I can give you little inside why the driver didn't stop even after that incident. Becuase robbery happens in night in few place. Sometime robbers try to stop bus by putting blockers or other stuff so that bus drvier slow down and they can get in to rob everyone. And the incident that happened with your bus seems like the case. Because if they had actually smashed other vehicles , the other vehicle owner should have called the p0lice right away. Since they didn't bother to call the police, you can be sure this was a trap. This is probably the main reason I can think of why they didn't stop. I don't think sleeping cause the issue, there is a second incharge who sits next to the driver, if that happened, he should have caught earlier. But I do agree on the fact, that they should have checked with all to see everyone is ok .
Also keep in mind, majority in this country don't speak English. Many knows only basic words and sentence. As a result many prefer to avoid a long discussion with foreigners. With that limited knowledge of English I don't think they will ever try to explain the actual situation. This could be another reason why they haven't explained you anthing. I know its frustating but language barrier is really a big issue in this country. Take the train ride back to dhaka. Wish you best luck and looking forward for next video. Keep smiling.
Guy’s thanks to god, you guys are ok and didn’t lose your phone camera and all the other stuff 🙏 if the driver stopped on that spot you gonna be robbed and you couldn’t complete your video too🙄. Imagine you guys was seating on back and feels cold but the driver drove the bus without window and who knows the broken window glasses damage his face or body, thanks to the driver for his bravely driving his bus till to the safe destination🙏. And nots if you are foreigner do not use public transport any 3rd world countries 🙏🙏🙏 for your safety reason👍👍👍
Green Line is one of the best bus service in Bangladesh. But it was an accident, no one expected it. So don't show your low mentality by unnecessarily blaming someone. Bangladesh bus service on long routes is quite good quality. The driver drove the bus in such bad conditions for your safety. It would not have been safe to stand on the street in the middle of the night.
Do you remember when you were in China, your bus stopped at the service area for a few hours? That's because China's highways prohibit buses from driving on highways from 2am to 5am to avoid accidents caused by driver fatigue. Although you may be disturbed by snorers and unable to sleep, but I think it's better than risking your life.
@@salmanshafin7291 Are you Bangladeshi? Don't you know what robbers do when they loot a bus? And if they somehow have information about 2 foreigners traveling in this bus they will definitely kill some people . The situation on the highway is not fully under control of the police team.
@@MdMazharulIslamOvieI agree with you dude. The same thing happened with me and my family when we were travelling but thanks to the almighty Allah that we were safe.
The problem maybe if they have stopped there at the road the bus could be attacked by robbers. Robbing at the highways are a big problem here. The road and transport and health care sector here is shitty. What to do!
I think the situation could have been made better if the staff explained this, not one person spoke the full hour driving back to the bus station…. We should have also checked that the people we hit were okay
@@Alan_and_Shannon The local people probably understand the situation and that’s probably why they didn’t question the driver’s decision not to stop. Glad you made it to your destination without harm. Stay safe.
Another point to consider is that the bus did not stop at midnight in the middle of nowhere due to concerns regarding passenger safety. The road conditions are deemed insufficiently safe to warrant a bus stop during nighttime hours.
This makes sense. The environment in the video cannot even see the street lights. Stopping hastily without knowing the surrounding environment may put everyone in a more dangerous situation.
@@stevenbrown8183 first worlding people are very empathic. us 3rd wolrders on the other hand not so much. I would not call em Karens but they obviously didn't do enough research on Bangladesh and I can't blame for it as they are just tourist
They actually took the responsibility to make sure you reach to your destination. Well what happened there is , green line has the most number of luxury buses. You took the economy bus . That's why they actually needed time to arrange replacement bus from the depot. The reason anyone was not complaining is that , they actually think that accidents are the things that might happen any time randomly. Even after the accident they managed to drive it and reach the nearest station where you can have a bit of rest until the replacement arrives . Just imagine spending night in middle of nowhere at midnight . Is it safe ? or the driver taking responsibility of each passenger on board and driving the bus to reach the nearest station is safe? Everyone understands that , that's why no one was complaining about the situation. As the bus provider handled the situation responsibly.
This makes sense. They started to compare bangladesh with first-world countries unknowingly sort of. Kinda forgot that it's bangladesh, a third world country. Its not uk/scotland! No where near them or their system! 😀
Agreed! We, citizens of first world countries, sometimes forget that we are in a sense all privileged and that there are third world country out there. We cannot impose we standard of living to theirs as their countries are not as developed as ours.
