Car break down in the middle of the trip. Late in the evening. Scary. Then again the following trip car break down at the border. Disrupting my agenda and I got sick.
Vania C.
Apart from the high prices that are sometimes charged, there is nothing I didn't like. I liked, for example, the service on the bus, the speed, and the fact that it ran on time.
Roberto N.
I enjoyed everything about my trip, but how about encouraging us to keep the bus clean,announcement maybe every 3 hours
