I think he paid around rs2000. This was you can travel at your own will.
But if you are serious about this Indo bus thing then I can ask around fro you and then give you some advice.
Yeah, I'd definitely like if you can ask around and see if anyone you know has used it (how long did it take, how comfortable/convenient, etc?). The Ludhiana trip was in jeopardy for awhile but now it's confirmed so I'll definitely be going there. I will be traveling with someone who can speak a bit of Hindi. He studied it in college for 2-3 years so I think he's competent in rudimentary conversation.