they didn't took the responsibilities, they simply escaped. Otherwise there would have been police compliants about the attempt of the robbery on behalf of the passengers of that bus. That would be the least responsible thing they could have done. They simply escaped and also, as mentioned, they didn't even bothered about asking any of the passengers out about their mental or physical health. That's not responsibility. Stop feeding bullshit to the foreigners.
I'm from Bangladesh, but living in Europe for half of my life. This is one of the main reasons that stops me from visiting BD with my kids and wife. We just don't know if we will come back alive or uninjured. Bangladeshi roads are death traps. There are a few reasons for the bus or any driver not to stop. If they do, there is a risk of the bus or car getting mobbed and burnt. This is also the negative side of our culture that in a situation like this, people focus on destruction rather than the safety of the affected. This is why no bus/car driver would ever stop after any accident until they find a safe shelter no matter what. The attitude of the bus counter staff members was absolutely shameful! Glad that you both are safe and hope this does not take away any positive experience that you have in Bangladesh. Scottish and Irish are my favorite people in Europe. Thanks for visiting BD.
There is another reason for not stopping in the middle of the road at midnight. The Dhaka-Chittagong highway is an active robbery point and they often use this kind of tactics to stop the buses and then embarks on when it stops. Stay safe guys
Hello Alan & Shannon. First of all we feel so sorry for what you have faced there. It is so terrible. But as a Bangladeshi i Let you know that after accident if the bus stop there it will become worst. Because robbery risk. So our county bus will not stop like European or American does. You may lost your luges or in worst case all the bus member and passenger attacked by others and causes life risk. In our county culture did not works like yours. I can understand your concern and your mental situations but yeah in Bangladesh things works like this though it is not correct. But that driver and bus stuff did a terrible mistake and they suppose to punished but at the end they protect all the passengers. I hope you both will understand the the hole situation.❤️Love from Bangladesh.
Thank you for your kind words. If this was explained to us at the time the situation would have been less scary but as you saw not one person spoke to us
@@Alan_and_Shannon you have to understand that there's a language barrier mate. Local people can't speak English there. Also if you'd ask that what actually happened, then they might've tried to explain. That driver just saved your life. If you'd get caught by robbers, things would turn even worse because you're an foreigner. Every country has some negative sides, but don't just call a country completely unsafe because of some incidents. There's plenty of youtubers who are happy having a tour in Bangladesh. Bangladesh isn't 100% safe either, but it isn't the way you describe in the end of the video.
they didn't stop cause they were scared of highwaymen. There is news of robbers blocking the highway and looting everything. Although these robberies don't occur anymore but you never know.
Greenline is one of the best, most reputed, and safest buses in BD.. But how did it happened we don't know. But we think that the bus shouldn't stop there because of robbers .. Thanks a lot to the driver that you back without any harm..
Glad you guys are safe. They did't stop after accident because there can be thief or robber in middile of the highway. so they drive the bus and didn't stop. Be safe guys.♥
This is exactly what I would have said,best you guys don't travel to bangladesh until things improve,we're following you but not impressed with your reaction its a third world country wake up,also did not appreciate your foul language,all the best.
So the robber will rob a bus full of people at least 40 or more? That robber must be very ballsy or Bangladesh is the most unsafe country.😐 and what about police?
@@Wisewolf09 you probably have noticed that it was dark everywhere so it was unsafe to stop there. What i found strange is that no one else complained about it and ask for refund. Probably because they go through this quite often.
@Wisewolf09 the robber(s) could have guns, machetes, knives, etc. Not defending the driver overall, but like, you never know. He should have stopped a few KM down the road seeing no one following him though.
This kind of incident is very normal in Bangladesh. The bus drivers drive recklessly. Many many lives are lost in BD due to road accidents. I am very sorry u guys had to face this kind of incident. 😢
As a Bangladeshi i always try to avoid bus rides. The bus drivers in Bangladesh don't want to follow the rules at all. I hope you will also try to avoid buses in BD :")
Thanks for sharing this video. I've been here a dozen years now and a intercity bus I was travelling in witnessed a head on collision between a bus and truck right in front of me. I went out to help the wounded and bloodied up people from the bus. It was horrific and I'm still traumatized. That's the last time I used a bus in Bangladesh. The illegal overtaking kills dozens every year.. 😢
@@sentinelsocialsserenitytra9192 It would be disingenuous of them to gloss over their negative experiences. A genuine traveller will document the positive and negative experiences they had.
That’s why most of the young generation aim to go abroad because in here there is no safety of your life and no one even care. No explanation no liability for the rich people. Stay safe 😇
