I did not find any joy with your service, it is so poor that I can't even explain it. No time keeping, changing of time schedules unexpectedly, rude drivers, uncomfortability, no wifi, no entertainment.

The bus was supposed to depart at 19:06 ,whereas it arrived at 11:00pm …Nakhon a telling us that it was full and couldn’t take any passengers. I had to organise and pay transport from the garage back to my place in the middle of the Night ,i’m typing this review sick coz I catched flu from hours I had spent outside the garage waiting on the bus.I had missed my classes at University coz of this unreliable and selfish bus, wasted my money evens!!! I would greatly appreciate it if this bus would be taken out from operating and being booked.And make people aware of this craziness and uncaring bus of APM

The bus had a 15 minutes delay, and that was communicated with us which I really appreciated. The trip was great, our heaters were on which helped with the freezing cold.
They can improve with the giving out of luggage. They didn't check the luggage tickets, everyone was just pointing their bags. That doesn't ensure safety.
