Viação Penha Florianópolis Rio de Janeiro recent customer reviews
The ride itself was comfortable, however it was FIVE hours delayed, we arrived in Rio 21.30 rather than 16.30….
The bus was due to arrive in rio at 2.40pm. It is now 20.20 - almost 6 hours late and google maps says we have another hour still to go before we arrive. There has been no explanation as to why the bus is more than 6 hours late - likely 7 hours late when we arrive, or what time we will actually arrive. I wanted to arrive in the daylight to a new city and before the evening rains, so its also extremely inconvenient to now be arriving late at night in the traffic and storms. I have another hour to go to get to my accommodation. I would expect compensation for this.
The tickets didn’t align with the company, the had people on our seat’s and we needed to find a place to sit in the bus without a ticket. It was offal
