Excellent trip and timing. The driver of earlier bus leaving PDC was unhelpful when I asked if I could take earlier bus. Ticket said I could change if over hour from ticket time
Perhaps the back row should only have 3 seats. With all four seats occupied, I couldn't move and my neighbour kept tapping her leg to some beat. Which meant my leg knew the beat well by the end of the trip.
The drivers didn’t let us know what bus was going where. I missed the bus because I didn’t know what bus it was and it left 10 mins early. Rude drivers no help at all.
Someone messed up my ticket, I booked for Aug 4 @ 6:37, they said there was no bus for 6:37, the next bus was for 6:52, so i waited. When the bus came they said my ticket wasnt valid, so they checked their local system, my ticket on their system said Aug 8 @ 6:52pm instead of Aug 4 @ 6:37pm. They wouldn’t let me get on the bus, but I wouldnt take no for an answer so they eventually let me in. I don’t know who messed up my ticket, but I am very disappointed as the whole bus trip going to Playa Del Carmen took longer than expected and the whole bus was delayed because of the ticket situation I had to deal with several staff, they were all helpful and accommodating, it’s just that they were not sure how to let me on the bus since the tickets were all messed up.
Timely bus service, some busses new and comfortable, some are not. Some routes have tickets available to purchase online, some do not. Seems It’s getting better or maybe just a mixed bag. But the transportation itself has been reliable.
The bus didn’t exist. I arrived at the station early and waited for a long time then the staff told me that bus at that time and day does not exist and the lady gave me a new ticket for a different bus.
