Volvo operators raise prices

Get ready to shell out as much as Rs 1500 for Mumbai to Bangalore in a volvo now

The season has started they say, and the prices have gone up again.
On a typical Mumbai to Bangalore Volvo route, the prices for a one way ticket are now anywhere between Rs 1150 to 1500! This variation is a lot and makes no sense. We dont know the reason for the same too!

Sharma is charging around 1200, whereas VRL is charging 1400! National for its late evening Volvo is charging 1500 bucks. An year back, prices were as low as Rs 1100 only for all the operators.

The heat (of summer) is showing its effect it seems

Delhi to Chandigarh by Volvo bus

Volvo buses are still new to North Indians. The routes where Volvo buses are currently playing are:
1. Delhi - Manali
2. Delhi - Jammu / Katra
3. Delhi - Dharamshala
4. Delhi - Jaipur
5. Delhi - Shimla
6. Delhi - Lucknow
7. Delhi - Chandigarh

I was arriving in Delhi in the evening and had to get to Chandigarh asap. The timings for the Haryana Roadways Delhi-Chandigarg Saarthi Volvo bus are given wrong on Haryana Roadways website. Luckily, i was in ISBT Kashmiri Gate by 7 and managed to get the 7:15pm Volvo. The ticket price was quite steep - Rs 410 for a 250km journey. In contrast, the 160km Pune - Mumbai trip costs Rs 250.
The bus surprisingly had just 41 seats instead of the usual 45. Neeta Volvo for example has 49 seats on the Mumbai - Pune route!
The bus left at 7:15pm sharp but it took us around an hour to hit the bypass due to evening traffic.
There were two LCD screens (movie played - Hungama) and we were given a mineral water bottle free.
With a 30min break at Karnala lake resort, we reached Chandigarh at 12:15am. Thats five hours including break and messy Delhi traffic. On the highway, i was timing the kilometer marks and the bus was covering each kilometer in around 38-39 seconds which translates into a true speed of around 95 or around 100km/h on the speedometer.

In all it was a good experience. On the way back, we took the 1:10pm Volvo from Chandigarh after a few days and i got off at the Delhi bypass at 5:45pm.

Here are 2 videos of two Haryana Roadways Saarthi Volvo buses at the Karnal stop
