2. Since Mumbai is situated far west of India, there are few direct bus routes to Mumbai other than from a few states. Whenever you travel from North, East and North-East states, a better option would be to choose the shortest bus routes to cities in Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan or Gujarat, and from there, book a bus to Mumbai.
3. There are few or no direct bus routes to Lucknow from Southern states. For people travelling from south India, booking a bus to Mumbai or any shortest route to Maharastra or Madhya Pradesh would be more convenient. From there, you can book a bus to Lucknow.
