OK Minibus

이 여행에는 호텔에서 우리를 반올림하고 여행을 위해 버스로 데려다주는 개방형 차량이 포함되었습니다. 버스는 화장실과 점심 식사를 위해 몇 번 정차했습니다. 좋은 가격, 좋은 서비스...

그는 정시에 우리를 찾아 정시에 도착했습니다. 마을을 떠나기 전에 그는 타이어를 교체하기 위해 멈췄다. 이 작업은 승객을 찾기 전에 완료되어야 합니다. 다른 정류장에서 추가되어 통로의 벤치에 앉는 승객은 모두에게 불편합니다. 짐이 많은 여행자에게는 추천하지 않습니다. 호텔에서 픽업하는 것은 추가 가치입니다. 우리는 그를 다시 고용할 것입니다.

나에게 그것은 미얀마에서 이제까지 가장 재미있는 버스 타는 것이었다. 네, 사람도 많고 짐도 많았어요. 하지만 여기서는 버스가 어떻게 처리되는지 알 수 있었습니다. 사람들은 길가에 서서 손을 흔들고 있다. 그러자 버스 운전사가 무엇을 가져가야 하는지 묻습니다. 기타, 자동차 부품, 패키지, 편지, 심지어 사람 자체까지, 무언가 또는 누군가가 항상 거기에 들어갈 수 있습니다. 버스 운전사와 부조종사는 매우 친절했습니다. 물이 있어서 계획보다 한 시간 일찍 만달레이에 있는 호텔에 바로 내려줬습니다. 이 경험에 대한 편안함을 포기하게 되어 기쁩니다.

셔틀은 조금 붐비지만 직원들은 친절합니다. 우리는 식사를 하기 위해 잠시 정차하고, 화장실에 가고, 다리를 뻗고 등등... 예정된 시간 전에 도착했습니다 :)

버스는 작으며 정차하여 현지인과 패키지를 픽업합니다. 그러나 짧은 여행(5시간)이므로 상황을 수용하고 RHP 경험의 일부로 만들어야 합니다.

우리는 정시에 안전하게 도착했습니다(바간에서 만달레이까지 차로 4시간). 직원들은 도움이 되었고, 여행은 괜찮았습니다. 운전 스타일이 조금 불편했고 에어컨도 춥지 않았습니다.

여행은 매우 좋았습니다. 밴은 버스로 가는 것과 다르지만 호텔에서 우리를 태우고 우리가 묵고 있던 호텔 문까지 내려주는 등 여러 가지 세부 사항이 있어서 정말 좋았습니다. 이러한 세부 사항을 고려해야 할 것 같습니다.

매우 기본적인 버스이지만 단 몇 시간의 주간 여행에는 적합합니다. 서비스는 훌륭했지만, 매우 도움이 되고 친절한 교환원이었으며 심지어 우리를 호텔까지 데려다주었습니다!

Mandalay 호텔에서 나를 픽업하고 Began 호텔에 내려주었습니다. 일찍 도착했는데 직원들이 너무 친절했어요..

The bus came on time and picked me up from my hotel. The drive took 5h and was quite ok. We got a bottle of water and we had two breaks on the way, one 20min for lunch. In Mandaly I was dropped off at my hotel. Very good driver and nice staff. Fully recommended - Big OK from me:-)!

nobody came 30-90 minutes before taking me to the hotel! the bus with which I also left came directly at 13:25. the place on the bus is extremely crowded.

It was quite comfortable just don’t recommend for long journeys or night journeys as we did pick up a lot of locals and they just sat in the middle row on plastic stools. We did almost 6 hours and it was alright though

The bus pick up on time in our hotel, it doesnt't space enough for the luggage. The e tickets by email is really late, even if you buy it one month before your trip. I receive the e tickets for my return Bagan to Mandalay two days before and we were a big group and the company said us " if we do 't have space on the bus we can help you for another alternative". What's that? If you buy in advance!

The bus is small

Thank you for the quick and safe journey to Mandalay :)

Main thing is for the price you get picked up from your hotel in Bagan and dropped directly to you hotel in Mandalay so no complaints there. Only problem is there is no space on the bus for luggage so all bags and cases are stuffed down the aisle meaning people have to climb over these bags when getting off and on for toilet stops.

Was given no message to say there would be a hotel pickup, so we nearly missed it. Bus was cramped and stopped continuously for people on the road.

It was accurate,non burdensome, in very good price.

