Have you ever been stranded in a situation where your only option of going to college is by college bus?

If that’s you then this blog is specifically written for you. In this blog am going over top 7 reasons why you should board an out bus rather than a college bus

1. Availability
The number one reason is the choice that you will have once you have broken up with the college bus contract.

Wondering what it means? Let me clarify it for you.

If you are waking up late in the morning and it’s 7.05 am and your bus arrives at 7.10 am. What are the choices that you would have?
a. Bunking the college
b. Going late to college
c. Boarding an out bus

Now 2nd and 3rd options are interconnected. Obviously you would choose that option. The main problem is that we would feel sad that we have already paid the fees for the college bus but still boarding an out bus.

Though it may be just a few rupees, for us it can be used for various other options.

This availability justified.

2. Comfort
If you are studying at a world-class University and your college has an AC bus or it has the comfort of an airbus then you can skip this blog.

For those of you who are traveling in a large iron box a.k.a college bus then you can continue reading this.

If you board an out bus though there are buses that still feel like your college bus most of the buses will have proper, comfortable seating and standing, etc.

Because those people aren’t earning on a monthly basis. Every single day the public has to board the bus and travel. So they kind of proper maintenance.

But college buses aren’t like that. Yes, they do wash it but if you are an engineer you know what I am talking about?

If yes please share your thoughts in the comments section…

3. Time
If your college bus is going in the speed of a Jet or an airplane then please leave this blog after leaving alike to it.

Others shall we see why time is a major factor for choosing an out bus rather than your college bus?

In my city, there is a private bus. It’s known for its timing. If he is meant to drive you to a place at 8.40 am and if he starts late even then he would drop you on time.

Though there are a few exceptions to these cases but the happening is really rare.

4. New opportunities — people
When you go to college bus you can see most of the time the seats will be already reserved.

If you are the one who is supposed to get on it at last then you can choose a seat rather forced to sit in one which is available. This comprises of same people, same place and no adventure at all.

Unless you have your girlfriend on your bus then congratulations you are the luckiest man alive.

For those like me who are still single, you guys have lots of opportunities to meet new people. Now it doesn’t mean that every time you board a bus you will meet someone to speak.

But the chances of looking and finding new people to talk to are really high even if you board the same out bus every time.

Once it happened in my life. A guy came and sat next to me and once I got the ticket he was curious to know about me after listening to my bus stop which is my college name.

Once we started talking I came to know he was a stockbroker, a trainer and has multiple streams of income.

Now please don’t ask me why he boards a bus then. Because only this year I have found out even people getting ₹70,000 per month is only going by bus.

Maybe it’s their own will I mean who knows?

5. Considerable cost
From my observation, some colleges charge around ₹20000 for a year. I don’t know on what basis they are charging this amount.

But if you know means do let me know in the comments section.

Now we all know that college will not work 365 days. There will be summer holidays, winter holidays, semester leave, government holidays, college function holidays and so on.

So the college will function barely around 215 and above a number of days. Considering that too if you do a cost comparison between this then at least for my region it’s less.

What about you?

6. No fixed schedule
Waking up in a fixed schedule is one thing but going home is also another factor to be considered.

If in case the college is over early and the college bus will start from college after 2 or 3 hours it means what will you do.

I mean if you have a girlfriend and she is so keen on listening and spending time with you for 2 to 3 hours then it’s fine but if you are like me who is still single, where would we go…

But out buses will continuously come every 10 or 15 minutes. So that we can go home and lunch or dinner whatever we like. Because that’s why we are living dude. Aren’t we?

7. Get used to any hardship
This is the most interesting part of all. If you are someone who was born with a silver spoon then it’s great you have no problem.

Because you don’t know what’s it like to go from one place to another with a lot of struggles and hardships. It’s good.

But being a middle-class family we need to suffer a lot in a lot of things from childhood to adulthood.

So if we don’t get used to struggling in going in a crowded space in the bus and in standing or even hanging in the bus ( Which is extremely bad, risky and dangerous. Please avoid it at all time) we won’t be able to come out of our comfort zone.

But let me tell you this, I am not against colleges providing their buses or anything. I am just a guy who wants a good service for the money which I pay.

The things which I said above include both my experience and my conversation with a lot of my friends who are studying in different colleges.

If you disagree with any of this I am so happy. Because no is entirely right anytime. There are always good and bad things.

So do let me know what are all those in the comment section.

If you like this give a clap and follow me to know more about these kinds of topics.

Until next time this is
