It never arrived and there was no notice that the bus would be late until two and a half hours after it was supposed to arrive. Everyone there had to make other arrangements. Money needs to be refunded

Turimex staff lied to me stating the bus was going to be 30 minutes late and I almost missed the bus because I was sitting in the car and before the bus was loaded I walked into the station and the driver told me to hurry or I may miss my bus.

After buying a ticket for 3:20pm the bus's actual departure time was 6pm and I was denied a $37 reimbursement ! U will think at that price from San Antonio to Houston,u would get a premium service! I wish I could unstar this agency. Worst station ever !!
