Friends if you right here, don't ask anyone where is the station you want to go,just search by yourself, because of ,,,,,,,when you ask someone the motor rider guys run to you and tell they knew that they were lead you to the station that you want, and if you don't by the tickets they are so angry to you, causes of they don't get the money,...... sorry for my English so bad.

quite far from citycenter, rugged floor, frequdntly electric runout at night; boarding point of highway bus to other main cities from Mandalay.

Buses are available here to Bagan, Yangon, Laso, Tyaungyyi, Nay Pyi Taw. Most of the vip buses are available after 9:00 pm. You can also send items or money through buses to another cities. Some bus companies names are Elite, JJ, Mandalar min etc.

This is located at about 6+ km from the Railway Station. This Station is not extraordinarily clean for the standard of the city of Mandalay. The Private busses are operated from this Station for all routes in four directions. I had an experience of travelling from Mandalay to Yangon by the bus if the Company Myin Tar Zar. I booked a premium ticket for the elevated seat number 1 just behind the driver seat with the intention of having a good view for my camera. To my disappointment the glasses in front and sides are painted with their logo obstructing the camera view. In general the Private busses are in very good condition and the passenger should have the feel of travelling in a flight as long as the busses ply in the cement concrete laid Express Highway. Cons: Many busses are loaded with commercial goods for which it appears to have been earmarked. The problem with the bus I traveled did not drop us to the Yangon Aung Mingla Express Bus Stand - instead went into their own Depot for unloading the commercial goods without caring the passengers. I have to take another van to reach the Min Bus terminus. It is advisable therefore to inquire whether the Private busses will go straight to the terminus facilitating the passenger. The place cannot be described as very clean and needs to be improved. Many tourist pass through this Mandalay Bus Station there need to be indications in English too to find how they can book and locate the buses without the need for a Guide or translators. Only snacks are available at this Station.

It was a great and smooth ride from Yangon to Mandalay via the comfortable highway at night. And so, we wanted to try the bus, from Mandalay to Bagan. This Chan Mya Shwe Station is a pretty small station a bit dusty. As usual, many hawker stalls and peddlers, selling tidbits, snacks and water. A great and interesting bus station...
