But before you embark on the bus journey, you need to keep certain things in mind and carry things for a hassle-free travel experience. 

Wet wipes and hand sanitizers
Do not expect buses to maintain hygiene. If you are a germ-phobe, it is very important for you to carry your own hygiene with you. You may find your seat to be dirty. Also, public conveniences may not necessarily have all the facilities. It is then wet wipes and hand sanitizers come in handy. 

Ear plugs, eye masks
Eye plugs and eye masks are the two things which you just can’t afford to miss when you are planning to travel. Ear plugs are useful when you want to watch a movie or listen to music to pass your time while you travel. When you feel like taking a nap, eye masks come in handy. 

Power bank
Smartphones sure have made our lives very easy, but as the name suggests they are very smart. With so many features to keep you occupied, your phone’s battery will drain out shortly. So, keep a fully charged power bank with you when going on a journey. 

Snacks
Road trips surely make you hungry. Therefore, keep some light snacks to munch on your way to kill your hunger pangs. 

Light pillow
When your journey is long, you are bound to fall asleep at some point or the other. It is not advisable to keep your head on the back rest or the window. Therefore, always keep a light pillow.

A book/magazine
You can’t remain hooked to your phone for the whole journey as your phone’s battery will not allow you. How long will you watch a movie? What will you do when your phone’s battery is drained out? Keep a book to read to keep yourself engaged.