My aunt had an incident in Mexico where armed men at a roadblock stopped their bus to rob the passengers. The military was nearby, and the men fled before anything happened. Consider yourselves lucky.
The driver didn’t stop there because, there have been found many robbery cases. If the driver stoped there , it could have been more worse than that. The drivers is not actually a pussy he was just trying to save you alls
Alan & Shannon, really sorry, to see your coach crashed an accident. In Bangladesh, accidents happen frequently since night coach drivers are often deprived of proper sleep. They only care about money and engage into long driving repeatedly. So, its better to book Luxury bus tickets for long journey. Also, it is requested to gather public reviews about "transports" that care about safety and customer satisfaction. However, sounds good, that you didn’t face any injuries. Hope you will enjoy the rest of your journey. ❤
What happened was unacceptable. I really feel sorry that you guys went through these kinds of situations. But to be honest Green Line is one of the finest here. Next time you may try Hanif/Shohagh/Saint Matrtins if you ever try again.
So sorry you had to go through this experience. We had a very unsavoury experience with green line ourselves. They made a standard pit stop and while my wife and I were taking a washroom break, the bus straight up left without us, no call or headcount to check if everyone boarded the bus. We had to take another bus and ride for 30 minutes to catch up with our initial bus which had our luggage. They just laughed the matter off just like they did in your video. No accountability whatsoever. The sad reality is that most of us here in Bangladesh are highly desensitised to reckless bus drivers because we are so used to it which is why most of us will just shake it off. I would strongly advice you to take a flight to cox’s bazaar even though it’s much more expensive. Hope the rest of your trip is safer brother, take care!
Wow that is absolutely shocking, I'm so glad you managed to catch the bus up to collect your luggage. It's sad that the people of Bangladesh get used to this terrible service
😅hehe. Not really, in many parts of China, drivers are fucking crazy and never follow the rules when driving. Especially those who drive overnight buses and heavy trucks, many of them suffer from overworking, sleep deprivation and extreme fatigue😅
It's distressing to see that such a significant accident went unnoticed by the media. It's crucial that incidents like these receive widespread coverage in Bangladesh to raise awareness and prompt appropriate action from authorities. The safety of individuals should always be a top priority, and it's essential for the police to thoroughly investigate the accident and take necessary measures to prevent similar incidents in the future. This video should go viral to ensure that the message reaches as many people as possible.
I think they didn’t stop the bus immediately for passengers safety.actually there are so many robbery team who intentionally crash with bus, so that bus stop & they can do robbery. The driver didn’t wasted a single moment after the incident. GREEN LINE is the top famous bus in Bangladesh for their services. But the stuff should take care of all passengers. You guys have faced an accident, your bad.
My guy, there is no way you are complaining about a small crash that you were not even close to. Your overreacting and the crash wasn't that bad like literally chill. If there was anyone that was injured, someone could tell the bus driver and the staff could assist. The bus didn't stop because there are many robberies at night some are armed. I get it that you were worried but pointing at the poor bus driver wouldn't make the situation any better and be thankful that he saved you. In that situatuon, he couldn't really do anything and I don't know how the bus crashed so I'm not really blaming anyone. But you disrespecting the bus company and him is not good. If you were that keen to not travel by bus, then why did you not go by plane or train? I hope you read and reply to this, I want to hear your thoughts because you clearly don't update people after reading the comments and acknowledge what they've said. But you pointing at the bus driver like that, that was not right and that got me to writing this!
Small crash big crash is still a crash... and it is not even a small crash... Also, They could lose their lives when the bus driver decided to keep driving the bus without proper window.
I traveled with green line a lot of times and the service in my opinion is really good and yes I have been in their sleepers and luckily I have never been in a crash
iknw it sounds weird, but u guys shud be thanking the bus driver for not stopping. 🤣, he basically din give a fuck about the broken windshield and tried to saved u guys.
Hi Alan and Shannon. I am glad that you both and the other passengers are not badly hurt after such a horrible accident. That driver must had deprived of sleep after long hours of driving! Remember you both were complaining about a driver in China who stopped the the coach and snored badly? At least he managed to had some sleep and drove you guy safely to your destination in the end.
I am speaking as a citizen of Bangladesh 🇧🇩 Green Line Transport is driving buses efficiently I am speaking as a passenger not as an employee No.1 bus of Bangladesh I am sorry for the bus accident😭
If greenline is number 1 I cant imagine how the rest of the buses are in Bangladesh. Come on guys, you all deserve better. You guys are human like the rest of us too. Please demand better. We love you

