The hostel guy in Bogota asked why I book night buses to save 12 bucks
Met him at the front desk while I was trying to kill 6 hours before a 1am departure to Medellin. He said, "You lose a whole day being tired. What is the day worth?"
I did the math after. The 40,000 peso bus had me crashing till noon. The 90,000 peso daytime one gets me there by 3pm and I actually see the city.
I still take night buses sometimes but now I count the lost day too. Anyone else changed how they think about cheap transport?

Oh man, that hostel guy dropped some real wisdom on you! I feel you on this so hard because I used to do the exact same thing, always picking the cheapest bus and then wondering why I felt wrecked for two days after. The part about counting the lost day is what got me, because nobody ever adds that cost in when they look at the ticket price. Good on you for actually doing the math after instead of just brushing it off.
