Trans Copacabana S.A. Cochabamba La Paz recent customer reviews

I hate to be a complainer, but this was the worst bus rise I’ve ever been on. Primary beacuse the roof leaked when it rained and got me and other passengers very wet. Also there was no air conditioning, no water in the toilets with which to wash my hands and the service was running about 30 minutes late.
