A clean bus sit comfy seats and charger for phones as well as a lovely and polite driver checking our tickets. Even the bus wheels were spotlessly clean.
Ticket vsay departure... Santander Airport ... Arrival Bilbao, I waited from a.m inALSA AUTOBUS STAND in front of Santander Airport and no bus came untill 12.40 when one bus came and told me that my bus is at the bus station and it has gone . So I had to pay my way to the bus station and buy another ticket again for 2p.m to arrive 15.30p.m The question everyone is asking is that my ticket says SANTANDER - BILBAO. .. Departure .. Santander Airport. .. Arrival .. Bilbao.
The service is fairly priced and runs on time. Seats are allocated so no crazy rushing. ID is checked. Toilets at the station are free to use. There are no toilets on board and journeys are fairly long. This needs improvement.