Perfect

The trip from Bagan started with us being picked up from our hotel. After 5,5 hours we were dropped off at our stay in Mandalay. Despite the fact that the bus was overfilled we could accomodate our luggage in a better way than when we went the other direction. Also the fact that we were dropped off at our hotel was a big bonus. In Bagan we were ripped off by taxi crooks when arriving at the bus station since drop off at our hotel had been stopped by authorities(?!). We do not give five stars since the minibus is just a bit too small for so many passengers with luggage.

It was nice to be fetched at our hotel instead of finding our way to the bus station in Mandalay. The trip took a bit more than 5 hours. There was little room in the bus for luggage so we had to have our knees full all the time. The bus became filled up during the journey. It was not comfortable. The worst was the scam at the bus station in Bagan since there was no connection to the hotel offered. We had to pay 16000kyat for a 4,2km taxi ride and the driver was not happy when I did not offer him a tip. It is a real shame that the bus company refers its customers to such bandits !! We paid 30000 kyat for 10 hours and 60km private taxi driving in Bagan the full next day.

The trip was quick, the bus driver really made speed, so that was a good thing (I've had trips in a minivan before when the bus driver was really slow and picked up all kind of locals along the road to make some kyats for himself, but this time nothing like that). 12GoAsia however should make it more clear on the website that these are local buses for local transport. Not for travellers! There waa no room for my backpack or other suitcases, they were piled up everywhere. Leg room was really insufficient for a guy my height (1.85 m). I couldn't sit in my seat and there was no room for my legs i the aisle so I had to stand up a long time. Airco was fine. Few stops though. Not recommended but whatever, it took us to Bagan in one piece :-)

Bus left on time and arrived early but those were the only positives. Admittedly I'm a relatively tall person, but I couldn't fit in the seat, so needed my knees out to the side (as is sometimes the case). But then they put stools down the middle of the bus and had people sit in the aisle, so my knees had nowhere to go! Extremely uncomfortable 5 hours.

The only thing pleasant was the pick up from the hotel. The bus driver drove like crazy and picked up random people on the way. People were seated in the isle. No stops except for local people to get on and off the bus. It felt like a public transport bus. We arrived 2 hours before arrival time.

Leaving late time but arriving faster nearly 1H.

good travel and crossing the region was very interesting

Everything was ok. Puck Up from hotel in Bagan, drop off at hotel in Mandalay. Perfect

Overall it was a great service considering that they picked us up from our hotel and even offered to drop us to our hotel in Mandalay. They also provided water and wet wipes to passengers which deserves a thumbs up. I gave 4 stars because we left Bagan not on time but that was negligible.

Transfer desde Mandalay hasta Bagan salio perfecto. Hora de salida 10am y 15 minutos antes pasaron por mi hotel. El viaje total demoro como 4hrs y media, lo cual es bastante bueno considerando que hace varias paradas. The transfer went perfectly. The hotel pick up was at 10am and 15 minutes earlier the driver was there. In total the trip took 4 1/2 hours considering several stops. Highly recommended!

5 star for the driver and conductor. They fetch us right in front of our hotel and was really on time. The trip was not delayed and arrived earlier than we expected. I loved that the driver/conductor initiated to drop us off to a point/place near the mandalay intl airport and where we were able to hail a cheap ride.

They picked me up quite late. As mentioned in other reviews, they stop a lot of times to let passengers in. I was lucky to have a seat on the right side so I was sitting alone. It's definitely not the most comfortable ride, but you get to your destination. We had a short washroom break. We arrived early around 12pm, that was a plus. But be aware of the taxi guys at the bus station. They will rip you of like crazy since you've no options. It's better to ask your hostel/hotel to tell them where you want to be dropped of. To give an idea of a 'normal' price, from Nanda restaurant to the bus station is 6.000 kyatt.

We took OK Express because of the later departure time from Bagan to Mandalay (at 4pm instead of the 2pm bus by JJ Express). Turns out OK is a bit like a local bus and picks up / drops off people along the way, which is fine! Just took a little longer than I expected. Also it started raining and water was flowing in on the floor along the side of the bus.... however - the bus got us to our destination just fine and we were plenty happy with the direct pick up and drop off at our hotels.

Love the service and hospitality, pick up from hotel and send to hotel in Mandalay. For me the this minivan going to Mandalay from Bagan is good. They even stopped and gave water bottles to some animal caretakers!

