We already booked our seats online in "up roadways" bus which was a big mistake. When we reached ISBT "kashmiri gate" and went to UPSRTC window they said to go to platform no 12 and when we ask for the bus number they said there is no bus yet and we went to the platform after waiting for half an hour when we again ask him for the bus he gave one number which we try at least 15 times and finally the person we met was drunk.and has no clue about the bus then we met some more fellow passenger they were also trying to find their bus so now we were like 10 people and none of know what to do. Then the drunked worker of UPSRTC stopped one bus and i cant believe what he did, he actually kicked off every passenger from that bus. so this how we got the bus and our journey started.