Bro trust me im a bangadeshi im not even gonna argue with you BUS DRIVERS ARE THE WORSE!!! Sometimes they even drive drunk and they dont even have a liscence dont ride bus Honestly dont take any bus it dosent matter if it is green line or not every company is like this And the "COMPENSATION" money they give you it was a bribe
You have no idea about 'expensive' bus. First, the VOLVOS that run in B'desh are the lowest grades even within Volvo. And let me not get into Daimler, Volkswagen, Scania, Entegra of the world. Best bus in B'desh is like the BEST Cricket Team in B'desh ..... 30+ years old and still struggling against Zimbabwe
You should be thanked that the driver didnt stop. You could get robbed(might even get killed) in the middle of a highway at night and even if u called the police at night it would take a long time.Even though the driver side got hit he was still driving to make sure that the bus wont get robbed.
Switching providers won't help. They're more or less the same. What you experienced is par for the course-not just there but all countries with similar institutional features.
Hi boss you have to understand its not Europe or america this is Bangladesh and try to avoid bus travel because all buss drivers are very dangerous driving
Bro, green line is one of the reputed company in Bangladesh. They are also famous for ensure safe journey for the passengers. But in Dhaka-Chittagong Highway, some robbers tries to stop busses by smashing on it or stopping the speed of other vehicles by keeping a vehicle across the road and I think your bus just smashed there. If that bus stopped you could get robbed. To make sure of passenger's safety, driver did not stopped there
So sorry this had to happened to you. Let me explain some things here, please don't get offended. Why the bus driver hadn't stopped the bus? FOR YOUR SAFETY. The bus was in the the middle of nowhere & stopping there would've been a huge risk of being robbed. So, the driver kept driving for an hour to stop at a safe place. Every vehicle on the road in Bangladesh at night is at risk of being robbed. Why they didn't tell you this reason? Because of THE LANGUAGE BARRIER. Please remember this while you're in foreign countries. You will face this again and again. What about Green Line? This company is THE LEAST BAD bus company in Bangladesh. Have you noticed I haven't said good? They should've apologized to you & calm you down & even with the language barrier they should've tried to make you understand. About you two - YOU'RE TOO NAIVE FOR SOUTH ASIA. Please, hire a guide from a renowned tour company if you can. Use everything premium, for example planes, 4 or 5 star hotels, cars provided by hotels(ask for it), get the information from officers or hotel manager where you are about to go & make them accountable, if you find a trustworthy English speaking officer ask for his contact number. Really worried about you two guys. Hope rest of your trip in Bangladesh is safe.