Overall it’s a fine trip. In case it’s not clear, this is a local bus that deal seeking back packers can make use of. I’m 6’2” and had just enough leg space to make it work. What surprised me was the drive from Mandalay to Bagan takes about 2.5 hours. The actual drive took 4.5 because of frequent stops, picking people up (locals on the side of the road) and going well south out of the way. Overall it was still 1.5 hours short than expected (the listing said 6 hours). So not that bad. Download a movie on Netflix and relax. Bring some snacks. Go to the bathroom before hand since we only had two long stops (10 minutes for gas 20 minutes later on for food at an outdoor restaurant. The food I wouldn’t advise eating. Maybe it’s fine but not worth the risk to me. You only come to bagan once so I didn’t want to get sick. The air conditioning worked. I’ve heard it’s supposed to be very cold and bundle up. It wasn’t. So better advice is to have layers available and come in short and a t shirt. As far as 12goasia, the communication was quick and easy and they’re customer support emails have been very responsive for other rides I’ve taken when needed.

We were picked up on time at our hotel in New Bagan with a pick up and got on the bus in Nyaung U. There is not much space for luggage and it was squeezed under the seats. We made 2 breaks, one short toilet break, one lunch break. Not the most comfortable bus for 5 hours ride but it was ok and you get what you pay for. Got a water bottle and were dropped off at our hotel right on time.

Despite leaving almost 30 minutes late and picking up roadside passengers all along the way, the bus arrived closed to an hour early, and made an effort to drop me off at the hotel. The ride was crowded, but good value.

The bus driver did the job of delivering you to the Bagan bus terminal (yes, not to your hotel as you need to pay extra or hire private taxi for that, it was clear from the tickets). But there were no regular toilet breaks/stops , when asked, the driver was quite unwilling to stop for pessengers' pee time, except for lunch time where the driver and his staff needed to have lunch, where there were 3 toilets next to the road side restaurant. The food wasn't as bad / unclean as most described, I've eaten at these sort of places for the past 3 days and I'm still in one piece. Being seated at the back has the disadvantage of getting out as corridor is filled with passengers' luggages (there was no special compartments for luggages apparently). Also, our hotel located on the 78th street in Mandalay, the bus came at 10:40 (for a scheduled 10:00 bus time), even the hotel staff told us they're regularly late and it is "normal". We sat at the hotel lobby for to hours due to the scare on its terms & conditions that they'd leave if they do not find us there when the bus arrives. Other than the lack of toilet stops and little space in bus, I'd say the company did its job, although journey was bumpy and the driver drove hellish, but yeah, for that price, what else could I ask for. I'm still alive to be able to write this review.

I took this mode of transport from Bagan to Mandalay city. The pickup from my hotel was swift and transfer to the minibus was smooth. The journey was comfortable though there were many stops to pick up local passengers. The bus arrived in Mandalay on time and without any hiccups. The staff spoke little English but communication was no issue with simple instructions.

Late pick up, riding on the back of an open truck for half an hour with a lot of dust could be improved. At destination they dropped me off on a busy road and pointed to a hotel about 10 mins walking distance across a busy road....unexpected hassle. I was given the impression that I will be dropped off by the front of the hotel. However, the bus was clean with AC. And for value for the money is great.

We did not eat our lunch at the bus stop bec. We felt that the food is not clean & the restaurant missy and dirty, hopefully this will improve for the safety of your costumers. Also the driver and his relatives are so noisy in the bus talking with a loud voice we cannot sleep in the bus

Except for being collected to the primary starting stop by a truck suitable for livestock more than people, The minivan was very comfortable, the team friendly and efficient and the driver left punctually.

Driving Really quickly and felt a bit unsafe

Всё чётко. Забрали с хостела, привезли к хостелу. All right! Im glad

Ride was on time but the seats were a bit cramped and not as comfortable for a journey this long. Otherwise it was exactly what we paid for.

Got me from A to B, but the constant beeping really got on my nerves. The 5-hour bus ride was very uncomfortable, luggage and people were piled in the aisle, and the crew kept spitting into the road. Enough to make you queasy! Never again! A far cry from the night buses!

Minibus was packed full with people sitting on stools in the aisle. No room for luggage. The driver dropped us off at our hotel, which was great.

Bus, quite snall. Made too many stops in order to get locsls in so they csn sit on small plasic chairs in the aisle. My bag and athers bags were also put n the aisle.

:( if you have other choose you don’t go it. It stopped many areas on roadways and bad smell.

Driver was driving like crazy and would be considered illegal in other countries... also on halfway of the trip they did business with local people to probably earn some side income and people will try to sell you stuff while youre in the bus..

Will arrive before estimated time. Minivan isn’t a Transit, it’s a minibus, but everything in order!! Great people like all Myanmar.
