Canadian Vlogger’s Sleeper-Bus Video Goes Viral After 12-Hour Overnight Ride in India

The clip highlights sleeper-berth comforts at roughly $15, challenging old assumptions about Indian bus travel.

Overview

  • A Canadian creator named Justin posted an Instagram reel of a 12-hour Indian sleeper-bus journey showing individual berths, blankets, privacy curtains, snacks and bottled water.
  • He says European buses "have nothing on Indian sleeper buses," describing the experience as comfortable and convenient for overnight travel.
  • News18 and Hindustan Times report the ride took place in Kolkata, though the broader coverage rests on this single firsthand account.
  • The video drew millions of views and largely positive comments, with many users noting he chose a higher-quality operator rather than the cheapest option.
  • Justin encourages travelers to try the service for about $15, framing it as good value that lets riders sleep and arrive at their destination rested.