I am a Bangladeshi atheist and that's not true. Even from a (mono)theistic viewpoint, believing in a benevolent divine entity *only* when one perceives danger would be insincere and perhaps not count to the supposedly omniscient God (hence it knows that the fear is temporary and the belief insincere). As for me, I don't need faith-based reassurance to feel safe - if it helps you, good for you.
First off really enjoying the vlogs alan and shannon. have fun and enjoy life to the fullest. Couple of things, you guys should have opted out.for the flight literally less then hours and cheap, i get it you want the experience and all but not worth it as its dangerous and 100% tourist don't know that they are robbers and smugglers on the highways that try to block the bus to stop it so they can come in with guns and knifes and take all of your beloved belongings. So the driver did what he was trained for and made the right decision to keep driving and get you guys to the transfer center. knowledge is power yet this is something you wont get on a simple google search. anyways yall be fine and enjjoy your trip. waiting on the next vlog..
Why I like watching your channel is this: no matter how crazy things got, Shannon will still have the biggest smile on her face… well eventually. It was in the middle of the night, it is even more dangerous to stop. It is actually safer to just keep going.
Hey Mate, I have been following you guys since you both landed in Dhaka. Let me admit the fact, Greenline is one of the best bus companies here in Bangladesh. Unfortunately, i really not sure why they didn't do any concussion check at the first place. I suggest you call 999 for any emergency support needed from Police. Also, I suggest to travel with Shohag Company's bus next time. Also travelling is safer during day time via bus. If you need any assistance, please don't hesitate to knock me for any insights.
Are you in Cox Barzar now？I am in Moheskhali near cox barzar. If you had time, come to karlamarchara to take a tour at a big oil reservoir station built by CPP which is state owned energy company of China You can take a ferry(120 per person ）from cox barzar to Moheskhali jetty then take a CNG(500 taka) to china camp. I have been watching ur videos and they are absolutely real and interesting. and I am from China and i suggest that you shall go visit northern part of China as a priority.
@@Alan_and_Shannon communication is the barrier for which I am guessing they failed to explain you regarding the situation occured that time. I have heard many years ago that robbers are active at night in Dhaka chittagong highway. They through stone, eggs on windshield so that drivers can stop the bus and check. I guess that bus driver knew the issue occured and didnt stopped.
Bangladeshi here, you guys pretty much sums it up about our road safety. We are sorry what you have went through. never travel again here by road specially on buses.
We feel sorry for the situation that you guys through. But thank you for showing the real picture of the transportation system. Lets hope this video gets attention of the authorities. And I am glad that you guys made it safe. Looking forward to seeing you guys explore coxs bazar
Sorry guys but this wasn’t a good way of handling this situation. Shouting insults at the driver was not cool- now you realise there’s a reason the driver didn’t stop.
Dude this is not near death experience ! You guys were safe ! I’m not saying there there wasn’t any trauma, but near death experience means you almost got killed. Something like a gun shot escape or 🔥 fire .
So sorry, this is life in thirdworld country like BD, hope you stay safe throughout your trip. The bus service you took is a good one, but unlucky with the driver /traffic.
Dear Alan you are a very decent level headed person. Props to you for standing up for the people effected by that accident. Am an Indian from Kolkata, West Bengal. I am sorry to say but such is the culture and state of the South Asian subcontinent. India isn't much different. You might not like it but chaos and indiscipline is so naturalized in us that we forget basic human duties often. Cheers brother! May your journeys be safe!
Jesus... I knew long-distance buses were the least safe way to travel anywhere in the world but this is something else! I'm just glad nothing more serious happened! Stay vigilant at all times, you two, not just on the road but watch out for pickpockets or other types of potential danger. Hope both of you come back to China intact!
Greenline is the worst bus in Bangladesh according to the service.. I stopped riding this bus years ago after 3 worst back to back experiences. Thanks God you arrived safely after the incident.
I am Bangladeshi. I know accidents in Bangladesh is not uncommon, it does not mean everyone here encounters mishaps. In my 41 years of age, I did not run into any accident but you, in your firs travel, met accident.It is a matter of fate too. Anyway, You are safe, that is the best thing. Best wishes.
I feel really sorry for both of you. I apologize on behalf of every Bangladeshi person. Last year, I had similar experience with Shyamoli bus while we were travelling from Dhaka to Chittagong.. Almost half of the passengers were injured including my father. Currently I am living in USA, so I can easily relate the transportation difference between the two countries.
So sorry you two had go through this horrible situation. Yes bus drivers in BD are known to be reckless and have little regards to safety. Hopefully everything stays positive for the rest of your trip.
Stop whining. In England, everyone would have been on the roadside, in the dark, in the cold for hours waiting for a replacement bus. People sometimes throw objects onto on coming vehicles and hope it would stop and rob passengers. The driver was brave enough to continue driving in the dark with no windscreen to get passengers out of a dark remote area to safety.
this is sheer ignorance. don’t think the windshield getting shattered would happen in the first place in most countries and you’re making it sound like a norm.
They are some whiny kids... who have nothing better to do but earn money through making TH-cam videos in poor countries like Bangladesh. Those Karens (Male and Female) both think whole world is waiting for them with red carpet! Blabbing of that girl to those bus counter guys are bloody disgusting! She thinks whole world knows her language! These kind of entitled people made me lose my last amount of faith in humanity. Just bunch of no-good whiny Karens!
As a Bangladeshi I willl say you should travel by plane its so safety than bus journey because bus journey is very dangerous for night time! Stay safe.
Actually it's sometimes trap like you were traveling at night. Sometimes robbers or hijackers throw obstacles at night on the bus that the bus stops. The driver actually did right not stopping the bus. It doesn't happen always. Actually sorry to say but it's a bad luck. Normally happens when police gives low patroling in that place.
@@reviewer8671 Mean? I'm just being straightforward. Fellas in the comment are listing different luxury places as if they are gonna go and spend millions on those luxury places.
No rules here in Bangladesh, call police or not doesn't matter. Drivers bribe police officers to withdraw cases. Sometimes people die like animals & nobody even come to help them out. By the way, frequent robberies happen in the middle of these highways that's why maybe he didn't stop or he just ran away because of police case issues.
Very sad to see her cry :(, also the reason Green Line didn't stop sideways was to protect its passengers, because the highway you were not safe at Night, bus robbery can happen and it could be worse, these highway robbers have guns and other local weapons, this is also the reason that other passengers were chill and not complaining, they are aware of it.
i hope if you come to Hong Kong or visit Japan you'll reconsider the buses, both Municipal and the Highway buses are decent, and even overnighters in Japan are decent, with several highway pit-stops along the way to stretch your legs. although you'd still want to bring ear plugs from all the snoring. These two places should give you a refresh on the bus system being a decent way to travel around. I love the buses in Tokyo's outer areas, you see so much more because they drive through a lot of local streets. Same goes for Hong Kong, maybe a little less for Macau but it's still not bad there, especially for crossing the bridges between Macau side and Taipa/Coloane(aka Cotai) side.
@@qianfong5397 that’s probably true, although they have had some experiences with the overnighter coaches in China and the experience wasn’t that great. i’m sure the local municipal buses are good in China, i don’t have enough experience to comment on them other than Hangzhou’s BRT is great, i’m just not a big fan of the ridiculously wide roads in Binjiang district. 😅
A Bus driver almost killed me and my girlfriend in Egypt. We missed hitting another coach coming the other way by millimeters. Driver had all the time in the world to slow down, but he just kept his foot in, both coaches were doing about 70mph, so we all would have died.
Overnight long-distance buses were well-known for their bad safety record and bad hygiene etc., and this particular means of public transportation has largely been replaced by high-speed trains in China.
I can give you little inside why the driver didn't stop even after that incident. Becuase robbery happens in night in few place.

