The OZBUS is the longest bus ride in the world and the ultimate journey for
backpackers. In twelve weeks it travels 16,000 kilometers through twenty
different countries.
‘Most people fly from London to Sydney at 40,000 feet and never see
anything,’ says Mark Creasey from Ozbus. ‘On the Ozbus people can see
the most beautiful places in the world. We go across Europe through
Turkey, India, China, Malaysia and Australia. We travel through deserts,
mountains and jungles – it’s amazing.’
Jeff Lane travelled on the Ozbus last summer. ‘The best thing was the Taj
Mahal,’ he said. ‘The most exciting place was the tiger reserve in the
Himalayas, and I really enjoyed visiting the base camp of Mount Everest’.
And what were the worst things? ‘Well, in Tehran the bus broke down and
we waited for a whole day for a new one. That wasn’t so good. And I didn’t
always enjoy camping at night. Sometimes I wanted to stay somewhere
more comfortable!’
The Ozbus takes up to forty people of all ages. At night the passengers
usually stay in camps or sometimes in small hotels. Everyone takes turns to
buy food in local markets and cook for the group.
