The sad part is these drivers would probably get more in tips if they were just friendly and helpful to foreigners. Well done for standing your ground, it isn't about the money as I've seen some people commenting, obviously 1000 PKR isn't going to break the bank, but the more people let it slide, the more it rewards such nasty behaviour.

In a situation like Noel experienced with the Uber, I would recommend anyone to just grab a bellhop or a receptionist from the hotel or with any authority and ask for help with the Uber driver or any similar scammer. They would undoubtedly sort the guy out and send him on his way. Vast majority of people would gladly help a tourist from being scammed.

When possible, just don't put your bags in the trunk of a cab / uber. If Noel didn't have his bag in the trunk, the driver wouldn't have as much power in the scam. If he left the car to get help, the driver would probably just have stolen his bag thinking there was a good payday there since Noel doesn't look like a hobo.

I like the migration from an airline reviewer to a train, bus and airline reviewer. Its been very informative and attractive, as you use almost the same criteria than you do for airlines. That bus line was a surprise when comparing to the one you took in India and even with the Greyhound in the States. And on the Uber issue I think your defense was impecable, the truth was on your side. I like your attitude facing these travel incidents, "its not the end of the world" but Uber should put more attention.

At 6:48, the bus stopped as they received a time and speed limit form from the motorway police to control their speed while going down the hills to increase safety. Lastly, I am surprised you have not been served food on the bus.

I'd also love to see you get authentic food and maybe do a small mini section of that on your trips (as you do on your plane rides). Any plans on going to Japan? I'd love to see a review from you of JAL and ANA. JAL is supposed to be 1 of the best airlines in the world and even their economy seats are supposed to be great. They also a ton of bus/trains that you can create a lot of content on in a relatively short period of time. Keep up the good work and I'll keep watching! :D

Q-Connect takes like 5 hours to travel between Islamabad to Lahore and you can take any other bus which also has wifi on board and will do the same journey in the same time at less than 3rd the price. The stop after 1 hour at Kalar Kalhar is a time ticket given to buses so that they do not speed their way down and reach within the allocated time. That is a safety check by Motorway police. If you have a car, you can do the same journey non stop in 3:30 hours.

You were fortunate that he finally accepted the rate, Noel. This illustrates the risks of booking a taxi or even an Uber. You were lucky to arrive at your destination. Some taxi drivers engage in scams by driving to a remote area, then canceling the ride and demanding a higher price. If you refuse to pay, they may force you out of the taxi. I experienced this as a teenager in Zambia. Back then, there were no Ubers, but the driver stopped midway and abruptly increased the fare. This occurred in a dubious part of Lusaka, so I had no choice but to pay. He stated it was either pay the higher price or leave the taxi. In foreign countries, there are numerous ways to get scammed.

This was just a few years ago, but when I was in Australia, I found the transportation good. The trams in the CBD of Sydney and Melbourne ran well. I took a few trains a bit outside of that area too, and it was fine. Everything was clean and ran smooth. Also took Australia’s Greyhound(Not the same as the U.S., but name is licensed out). Took this from Sydney to a stop somewhere high up the north east coast(forgot the name atm but it was before Whitsunday’s). Making multiple stops(on/ off type of bus) was no really issue. The cost was definitely not as cheap as the above,lol and the Wi-Fi was basically non existent), but it was clean enough for carrying mostly backpackers up the coast. Not as comfortable as it could of been but not as rough as a city bus seat would be. Even the planes were good. I missed a flight by accident and they got me on the next one with no issues and no extra charge! That I found amazing. Maybe things have changed in the past few years, I’m not sure, but I’m from right outside NYC, and have been riding trains and buses all my life. Not just here, but other major cities and in my smaller area. I felt quite comfortable and safe on the Aussie transport. It came decently on time too. Just my experience 😉✌️

Well done with the driver! I have no end of trouble with Uber rides here in England. Amount of times they've cancelled journeys mid journey and tried to charge double! I got blacklisted for a while for refusal to pay. Love it, I even got threatened by one lad who I'd already noticed didn't match the photo on the medallion. Gotta love Uber, these scammers do the good lads a serious harm.

You're a brave man Noel, ha! Im from India and I would never take a bus in India over 6-8 hours, ha! Also, incredible to see that the bus was so fully featured. Thanks for the video! Was just thinking that its because of videos like this that service around the world can improve; by seeing what other places have to offer and hopefully bettering their own product! Also, what was up with the Vistara logo, ha! Always funny to see blatant design/logo "inspirations" in South Asia, ha!

There are some very good first class bus services here in Philippines now, most journeys around Luzon range from $15-20 and the service is very good. As for Uber, they could start by disciplining drivers who cancel rides when the pax is already in the vehicle. My usual tactic is to just tell the driver to stop at the nearest police station...

Hi Noel. Loved your bus ride. Noel, hope you will visit the northern areas and in particular the hunza valley. Hunza valley has one of the highest literacy rate so I hear. It would be so nice for you to show us the valley.

Noel...a smart traveller. Such a rich experienced you got in Pakistan. Good & Bad guys every where but we should be careful. You choose Bus rather than aeroplane. It is quite different to know about the experience for any new destination. Excellent effort to shared and explored by different way. Keep it up.