Wow, that's really something horrible. If that's the case, the driver is also a victim. But the bus company just doesn't care.
He doesn't know this and he's spitting bad word from his mouth!

Green Line is one of the best bus service in Bangladesh. But it was an accident, no one expected it. So don't show your low mentality by unnecessarily blaming someone. Bangladesh bus service on long routes is quite good quality. The driver drove the bus in such bad conditions for your safety.

Do you remember when you were in China, your bus stopped at the service area for a few hours? That's because China's highways prohibit buses from driving on highways from 2am to 5am to avoid accidents caused by driver fatigue. Although you may be disturbed by snorers and unable to sleep, but I think it's better than risking your life.
True
So they should stay in china forever?🙄
Yea, they never mention again
Miss that snoring guy

Bus driver saved you. There were robber who would rob the whole bus and take everything.
This is not a logical explanation. He should call police for help.
@@salmanshafin7291 Are you Bangladeshi? Don't you know what robbers do when they loot a bus? And if they somehow have information about 2 foreigners traveling in this bus they will definitely kill some people . The situation on the highway is not fully under control of the police team.

Another point to consider is that the bus did not stop at midnight in the middle of nowhere due to concerns regarding passenger safety. The road conditions are deemed insufficiently safe to warrant a bus stop during nighttime hours.
This makes sense. The environment in the video cannot even see the street lights. Stopping hastily without knowing the surrounding environment may put everyone in a more dangerous situation.
But bald 👩🦲 🐖 Shannon got mad.
This seems to be the norm in these developing/third world countries. Alan and Shannon kind of being karens.

@@stevenbrown8183 first worlding people are very empathic. us 3rd wolrders on the other hand not so much. I would not call em Karens but they obviously didn't do enough research on Bangladesh and I can't blame for it as they are just tourist
They actually took the responsibility to make sure you reach to your destination. Well what happened there is , green line has the most number of luxury buses. You took the economy bus . That's why they actually needed time to arrange replacement bus from the depot.
The reason anyone was not complaining is that , they actually think that accidents are the things that might happen any time randomly. Even after the accident they managed to drive it and reach the nearest station where you can have a bit of rest until the replacement arrives .
Just imagine spending night in middle of nowhere at midnight . Is it safe ? or the driver taking responsibility of each passenger on board and driving the bus to reach the nearest station is safe?
Everyone understands that , that's why no one was complaining about the situation. As the bus provider handled the situation responsibly.
This makes sense. They started to compare bangladesh with first-world countries unknowingly sort of.
Kinda forgot that it's bangladesh, a third world country. Its not uk/scotland! No where near them or their system! 😀
Agreed! We, citizens of first world countries, sometimes forget that we are in a sense all privileged and that there are third world country out there. We cannot impose we standard of living to theirs as their countries are not as developed as ours.
Very well explained
they didn't took the responsibilities, they simply escaped. Otherwise there would have been police compliants about the attempt of the robbery on behalf of the passengers of that bus.
That would be the least responsible thing they could have done. They simply escaped and also, as mentioned, they didn't even bothered about asking any of the passengers out about their mental or physical health.
That's not responsibility. Stop feeding bullshit to the foreigners.
@@stevenbrown8183😂😂😂 Bangladesh is not third world country
I'm from Bangladesh, but living in Europe for half of my life. This is one of the main reasons that stops me from visiting BD with my kids and wife. We just don't know if we will come back alive or uninjured. Bangladeshi roads are death traps. There are a few reasons for the bus or any driver not to stop. If they do, there is a risk of the bus or car getting mobbed and burnt. This is also the negative side of our culture that in a situation like this, people focus on destruction rather than the safety of the affected. This is why no bus/car driver would ever stop after any accident until they find a safe shelter no matter what. The attitude of the bus counter staff members was absolutely shameful! Glad that you both are safe and hope this does not take away any positive experience that you have in Bangladesh. Scottish and Irish are my favorite people in Europe. Thanks for visiting BD.
Im from bangladesh but living in uk for entire life
Sabbih 15 your a coconut
There is another reason for not stopping in the middle of the road at midnight. The Dhaka-Chittagong highway is an active robbery point and they often use this kind of tactics to stop the buses and then embarks on when it stops. Stay safe guys

Hello Alan & Shannon. First of all we feel so sorry for what you have faced there. It is so terrible. But as a Bangladeshi i Let you know that after accident if the bus stop there it will become worst. Because robbery risk. So our county bus will not stop like European or American does. You may lost your luges or in worst case all the bus member and passenger attacked by others and causes life risk. In our county culture did not works like yours. I can understand your concern and your mental situations but yeah in Bangladesh things works like this though it is not correct. But that driver and bus stuff did a terrible mistake and they suppose to punished but at the end they protect all the passengers. I hope you both will understand the the hole situation.❤️Love from Bangladesh.
Thank you for your kind words. If this was explained to us at the time the situation would have been less scary but as you saw not one person spoke to us
right but threre was no person who could tell them like this
@@Alan_and_Shannon you have to understand that there's a language barrier mate. Local people can't speak English there. Also if you'd ask that what actually happened, then they might've tried to explain. That driver just saved your life. If you'd get caught by robbers, things would turn even worse because you're an foreigner. Every country has some negative sides, but don't just call a country completely unsafe because of some incidents. There's plenty of youtubers who are happy having a tour in Bangladesh. Bangladesh isn't 100% safe either, but it isn't the way you describe in the end of the video.
they didn't stop cause they were scared of highwaymen. There is news of robbers blocking the highway and looting everything. Although these robberies don't occur anymore but you never know.
Greenline is one of the best, most reputed, and safest buses in BD.. But how did it happened we don't know. But we think that the bus shouldn't stop there because of robbers .. Thanks a lot to the driver that you back without any harm..
Glad you guys are safe. They did't stop after accident because there can be thief or robber in middile of the highway. so they drive the bus and didn't stop. Be safe guys.♥
This is exactly what I would have said,best you guys don't travel to bangladesh until things improve,we're following you but not impressed with your reaction its a third world country wake up,also did not appreciate your foul language,all the best.
So the robber will rob a bus full of people at least 40 or more? That robber must be very ballsy or Bangladesh is the most unsafe country.😐 and what about police?
@@Wisewolf09 you probably have noticed that it was dark everywhere so it was unsafe to stop there. What i found strange is that no one else complained about it and ask for refund. Probably because they go through this quite often.
@Wisewolf09 the robber(s) could have guns, machetes, knives, etc. Not defending the driver overall, but like, you never know. He should have stopped a few KM down the road seeing no one following him though.
@@Wisewolf09The robbers are ballsy and the people here are just p6&&ies . I mean think about it, there's a reason it's a 3rd world country :')

Thanks for sharing this video. I've been here a dozen years now and a intercity bus I was travelling in witnessed a head on collision between a bus and truck right in front of me. I went out to help the wounded and bloodied up people from the bus. It was horrific and I'm still traumatized. That's the last time I used a bus in Bangladesh.

