Customers appreciate the nice drivers and comfortable seats on board. However, there are concerns about delays due to unnecessary stops at restaurants, making the journey longer than expected. Some passengers also faced issues with Wi-Fi connectivity during their trip.

Catarinense Foz do Iguaçu Rio de Janeiro recent customer reviews

The main complaint is that we arrived in Rio de Janeiro 2 hours later than scheduled. The driver drove in the city along the lane for city express buses to beat the traffic jam, but 200 meters before the bus station the police stopped him and forced him to go back, we lost an hour and a half of time on this, collected all the traffic jams, and arrived at the Novo Rio terminal much later than they could if the driver had not violated the rules. Also, the Wi-Fi on board did not work; it was impossible to connect to the Catarinense network.

Didn't feel safe Always thought that something was about to happen. The crew couldn't make sure that nothing would be stolen and nothing would happen to our stuff Not to mention we had to change buses due to a malfunction in the first bus something that made us feel even worse about theft. In review we don't recommend going with this company.
