Me parece vergonzoso unos autobuses tan incómodos, para recorridos tan largos, los asientos rotos, incómodos total, jamás volveré a viajar en un autobús asi

Mari Angeles S.

Service was very timely but a lack of onboard toilets made the journey less comfortable

Sam C.

December 13, 2023

Everything went smoothly, the drivers were friendly, the bus was comfortable and clean. Just two suggestions to make it perfect. At some point the driver asked if the temperature was ok; that was very nice, because the Aircon was a bit too strong. It would be still better if asking more than once during the trip. Also, if feasible, it would be nice to have two breaks during the trip, instead of only one. The seats are ok but legroom could be better.
