According to customer reviews, Leon Bus Station lacks facilities for luggage storage and dining due to ongoing construction work. Customers had to walk 10 minutes to the train station for these amenities during their connection wait. Additionally, some customers complained about uncomfortable seats and being trapped when the person in front reclined their seat. The tightness of the seating was compared unfavorably with airplane travel.

The seats were uncomfortable and the person in front of me put his seat back and I was trapped in the seat! When I tried to put my seat back, the woman in back of me pushed it forward saying that it was too uncomfortable because of her size! Much more tight than any airplane!!
