Tufesa Internacional

Pros: The bus arrived on time at the pick up point, and the journey was comfortable and uneventful. The destination had construction work going on, so there were a lot of roadblocks, but the driver was able to skillfully navigate them and bring us to the destination on time. Cons: Your Customer Service phone numbers take a customer into medical alert advts, and there is no way to get out of the menu to ask important questions like the locations where the bus would pick up and drop etc. Tips: Always check the departure and destination addresses.
