Interbus Marbella Madrid recent customer reviews

El autobús era cómodo, puntual en cuanto a horario y seguro. Respecto al baño si necesitan prestar mucha atención, no se podía echar agua, emanaba muy mal olor y cuando al piloto quise comunicárselo puesto que estaba contando el número de asientos ocupados me pidió que le diera un momento mientras terminaba pero luego pasó de largo y no prestó atención, realmente olía muy mal aparte de no tener luz interior, por lo demás todo muy bien.
