Viajo regularmente entre Santiago y La Serena y v/v, en Buses salón cama. es la primera vez que tomo esta empresa y en realidad no volvería a tomarla. Las razones: GPS DESCONECTADO por tanto se DESCONOCE el nombre del conductor, cuanto tiempo lleva conduciendo y a qué velocidad estamos transitando. Maquina NO SANITIZADA da desconfianza sentarse en los asientos con los apoyacabezas negros de suciedad y sin funda de protección lo mismo pasa con los cinturones de seguridad también muy sucios. Esta máquina salió a las 12:30 PM desde terminal San Borja con destino a Arica, (yo bajo el La Serena)

Voy viajando en Salón cama y literal que voy atrapada entre mi asiento y el respaldo del asiento en frente de mi. El nivel de inclinación de los asientos supera lo permitido quedando prácticamente atrapada, tienes el respaldo de la persona que va delante sobre tus piernas sin poder moverte y eso que soy delgada, imagino a alguien de mayor dimensión o un adulto mayor, además del mal olor en el bus es horrible. No viajo más en esta línea.
