Wonderful Bus Ride

Der Bus war super ausgestattet und man hatte viel Beinfreiheit. Wir würden aber keine Reise mit Copetran empfehlen. Die angegebene Fahrzeit war 4h. Angekommen sind wir nach ca. 6h. Der Bus fuhr schon mal 30 Minuten zu spät ab und hat noch an vielen Orten angehalten um Personen aus-oder zusteigen zu lassen. Es war somit komplett unmöglich innerhalb dieser 4h anzukommen. Wir finden es nicht in Ordnung, das Fahrzeiten angegeben werden, die so oder so nicht eingehalten werden können. Wir verstehen, dass der Verkehr eine Rolle spielt aber diese 4h sind unmöglich einzuhalten, wenn man überall noch anhält und Personen einsammelt.

We arrived 8 hours late. There was no explanation or apology, no traffic, no breakdown. The driver constantly stopped the bus and got off to drink coffee.
