subject: Outstanding Trivandrum Chennai Bus Service [print this page] There is nothing like travelling by bus on Trivandrum Chennai stretch. Though Trivandrum or Thiruvananthapuram and Chennai lie in two different states altogether (with Trivandrum being in Kerala and Chennai being the capital of Tamil Nadu), there are many good buses that connect them.
The distance between Trivandrum Chennai is that of seven hundred and sixty four kilometres and it takes around eleven hours to cover this distance. But since the roads are so good, courtesy NH 7 and NH 38 that connects the two cities, you dont feel the distance at all.
Moreover, there is no dearth of good buses between these two cities. You can always book a ticket for yourself in Volvo. Otherwise, the AC Deluxe bus and even Non AC Deluxe buses are good enough to travel during good weather. Though nothing can replace the kind of services you enjoy in a Volvo, yet, the other buses are quite good as far as the price they charge for the journey.
There is another interesting sleeper bus service on Trivandrum Chennai route. These sleeper bus services are mostly available for long distance journeys only and have seating as well as berths to sleep on top. There are normally six sleeper berths in each bus. All the sleeper buses on Trivandrum Chennai stretch are overnight and thus very comfortable. They in fact offer you the feeling of travelling in train only.
Another interesting stretch is that of Mumbai to Lonavala. The entire journey is that of four to five hours alone depending upon the traffic but the reads are really good.
