HKB, Kesineni are the options.
Contact Kesineni at http://www.kesinenitravels.com/contactus.html
alternatively, if u r in mumbai, these operators have their offices at Sion, Chembur, Vashi etc
hai, iwould like to know whether there is volvo busses from velacherry( thambaram route, chennai) to eranakulam (kerala). if there is busses , please give details of the timings, fares, routes and where to contact.
I have booked a ticekt from Mumbai- Goa via Konduskar Volvo. Dont know what kind of quality of travel will they offer ticket is more than 1000 bucks (incl taxes). Is it semi sleeper ?? Any one alrdy travelled on the route may help pls.
Rs 1000 is too much! Konduskar is generally known to be a good operator
Heard news that APSRTC volvo coach between Kolkaata and Vizag is discontinued ? Is this correct? Anyone else operates on Kolkatta-Vizag??
Hi,
Isnt Bangalore-Mumbai 1100 kms one of the longest routes as well.
KSRTC operates a B7R service from Kanjangud in Kerala from Mumbai .This is via Mangalore,Kasargod.So,I think if this service exists,then its one of the longest for sure
SS: Mumbai to Bangalore is 1000-1040 depending from where the bus leaves in Mumbai.
The Kerala-Mumbai KSRTC B7R is non operational
yes, APSRTC Kolkota- Vizag Volvo service is discontinued
KSRTC has added
Mysore - Pune - 980kms
Mangalore - Hyderabad - 890kms
APSRTC has added
Kakinada - Bangalore - 80kms
KSRTC Mangalore-Hyderabad details are as follows:
Service 1601MNGHYD, departs M'lore, udupi & Kundapura repectively at 16:00, 17:15 & 18:00 hrs respectively and scheduled time of reaching HYD is around 10:00 hrs.
Return Service 1705HYDMNG leaves Hyderabad around 17:00 hours, with a dinner break at Raichur around 21:00-21:30 hours reaches Udupi / Mangalore at 9:30 / 10:45 hrs.
Hi,
I would like to know if there is any fare from Kolhapur/Sangli to Cochin (or any cities in Kerla)
I think we have a winner here. Kesineni's Hyd-Ernakulam around 1100 Km.
U have to add Hyderabad-Ernakulam route too...it happens to be 1098 Kms
Hi, The longest routes in country is currently now operated by VRL Travels. They ply Multi Axle Volvos on the following routes:-
Bangalore - Ahmedabad (via Pune, Mumbai, Vadodara) which comes to 1500 km!
and
Chennai - Mumbai (via Bangalore, Pune) which comes to 1350 km!
There might not be any competition for these soon! And that more than 24 hour journey!
All those are very old figures.
Now Kesineni operates Hyderabad to Trivendrum, and Hyderabad to Nagarcoil. They cover the distance not more than 19 hours. I guess this is the competition for vrl.
VRL is the record breaker with Bangalore <-> Ahmedabad about 1600kms. Takes 28Hrs of travel time. Two of them departs from both ends everyday.
Totally agreed....vrl rocks!!!!!!!
Yet again :D VRL announces the record breaking Bangalore <-> Jodhpur (via Ahmedabad, Pali) on a b11r. 1900kms. what a news!!!
Followed by SRS introducing Bangalore <-> Jodhpur & Bangalore <-> Rajkot.
VRL, SRS -> U GUYS ROCK!!!
IT'S AGIAN VRL LONGEST BUS ROUTE IN INDIA 1934KM /1202 MIL
BANGALORE TO JODHPUR
All records broken Guys. VRL now operate the second longest bus route in Asia.
Bangalore to Jodhpur covering 1950 Kms!!! A feather in the cap for VRL with good demand seen over the past one month.
2 set of drivers change at Mumbai. A total of 37 hrs journey!!!. The charges are as of now Rs 3000.
I don't think that this wont be broken anytime soon.

Now the longest route is from Jodhpur to Bangalore which is approximately 2000 Kms.
