The Benefits of Traveling by Tempo Traveller Over Trains or Any Other Means of Transportation

When you want to travel to another city with a group, you have several choices for modes of transport – public bus, train or flight. However, have you ever considered a tempo traveller as an option?

A tempo traveller is a light commercial vehicle and resembles a minibus. It is available in different seating capacities. Here are a few reasons why it is better than trains or other means of transport.

1. Flexibility of Schedule

Public buses, trains, and flights operate on fixed days which might not suit the day you want to travel. You also don’t have control over departure or arrival time. However, a tempo traveller gives you the flexibility to decide which day and what time you want to travel.

2. Access to More Destinations

Flights are usually available to and from only Tier 1 and Tier 2 cities. Though trains have better connectivity than flights, they still can’t access interiors or remote destinations. 

For example, you want to visit Mahabaleshwar hill station from Mumbai. Mahabaleshwar doesn’t have a railway station – the nearest one is located at 70 km distance for which you will have to anyhow take a bus or a car. So, it makes more sense to take a 12, 16, 20 seater tempo traveller on rent in Mumbai.

3. Prices to Fit Your Budget

There is no doubt that flights and trains are more expensive than a bus or a tempo traveller, especially for group travel. You can hire a budget-friendly or luxury tempo traveller as per your requirement. The former has just basic features for comfort and safety. The luxury model is fitted with elegant and extra comfort features such as premium upholstered seats, ambient lighting, and padded armrests to make your journey more memorable.  

4. Not Much Restriction on Type of Luggage

There are strict restrictions on the type and number of luggage you can carry in a train or flight. Though a tempo traveller can also accommodate only one small to medium size bag per traveller, there is ample storage space on the roof rack and rear boot space. So, if you want to carry camping equipment, sports gear, a cooking kit, or entertainment paraphernalia, a tempo traveller may be able to accommodate. 

4. Pit Stops

A train or flight has pre-planned destinations to halt or stop. If there is an emergency, they have to follow a strict protocol to take an unplanned stop. There is no such set of rules with a tempo traveller. You can take pit stops whenever it is necessary.

5. Pickup and Drop-off at Exact Location

Unlike a train or a flight, a tempo traveller offers direct pickup and drop-off service at the location you want. You don’t have to waste time on the commute to the railway station or airport, wait for the departure time or stand in queues for your turn.
