The staff at the office and the worker in the bus (not driver) were all really nice and the bus was comfortable, but the driver was driving recklessly and honking loudly and excessively at everyone the whole ride and shouted at people on the street. Total road rage. He drove too fast, overtook everyone on the road and kept having to brake the bus very hard. Did not feel safe in the bus which is the whole point of paying someone to transport you from A to B

J’ai reçu, avant le départ, des messages whatsapp de conducteurs différents. Ça prêtait à confusion. Ils m’ont donné rdv à un autre lieu que celui prévu initialement (alors que j’avais réservé en fonction de ça). L’un d’eux m’a demandé une photo de moi, c’est complètement inapproprié. Quand on donne une location précise avec Google maps, si on veut vérifier l’identité de la personne, on demande les papiers d’identité en cas de doute ! Le bus s est arrêté après seulement 30 minutes, ils nous ont fait attendre pendant une heure. Il semble que nous étions beaucoup à avoir réservé avec cette compagnie et ils ont voulu nous mettre dans un bus plus grand. L’organisation était nulle !!! Pas de chance, nous avons eu des embouteillages à Hanoi (ce n’était pas de leur faute), nous sommes arrivés avec presque 2h de retard. Je ne bloque une bus « luxurieus » pour être traitée comme du bétail !!! Je veux un remboursement
