Traveling From Port Harcourt To Abuja By Night Bus... Experience by Urbino: 8:22pm On Sep 21, 2015 |
This is my first time travelling by bus and I'd like to blog my experience. I'm going with Chisco motors, got to the terminal by 5pm. They didn't have online booking so I had to pay cash--4500. Departure was slated for 6pm. They made an announcement for departure by 7:30pm and conducted a prayer session. I'm agnostic so I left them to their business. After this they asked the passengers to come collect rice and water. I also wasn't interested. We left at about 7 50pm got to around garrison bus stop and the bus stopped to pick passengers along the road. I'm yet to determine how much they paid. It's 8 20pm and it's now the journey is beginning. I'll keep you guys posted perhaps every two hours because I'm definitely not sleeping. PS it's a luxurious bus, you know the 48 seater kind 1 Like |

Okay we stopped again at East West road just off rumokoro Junction and picked additional passengers. This hustler has been preaching ceaselessly since we left just hoping to get some handsome 'offering' at the end. We're getting to rumuodara. 2 hours gone and I'm still in Port Harcourt. This is shitty |

Don't conclude he is hoping to get a handsome offering. Salvation is very important. Irrespective of the situation, we should always acknowledge and give thanks to God. On Friday, a friend of mine went clubbing and after that he decided to head home (around 5.30am), lo and behold he had an accident (along oworonshoki) and lost his life. U never can tell what awaits u. So stop that bruv. Urbino: 2 Likes |

This is 11:30pm. We are at Owerri. The road has been largely fair except somewhere at Bayelsa where we had to make a detour through a village. We stopped again at Owerri Park to pick up more passengers. This is fast becoming a nightmare. Yeah I forgot to add, the seats are very dirty and smelly. I only have one jacket which I have to wear for my meeting tomorrow. I'm just lucky I removed it on time turned it inside out and kept it on my legs. Legroom is quite poor especially for a tall person. I sincerely hope we get on time. It's just begun raining |

Its 7am. We're still at Okene Kogi state. Spent over three hours static... Either picking passrngers-some of who are lying on the floor - or doing some other thing I can't figure out |

Thank God for safety. I once travelled by night from Abuja to Port Harcourt with Chisco and it was a very unpleasant/scary experience. Never hope to do it again except if its an emergency or life and death issue. Generally wont advice night travel especially along some notorious routes except if its really unavoidable. |
