Gipsyy Lisbon Madrid recent customer reviews
Couldn't find where the bus was leaving from. Found a kiosk that said it left from one platform t wasn't there. Finally found outside another bus companies office, but it was very stressful knowing the bus was leaving in less than 10minutes and not being able to see it. No details provided by booking agent

Drivers were great but I purchased premium and XL seat. My knees were jammed against the seat infront of me and if I even shifted a little I’d make contact with the person sitting next to me. Also, it says power outlet. It’s a USB, not a power outlet. If the person next to me wasn’t nice enough to lend me the USB I would have been terribly stuck.

BlaBlaCar Bus Lisbon Madrid recent customer reviews
The trip had two drivers and while the first one was completely oblivious to what people were doing in the train (whether they fastened their seatbelts or not, were lying or sitting down), the second driver had an absolutely reckless driving. I couldn’t sleep as I was afraid all the time.

when we arrived to our connection in Coimbra, they left us on the street and nobody explained anything to us, they closed the doors of the station right on our faces, we had to wait on the street along other passangers. Also the bus was supposed to arrive at 11, and it arrived like 11:30. Now, on the bus, my seat was broken and the screen in front didnt work
