Was the journey an interstate one?? Just asking because your complaints are all centered on the crowd and stress of always checking for your bag. If these are just your reasons for not taking the night travel then you think it's not that bad though. One thing I have promised myself is to never travel at night primarily because of the insecurity issues in the country. Travelling on land currently is a huge risk even in the day time so moving at night makes it even worse. Thank God you got to your destination safely.