The driver didn’t stop there because, there have been found many robbery cases. If the driver stoped there , it could have been more worse than that. The drivers is not actually a pussy he was just trying to save you alls
Alan & Shannon, really sorry, to see your coach crashed an accident. In Bangladesh, accidents happen frequently since night coach drivers are often deprived of proper sleep. They only care about money and engage into long driving repeatedly.
So, its better to book Luxury bus tickets for long journey. Also, it is requested to gather public reviews about "transports" that care about safety and customer satisfaction.
However, sounds good, that you didn’t face any injuries. Hope you will enjoy the rest of your journey. ❤
It’s ashame that companies but the bus drivers in that position that they have to choose money over people’s safety
What happened was unacceptable. I really feel sorry that you guys went through these kinds of situations. But to be honest Green Line is one of the finest here. Next time you may try Hanif/Shohagh/Saint Matrtins if you ever try again.

So sorry you had to go through this experience. We had a very unsavoury experience with green line ourselves. They made a standard pit stop and while my wife and I were taking a washroom break, the bus straight up left without us, no call or headcount to check if everyone boarded the bus. We had to take another bus and ride for 30 minutes to catch up with our initial bus which had our luggage. They just laughed the matter off just like they did in your video. No accountability whatsoever. The sad reality is that most of us here in Bangladesh are highly desensitised to reckless bus drivers because we are so used to it which is why most of us will just shake it off.
I would strongly advice you to take a flight to cox’s bazaar even though it’s much more expensive. Hope the rest of your trip is safer brother, take care!
Wow that is absolutely shocking, I'm so glad you managed to catch the bus up to collect your luggage. It's sad that the people of Bangladesh get used to this terrible service

It's distressing to see that such a significant accident went unnoticed by the media. It's crucial that incidents like these receive widespread coverage in Bangladesh to raise awareness and prompt appropriate action from authorities. The safety of individuals should always be a top priority, and it's essential for the police to thoroughly investigate the accident and take necessary measures to prevent similar incidents in the future. This video should go viral to ensure that the message reaches as many people as possible.
Stay safe and never give up your safety to experience something new. I wish you all the best!
Great advice!
I think they didn’t stop the bus immediately for passengers safety.actually there are so many robbery team who intentionally crash with bus, so that bus stop & they can do robbery. The driver didn’t wasted a single moment after the incident. GREEN LINE is the top famous bus in Bangladesh for their services. But the stuff should take care of all passengers. You guys have faced an accident, your bad.
My guy, there is no way you are complaining about a small crash that you were not even close to. Your overreacting and the crash wasn't that bad like literally chill. If there was anyone that was injured, someone could tell the bus driver and the staff could assist. The bus didn't stop because there are many robberies at night some are armed. I get it that you were worried but pointing at the poor bus driver wouldn't make the situation any better and be thankful that he saved you. In that situatuon, he couldn't really do anything and I don't know how the bus crashed so I'm not really blaming anyone. But you disrespecting the bus company and him is not good. If you were that keen to not travel by bus, then why did you not go by plane or train? I hope you read and reply to this, I want to hear your thoughts because you clearly don't update people after reading the comments and acknowledge what they've said. But you pointing at the bus driver like that, that was not right and that got me to writing this!
Small crash big crash is still a crash... and it is not even a small crash...
Also, They could lose their lives when the bus driver decided to keep driving the bus without proper window.
As a bangladeshi, I'm very surprised because I've always known Greenline is the safest and luxury bus in bangladesh
Bro the bus gonna be robbed if the bus driver didn't speed up the bus
Guys, you should thank to the driver for saving your life from robbery
I traveled with green line a lot of times and the service in my opinion is really good and yes I have been in their sleepers and luckily I have never been in a crash
This is how life works in these countries…… Thank God you people are safe.
You don't have a clue get your face right

Hi Alan and Shannon. I am glad that you both and the other passengers are not badly hurt after such a horrible accident. That driver must had deprived of sleep after long hours of driving!

You should be thanked that the driver didnt stop. You could get robbed(might even get killed) in the middle of a highway at night and even if u called the police at night it would take a long time.Even though the driver side got hit he was still driving to make sure that the bus wont get robbed.

