The seat I booked and chose online was already occupied upon entering the bus. The driver/bus assistant should've checked the tickets next time.

Victory Liner frontliner who entertained us told us that we need to buy another ticket because the 12go only sends voucher 24 hours after online booking. She did not check their online system, only to find out that we were already appropriately booked.

Only one thing I did not appreciate was that they were not able to provide us water. I asked about it but was told that supplies were insufficient.

First time to ride this bus. We were not able to transfer date of our first booking a day before our trip. It was quite difficult to navigate the site for rebooking. We just didn't expect that there were many stopovers along the way. But overall, the the drive was smooth and safe.

Honestly, it would have been an excellent trip but the driver and the bus attendant were very noisy. They keep on chatting with loud voices and playing loud music the whole trip. Some people would actually need peace and quiet while travelling a long distance and would like to rest. Maybe they are not just conscious of the noise they make. Otherwise, I appreciate the bus leaving on time and reaching the destination at an earlier-than-expected time.
