Socibus Seville Madrid recent customer reviews

The bus was on time and arrived early, the Seville station however did not update departure boards and I was lucky enough someone was working to direct me where to go. Not a Socibus issue but a station issue. The bus however left more than 15mins late due to trying to load a large group of people with lots of bags. And the drive still arrived 15mins early.

Bus was 1hour 30mins late leaving Seville. We pulled in to a service area but some passengers protested so the driver carried on and so on the almost 7 hour journey we had no opportunity to get off the bus or get any food or drink.
