What baggage can I take on Badela?
Check the baggage allowance on the specific ticket before buying. Ask about the number of bags, total weight, oversized items and excess charges. A brand name or coach class is not enough to establish a confirmed allowance.

Children may need additional documentation or consent. Verify with official immigration sources and the operator before buying; a bus ticket does not grant entry.
