Very good facilities and quite drive, but the staff reaky dont know how to communicate in English.

Eu não sou João Paulo e não comprei passagem
Nice stuff and good buses! Some improvement with arriving schedules needed.
Friendly and helpful staff, good driver and quite comfortable bus. Highly recommendable.
The bus was very comfortable and the staff lovely the one thing I would regret is the voucher that we need to get at the station, I would have preferred a digital check in or to directly print my reservation. Apart from that the trip was smooth, good wifi and we arrived at destination safely.
Comfortable bus with spacious seats and USB charging ports. The bus did arrive late than the scheduled time and we weren’t made aware
Very very happy with the staff, and how contable was the bus!
Lacked considerations to non-spanish/portuguese speaking passengers
1.5 hour late on 6 hours trip
Very comfortable trip, sometimes the Wi-Fi didn't work but I guess it was due to crossing states.
- clean bus, pretty comfortable - no WiFi that we could find - big monitor right in front but was blank entire time
Quite cramped and wifi was uo and down. Overall comfortable, but we arrived 1 hour later than the time indicated on the Busbud website
the driver drove very fast and a bit erratic! although we did arrive early so I'm not complaining! the bus was quite uncomfortable but it was only 6 hours long - but we stopped for a long break in this time too!? no food was available on board but then it was a short journey. it was freezing cold on board too
The Lady Barbara at the Kiosk in São Paulo was very helpful. Due to unforeseen Circumstances we ran late for our a departure time. Upon getting to the terminal we were stressed beyond measure. Barbara got us on the next available bus after explaining there will be additional cost for the change. With her calm nature she assisted us and made sure we need to be where we are supposed to be with no Hassles.
Nice bus and was very comfortable. The check in was smooth even though I don’t speak Portuguese. The ride was good but we arrived over an hour passed our scheduled arrival time.
Los buses no son del todo cómodos
7 hours in a bus with no wifi. 7 horas de viagem sem wifi. Foi um pesadelo. O wifi nao estava funcionando
I purchased a leito ticket for $98 then wanted to change it to a sooner bus and I was charged $23 extra to keep the leito. When I arrived to the bus, it was a semileito seat and was too late to change it now.
They cancelled my trip and never noticed me
It’s my first time traveling by bu in Brazil and it was a good experience, Autoviacao 1001 is nice and confortable even I was in Economic class ! Good A/C , clean WC , and also they offer Free wifi ! But the problem the crew doesn’t speak English because of that I didn’t get the WiFi password ! Totally it was an amazing experience
One of the best bus journeys from my 2 months travelling South America. Very comfortable spacious bus.
