Bus Tickets from Pereira to Medellin

I think the ride is good. I had a comfortable seat with many adjustable highs good for napping. The wifi onboard works and cuts during the whole trip (of course, we are crossing a lot of mountains so it’s understandable) but I could enjoy my podcasts and a couple of YouTube videos with maps following my path. I did not use the bathroom so I can’t comment on that. Overall for the price I think it’s a fair service.

One the plus side, we departed on time and the personal was very nice and comprehensive. On the negative side, we arrived at Medellín 2 hours later than expected and when we were in the mountains, I thought that the bus was driving faster than it was supposed to.

We enjoyed the Flota Occidental bus ride from Pereira to Medellin. It was a luxurious double-decked bus with a bus attendant that will take food orders. Bus seats could recline 160 degrees, comfy seats and spacious. Freshly made to order food were collected from a restaurant about 2 hours after departure. Very delicious meal & reasonably priced. Bus was on time, very clean, safe & experienced driver and a very dedicated bus attendant. We highly recommend Flota Occidental buses!

There was nothing enjoyable about this journey. We were in a large van, no wifi or bathroom like we booked. No AC and it was miserable. We were made to sit in the front seat squished next to the driver who drove like a maniac, passing cars around corners, nearly crashing several times.

Had an accident because the driver was overspeeding and overtaking other cars. One girl had to be taken to the hospita. The driver didn’t even care about her or any of the other guests! An absolute disaster

The bus was one hour and thirty minutes late leaving the departure point. It arrived two and a half hours late behind schedule.
