Citylink receives high praise for its punctuality, comfortable and clean buses, and friendly staff. Passengers appreciate the smooth rides with no mechanical issues and easy online ticket purchases. While some minor concerns were noted about USB port availability and air conditioning settings, overall satisfaction remains strong due to reliable service from town to town.

We were very happy with the experience apart from the fact that the No 721 was not shown at the bus stop making us think the taxi had dropped us at the wrong pick up link. Only by phoning customer services did we find out the 763 is actually the 721. Also the timings did not show a 12.50 coach. It was very stressful thinking we were at the wrong stop. Other than that the experience was good and very comfortable coach

The trip was fine. It would have been nice if the driver assisted in offloading the luggage. My husband a senior aged 73 had go climb into the cargo hold to fetch our 2 pieces of luggage.