Honestly, riding a bus in Bangladesh would be way safer than taking the New York subway any day of the week.
@hermesliteratus882 the blax ruined the public transportation in New York and Los Angeles
Bro, green line is one of the reputed company in Bangladesh. They are also famous for ensure safe journey for the passengers. But in Dhaka-Chittagong Highway, some robbers tries to stop busses by smashing on it or stopping the speed of other vehicles by keeping a vehicle across the road and I think your bus just smashed there. If that bus stopped you could get robbed. To make sure of passenger's safety, driver did not stopped there
So sorry this had to happened to you. Let me explain some things here, please don't get offended.
Why the bus driver hadn't stopped the bus?
FOR YOUR SAFETY. The bus was in the the middle of nowhere & stopping there would've been a huge risk of being robbed. So, the driver kept driving for an hour to stop at a safe place. Every vehicle on the road in Bangladesh at night is at risk of being robbed.
Why they didn't tell you this reason?
Because of THE LANGUAGE BARRIER. Please remember this while you're in foreign countries. You will face this again and again.
What about Green Line?
This company is THE LEAST BAD bus company in Bangladesh. Have you noticed I haven't said good? They should've apologized to you & calm you down & even with the language barrier they should've tried to make you understand.
About you two - YOU'RE TOO NAIVE FOR SOUTH ASIA. Please, hire a guide from a renowned tour company if you can. Use everything premium, for example planes, 4 or 5 star hotels, cars provided by hotels(ask for it), get the information from officers or hotel manager where you are about to go & make them accountable, if you find a trustworthy English speaking officer ask for his contact number.

I am a Bangladeshi atheist and that's not true. Even from a (mono)theistic viewpoint, believing in a benevolent divine entity *only* when one perceives danger would be insincere and perhaps not count to the supposedly omniscient God (hence it knows that the fear is temporary and the belief insincere). As for me, I don't need faith-based reassurance to feel safe - if it helps you, good for you.
First off really enjoying the vlogs alan and shannon. have fun and enjoy life to the fullest. Couple of things,
you guys should have opted out.for the flight literally less then hours and cheap, i get it you want the experience and all but not worth it as its dangerous and 100% tourist don't know that they are robbers and smugglers on the highways that try to block the bus to stop it so they can come in with guns and knifes and take all of your beloved belongings. So the driver did what he was trained for and made the right decision to keep driving and get you guys to the transfer center. knowledge is power yet this is something you wont get on a simple google search. anyways yall be fine and enjjoy your trip. waiting on the next vlog..
You were almost got robbed if the bus had stopped at that moment.
yeah
Why I like watching your channel is this: no matter how crazy things got, Shannon will still have the biggest smile on her face… well eventually.

So sorry you two had go through this horrible situation. Yes bus drivers in BD are known to be reckless and have little regards to safety. Hopefully everything stays positive for the rest of your trip.
Stop whining.
In England, everyone would have been on the roadside, in the dark, in the cold for hours waiting for a replacement bus.
People sometimes throw objects onto on coming vehicles and hope it would stop and rob passengers. The driver was brave enough to continue driving in the dark with no windscreen to get passengers out of a dark remote area to safety.

No rules here in Bangladesh, call police or not doesn't matter. Drivers bribe police officers to withdraw cases. Sometimes people die like animals & nobody even come to help them out.
By the way, frequent robberies happen in the middle of these highways that's why maybe he didn't stop or he just ran away because of police case issues.
Very sad to see her cry :(, also the reason Green Line didn't stop sideways was to protect its passengers, because the highway you were not safe at Night, bus robbery can happen and it could be worse, these highway robbers have guns and other local weapons, this is also the reason that other passengers were chill and not complaining, they are aware of it.
i hope if you come to Hong Kong or visit Japan you'll reconsider the buses, both Municipal and the Highway buses are decent, and even overnighters in Japan are decent, with several highway pit-stops along the way to stretch your legs. although you'd still want to bring ear plugs from all the snoring. These two places should give you a refresh on the bus system being a decent way to travel around. I love the buses in Tokyo's outer areas, you see so much more because they drive through a lot of local streets. Same goes for Hong Kong, maybe a little less for Macau but it's still not bad there, especially for crossing the bridges between Macau side and Taipa/Coloane(aka Cotai) side.
Everything in Japan is pure luxury and pricey
bus in China are all decent you dont have to only list Hong Kong
@@qianfong5397 that’s probably true, although they have had some experiences with the overnighter coaches in China and the experience wasn’t that great. i’m sure the local municipal buses are good in China, i don’t have enough experience to comment on them other than Hangzhou’s BRT is great, i’m just not a big fan of the ridiculously wide roads in Binjiang district. 😅
wait green line seriously...lol
Yeah I was also surprised I've thought Ena or something else at first
A Bus driver almost killed me and my girlfriend in Egypt. We missed hitting another coach coming the other way by millimeters. Driver had all the time in the world to slow down, but he just kept his foot in, both coaches were doing about 70mph, so we all would have died.
bro its the safest bus service in banglaeesh.
Overnight long-distance buses were well-known for their bad safety record and bad hygiene etc., and this particular means of public transportation has largely been replaced by high-speed trains in China.
