RegioJet Prague Budapest recent customer reviews

I did not use your bus, because it was early and I did not got it, because was lost at the station. I asked what platform they use, but was told to wait when it will be showing and it was showing 15 minutes before bus to come, but I am 68 years women, first time on that crazy station with only English language and, of course it was not enough time for me to found the platform. I didn’t use your bus. Thanks God.

my concern is with the driver and assistant. Very rude and disrespectful. The driver even pushed me into the bus. Very disappointed because of that, but comfort was good.
