Renzo B.
Bus arrived super late, and we didn't even get our assigned seats. We were forced into awful, uncomfortable seats. Also, no charging connections for any devices, and AC was awful.

Very relaxing trip despite short notice of arranging it owing to rail strike. Our driver did a fabulous job and was extremely helpful. Adequate breaks during our trip and will recommend Blablabus to family and friends without any hesitation.
