The trip was delayed half and hour (meaning that the time in our tickets was not correct) and the online tickets were not valid, so we were requested to pay extra for them to print them.

The operator or terminal didn't know how to handle our online booking. We got shouted at the bus and embarassed us, they didn't know about our booking even though we show them proof. I hope we won't encounter this next time because they literally embarassed us. And I hope the operator will have their own printer for the passengers

I guess the crew and employees are still unfamiliar with passengers who make online purchases. They are always asking, "What's this? and it takes a long time to confirm.

I also needed to print the voucher in a 1st floor print shop to get a boarding ticket from the second floor ticket booth 4. Also finding those two places was not a quick task. Has never been this hard to get in a bus you have already paid ticket in advance.

Everything was perfect. Really worth the private cabin. Much better than I expected. The ship left and arrived on time. Very professional everything.

Get to Pitx Level 2 Booth 4 to get my ticket but was told by the counter to go downstairs and print out the PDF voucher send to my email. Printing services wanted 150 Peso to print. Went to Pitx front desk to confirm with them and was assisted by their staff to talk to the bus service counter. Apparently we do not need the printed PDF the bus service counter guy just refuse to give us our ticket until PITX staff confrontated them. Maybe something dodgy going on between the bus service counter guy and the printing shop who knows. Anyway we double confirmed with other passengers and was told they didn't need to print the PDF voucher in exchange for actual ticket. Also the bus departed at 3.30pm not 3.00pm.
