ALSA Bilbao San Sebastian recent customer reviews
Bus was comfy and clean. There was no organisation when bus arrived. Two buses going to San Sebastián but the ticket scanning process didn’t work and there was major confusion about which bus was which. The bus therefore left 20 minutes later than scheduled time.

Comfy , air conditioned bus. It was nearly 30 mins late but no announcements or comments on the notice board to tell us what was going on.

Helen M.
All good, but bus was coming late and there were no information about situation to the person who waited. Maybe that is normal here.
