Bus was on time, clean, and comfortable. I believe there was a "no cell phone" sign, but unfortunately that wasn't enforced. Other than that- great trip!

Efficient, on time, smooth. There was some dispute about the seat - window or aisle - for non Spanish speakers or those not familiar with the v/p perhaps the seating could be made more explicit on the ticket e.g. I window.

January 20, 2024

I didn't enjoy anything about the journey as I was not able to take the journey. The bus was very difficult to find at the airport and even when I arrived at the bus stops, next to the car hire parking, there was no signage telling which bus was which. I've never experienced such a poorly-designed "bus station".
