El tiempo de viaje es mucho mayor al indicado en la compra. Eso hace que toda la programación sea un desastre si uno viaja por trabajo. El Bus supuestamente era directo y se detuvo en muchas partes de Santiago a Chillan. Lo mismo de regreso a Santiago. Bus sucio.

A little chaotic at santiago terminal sur. Trans santin buses depart from one of the platform from 1 to 10. Departed and arrived on time making several quick stops along the way to pick passengers up. Bus attendant sold biscuits and drinks on board. No complaints
