You can see SOS posts frequently and the information boards to show ‘Next Telephone Post’ after 20 KM, Restaurent 45 KM away, etc.

The people in the bus brought my memory back to the general compartment of Indian railway. If I have no luggage, I prefer only general compartment because you can see there the real India. I will write about Indian railway later on. Here also the people are very frank and friendly. Not like the one we are finding in flights or TGVs.
