Tufesa Los Angeles Bakersfield recent customer reviews
When I arrived at the station in Los Angeles, to take the bus to Bakersfield, I was informed it had come and gone. A full hour and a half before the stated departure time. Not only that, but since I ended up on a later bus, I missed my connection, and had to pay a completely new ticket to my final destination in Fresno, even though it was on the same exact bus. I would not recommend Tufesa. The poor service, lack of communication, and general disinterest in seeing my situation left a very poor taste in my mouth.

Users have praised the great customer service provided by Amtrak representatives, who were helpful in addressing questions. However, there was an instance where a bus driver reacted strongly to a passenger using speakerphone, even though the call had already ended. This suggests that while assistance is commendable, communication could be improved in certain situations.
