Customers have expressed dissatisfaction with the service provided by the bus company. Specifically, there were significant delays during a trip from Bogota to Salento, resulting in a journey that took 13 hours instead of the expected 7 hours. The lack of communication and apologies regarding this delay was also mentioned by customers. Additionally, while the bus seats were comfortable, many passengers found that the air conditioner was set at an excessively cold temperature throughout their journey.
Our driver was insane. We did the trip in 2 hours less that we were supposed to so we had to sit and wait for 2 extra hours at the terminal. Also noone actually slept because he was driving so fast around corners and overtaking large trucks that everyone was being shaken around the cabin

Comfortable seats however the driver stopped many many many times for personal stops and my estimated arrival was extended by 5 hours from the stops on what was supposed to be an express bus to periera from bogota

There was a driver and another guy who was responsible for the lugagge and the passengers. This other guy was acting very weird, telling people we could not stop for them to go to the toilet or letting random people on the bus and taking money from them directly. At some point (we had been waiting in traffic jam for over an hour) he offered us to drive with some "friends" of him to our destination. We declined and after that he seemed quite upset. Overall it wasn't a very good experience.
