For Colombia, the experience was not so bad but, both the seats in my row were broken and stayed reclined, the outlets did not work and there was no WiFi. Not exactly perfect but I made to Riohacha on time.

By the time the bus was 1hr late I bought a ticket for another bus at the bus door. Much easier than booking here and more secure.
