Our bus left us behind for 3 hours. We were told is was already full. If it was full why would they still give other people tickets to it. Then we switched buses 2 more times which took even longer

The ticket did not have the address to go to and we tried calling but nobody ever answered and we didn't know where to go.

On internet, Turimex mentions that they offer Wifi and electrical connection on each seat for electronic devices, actually it was an old bus with no Wifi and no electrical power, it wasn't clean. Considering that it was a 12 hours trip and I was supposed to work on my laptop, it was the worst experience in my life in a bus
