It was awful!! We stopped at a service station on the way to get a drink. When we came out the bus had left with all stuff on board. We were not the only ones either. The driver did no checks on who was aboard his bus. We had to organise separate travel to Lisbon in the end and all the while trying to contact the companies customer service team. They have been no help. We are meant to be flying home but have no passports or anything!!

The bus was 45 minutes late, the gps was off so it was bot possible to track it, nobody knew where it was. The driver was not friendly, and whe were going to Lisbon, not knowing there was two stops there, so we got off at the first stop thinking it was our destination, and realized while trying to call a cab that we were way too far from our destination, so ran back to the bus to ask where we were, and the driver was very annoyed that we asked to get back on the bus and continue the route. It would have been very helpful that the driver announce the locations since there are no other way to know where we are, and most importantly, to turn on the gps to help everybody track the location of the bus when the delay is so important.

The bus was on time and the driver was courteous and helpful.
Our only concern was where to go at the airport.
Several people thought the pick-up area was only for local buses so maybe some signage designating it as a pick-up area for all buses.
