Utter disappointment. The bus got delayed and there was no information on when the bus would come. I missed my flight and had to book a hotel and rebook my flight.. all because of the bus delay.

Pensé que era un trayecto directo pero se fue haciendo paradas en varios lugares lo cual genero un retraso muy largo y fue incomodo para poder dormir porque no sabia si me tenia que bajar en una estacion o en otra

The bus broke down which I understand can't be helped but the driver didn't really communicate with us about what was going on and it made me feel very anxious, especially as I was concerned I was going to miss my flight.

None of the staff spoke English. The travel was supposed to be direct but did 5 stops. The bus arrived three hours late. I tried to contact the bus company or this company but none of the links or phone numbers worked. I very nearly missed my flight. Worst service ever.
