better to get ticket there, they will just not run the bus you bought if not enough tickets are sold and charge you for another 50% the price of another ticket

Journey was smooth and fantastic. Would be easier if there was better indication of which bus was yours at the bus station though, through signage, megaphones to communicate etc

The bus was very small and the driver barely used the AC despite the heat. It was too hot outside plus with wearing a mask to not use AC or have open windows. I felt so ill. It also would be nice to know in advance that public restrooms on our route require pesos.
