Tiene una pesima politica nada amigable con los usuarios, me habian vendido un bus a las 11:45 pm siendo las 6 de la tarde y se supone que era el unico que quedaba. Bueno resulta que salia un bus antes a las 8:50, era como una ruta nueva y cuando intente hacer el cambio me dijeron que no lo iban a hacer, solo buscan sacar provecho del usuario y no de promover una buena atencion al cliente. Tras de eso el bus de las 11:45 pm no quedo lleno y el conductor paro a recojer pasajeros varias veces cobrando hasta un 10% mas de lo que en realidad costaba

Es decir están vendiendo el puesto varias veces, es un irrespetuoso total. Cedes tu asiento y que te rehubiquen, preguntas si nadie irá ahí y te aseguran que todo está bien. Salen de la terminal unos minutos después para recoger gente que supuestamente tiene el tiquete del lugar donde te rehubicaron. 2 el aseo sin agua, ni para lavarte las manos y sin papel ml 3 habían cucarachas. Mejor dicho un asco total y pésimo servicio. 4 un viaje que era de 9 o 10 horas, y duro 13horas! Ojalá nadie compre más ahí, seguro hay flotas superiores.
