Driver Cetin Cakmak did not want to allow me on the bus, screamed at me in front of all the passengers, made me cry, and ruined my whole trip. Never ever in my life have I had a man yelling at me like that. Unbelievable and very upsetting. Shame on Pamukkale customer service.

Ideal if going direct into central bus station rather than all around the city first.

The bus is so nice, nice space between the chairs, and drinks are offered several time during the way with some biscuit and it's a very nice gesture
