Pointing out the curtain arrangements, Justin mentions that passengers can draw the curtains for personal space, which he believes adds to the sleeper bus’s uniqueness.

He adds that the bus staff provided snacks and water, making the long journey very comfortable. Laughing, he advises in the video’s conclusion, “Next time you're in India, spend $15 and enjoy a bus sleepover with friends.”
