Flota Occidental Medellin Salento recent customer reviews
The bus failed and we ended up in another bus without room for the luggage. Some people had to stand for the rest of the journey as there weren't any seats. It felt quite unsafe. Staff wasn't especially friendly on arrival.
Marta G.
It was quick and chairs were comfy but I had several layers on and the air conditioning still on full blast meant I was freezing for the whole journey which I planned to sleep for as it was the night bus and couldn’t sleep with how cold I was

Odeur désagréable dans le bus, pas d’aération, il a fait chaud et musique à fond tout le long alors que c’est un trajet de nuit. Impossible de dormir
