Asia Public transport is well developed in Asia, but buses are often crowded. An additional problem for western travelers is that in many countries signs are not in Roman letters. City buses can be confusing, so get written instructions from your hotel clerk to show the driver. Route networks of large express companies cover the nation's major highways and link up with regional operators serving smaller communities.
Buses are usually air-conditioned, with toilets and, on some routes, hostesses.

One advantage of bus touring is that drivers also act as guides, sharing their considerable knowledge of the countryside, blending illuminating descriptions of the areas you traverse with anecdotes about local characters.

Some routes between northern Europe and the Mediterranean cater mostly to low-income immigrants visiting their home countries.
