Challenges of Using Public Vehicles and Taxis During Festival Travel

Using public vehicles during the festive season in Nepal has become a huge problem. From waiting hours to getting tickets to crowded buses. Nepalese people are always fighting to get home easily and simply. Here are the major reasons why not to choose public transport during festival season:

Overcrowd

The public buses are usually overcrowded during festival time. There is no space for your bags because people are standing everywhere. It becomes so uncomfortable and stressful to those who are travelling with lots of bags, family, children or an elderly person.

Difficult to get tickets

During the occasion of Dashain and Tihar, it's difficult to get your travel tickets. Even if you get tickets, it will cost you double than on normal days. Passengers are waiting in the lines to get the tickets before 2. 3 weeks ago.

Overcharging 

Another major problem is overpricing. Bus operators and taxi drivers seek the opportunity to double the price. Many passengers are forced to pay more even on short routes because they don’t have any other option.

Lack of comfort and security.

Public transport lacks comfort and security because it is overcrowded, has enough seats, and the poor condition of vehicles. Due to overcrowding, passengers may lose their bags and languages and experience breakages. 

No flexibility

There is zero percent of flexibility in public vehicles. It has a fixed schedule so you have to leave your house hours before departure and sometimes wait for long hours to get it. 

So what's the solution?

Hiring a vehicle would be the right choice of transportation during this festive season. Instead of waiting hours for crowded buses or paying double to use unreliable taxis, being in your rented car means that you have the freedom to enjoy your festive journey as you wish.

Reasons to Choose Vehicle Rental

Comfortable while Travelling: On the long route, all you need is comfort while travelling. When your transportation is comfortable, long hours on the road will be easy to pass. Rented vehicles are very helpful when you are travelling with family, children, and older people.

Freedom and Flexibility: To have your own vehicle means that you have full control over your travelling plans. You can choose your preferred time, leave at any time and select your desired route and can stop anywhere you want to see relatives, friends, or beautiful places without strict rules. 

Comfort and Space: Travelling in public transportation during this festive season is chaotic. When you rent your own vehicle, it gives you a comfortable, secure, and private space for you and your group. Private transport also allows you to travel easily, and offers extra space for luggage and bags.

Safety and Reliability: Most of the rented transport is well-maintained which is offered by reputable rental companies. They have skilled drivers with local expertise who are excellent in the Nepalese roads. This gives you a peace of mind when you know that you are in a safe journey in long and diverse road conditions during the festival season.

Cost effective: A group travel during this festive season with a rented vehicle can be economical when shared it with your family members or friends. When you divide your cost with a family or your friends, it cost less than using several public buses, taxis or flight tickets.
