Booked bus to malaga airport, got conformation + booking number only to be declined at the bus door for not having a valid ticket. Beware I was very lucky that the bus driver held the bus for me to buy another ticket and that there was a seat available otherwise I would have missed my flight

I enjoyed that the bus was only a few minutts late, and that the driver was good. I did not enjoy the lack of security for children. I had a young mother with a baby on her lap next to me, and I adviced her to put on her safetybelt, which she unlocked after a while. In an accident, the child could have been killed. In Norway the child would have had his own safety- belt connected to his parent, and on the motorway his own safetyseat. The safety of children in cars and busses are chocking in Spain!!👎
