USA Bus Lines

Need info on bus service from Mumbai to Goa. What is the difference between sleeper and slumbrette?

I have looked up Goa tourism website and some more and found mention of buses operated by Paulo Travel. Am unable to find pictures of the inside of the bus with mention to sleeper class and slumbrettes. Please advise. Yes wondering if any one who has used the service can tell me.

1. well sleeper usually means the seats are more like pull out seats which stretches like a bed and there will be a bed on the top on top of your head and slumbrette i guess would be some kind of push back seats,,but still get it confirmed
2. "slumberette," a comfy 135-degree reclining seat sleeper means on the top of seat mini bed are facilated like train 2 tair or 3 tair By Bus -- If you want to travel to Goa but all trains and flights are full, or if you want to save on airfare, your next-best option is a bus from Mumbai, Pune, Hyderabad, Bangalore, or Mangalore. Numerous overnight buses leave from Mumbai (near Metro Cinema-Fashion St.) every day at 7pm; try to book an air-conditioned bus. Preferably, this should be a sleeper, not advisable if you are traveling alone, as you will sleep beside a stranger; in this case, buy two tickets for Rs 800 to Rs 1,000 ($11-$23). Or you can opt for a semi-sleeper or "slumberette," a comfy 135-degree reclining seat for Rs 500 to Rs 800 ($11-$18), depending on the season and quality of the bus. Some companies provide blankets and bottled water.
