Customers were surprised by the numerous stops and delays during their bus journey, which resulted in a longer travel time than expected. Some questioned if all the out-of-the-way stops were necessary.
Was surprised that it stopped so many times. We were over an hour later than projected. I wondered if they were supposed to stop at all the out of the way places.

We booked a 8am bus but we're treated rudely by the ticket office and told there was no 8am bus. We were then pushed onto a EP mini bus that went through the back streets of Cali to hawk passengers. Once on the open road the driver was crazy.
