It was very disappointing. We booked a Bus, extra 2 hours early so we can get to the Airport on time. The bus had a delay and eventually didn't arrive at all. So we waited for nothing and were forced to get an Uber to get to the Airport in Sao Paulo in time. (If he had known, that it wouldn't arrive, we could have gotten another Bus at least).

Terrible experiencia, tardan en encender el a/c durante el abordaje, y una vez lo hacen, queda en temperatura muy alta sintiendose mucha humedad dentro del bus. Ademas, la duración del viaje según la aplicación era de 6 horas aproximadamente, y tardaron 10 horas ya que van deteniéndose de manera muy frecuente en el camino. 5 paradas en esta ocasión de mi viaje de Rio de Janeiro a Ciudad de São Paolo

We had to book an Uber after completing half of the distance. The bus couldn't drive because of a broken toilet door, and ended up over 2 hours late. The bus driver was very friendly though.
