Expresso Luxo São Paulo Santos recent customer reviews
We didn't have the option to choose our seats when we booked, and we were allocated seats near the toilet. The toilet was very smelly at the beginning of the journey, indicating that it hadn't been cleaned at all since the last journey on the previous day. Also it was very cold on the bus despite the temperature outside being a nice 22 degrees.
Users appreciated the flexibility in changing tickets and found the staff to be very helpful, with drivers praised for their careful driving. However, there were reports of delays due to bad traffic over the hills from SP to Santos, resulting in an arrival that was over an hour late into Santos.
