Using the app. was very easy and worked very well. The only thing i couldn’t find was the 1GB free wifi. There was no wifi on the bus. Otherwise I was pleased, the Bus was clean and the driver gave us a pleasant trip. He drove very well.

We almost Got kicked off The bus in Valladolid - because the bus drivers transfer papers said our ticket was only valid to Valladolid and not Merida as the app and documents stated. We had to pay extra to go the rest of the way, so we paid double for the Valladolid - Merida part!
