The tickets were without seats. I didn't find the information about this, because if it was possible to buy one with a seat, I would have done it. I rode half the route (1.5 hours) standing, because I had to free up a seat.

The bus came quite late. The bus services is just average. The coordination between bus company and 12Go is quite horrible. Both of them said not their responsibility. The website did not allow me to select a seat during booking. Upon contacting the bus company directly, they informed me they have no record of my booking and stated that seat selection is mandatory via the website. I tried to connect 12Go serveral time but super delayed response. I was not confident in the booking thus i planned to cancle. I have attempted to process a refund through 12Go website five times, but the system fails to complete the request. When I reported this to 12Go, staffs cannot help anything.

We've used this bus company twice as tourists, and everything was fine. A normal journey, a good bus, and on schedule.
