Una falta de respeto que se haya atrasado casi 3 hs, y ni si quieran me hayan dado una recompensa al respecto, aunque sea un porcentaje del boleto que yo pagué, y que no fue cumplido, ya que por ustedes no llegue a tiempo a mi compromiso.

I loved the online booking experience. The buses were ok but the baggage returning was caotic and unprofessional.

The man at the counter was not interested and could barely bother to tell me anything other than write the new, late time on my ticket. As I was early, I bought a ticket on another bus and left
