Users have highlighted the professionalism and punctuality of the bus service, making it a preferred choice for long journeys. They appreciated the comfort and spaciousness that allowed for restful sleep. However, some noted minor issues such as broken cup holders and an outdated interior appearance. Additionally, clearer communication regarding stops would enhance passenger experience at unnamed terminals.

Marga Taqsa El Calafate San Carlos de Bariloche recent customer reviews

The bus was extremely comfortable with lots of space. Had a good night's sleep. Cup holders were broken though, and bus looked a bit 'tired and outdated' inside. It would be really helpful if the driver could let the passengers know what each place was that the bus stoppeed at, as many of the bus terminals did not have names. We were lucky that we were going to final destination, so not a problem for us.
