We were supposed to arrive at 3:30 PM, but instead of traveling from 8:50 AM to 3:30 PM, we ended up traveling from 9:20 AM to 7:00 PM!!! We lost several hours because of this delay. Customer support didn’t respond to us for two days, and nobody helped us. We will never use 12Go again.

The image shown for the bus we had purchased does not correspond to the bus that had arrived. My chair was badly stained, felt like a rock to sit on it. Legroom isn't sufficient for anyone taller than 170. Not their fault, but you need to cross the dangerous street to sit in the bus in Cairo, which is traumatizing. Overall, I think this may be better than other companies based on what I've read about them, but it still doesn't deserve more stars. Even booking phase was buggy, as it doesn't show seat locations properly.

We had two drivers during the trip. During the first part of the trip, with the first driver, we stopped an unbelievable number of times. We had 2 breaks for military barrage, which is understandable, but then we stopped every 15 minutes for no reasons. Once it was for passengers to smoke, another time to wait for picking up someone when leaving Cairo, and then the official break in the middle of the trip that lasted 1 hour instead of 30 minutes announced. We left the first Go Bus station in Cairo Tahrir at 10:30 pm. We stopped for the official break in the middle of the trip at 3 am. We took 4 hours and half to cover 200 km. This was unbelievable, we arrived 2 hours later than the time announced.

The bus was great. There’s the air conditioning in the bus, it’s comfortable… the BIG PROBLEM was the police checkpoints. There were soooo many police checkpoints. We stayed like 1h and more for no reason in the 4 police checkpoints. To be honest it was awful for us even the good bus conditions. We stayed like 9 or 10 hours in the bus instead of 8 hours. Except the bad

Travelling by bus essentials

  • If you are planning to travel during the high season, weekends, or national holidays, booking your bus tickets in advance is highly recommended. The demand is at its highest, yet very often, the number of coaches serving the route remains the same. The earlier you reserve your seat, the better. On some routes, you need to secure your ticket more than a month in advance; on others, a couple-of-days advanced booking is enough. During such periods, try to book online beforehand whenever possible, as showing up at the bus station without a ticket may result in many-hours of waiting in the queue or leave you downright stranded.
  • VIP, 1st, Gold, and similar bus tickets are the most expensive option, but they provide a higher level of comfort. Normally the price of such tickets will include wide soft reclining seats, blankets, water and snacks or lunch, and sometimes some toiletries. Upper-class buses travel faster, make fewer stops during the route, and normally provide more spacious seating to their passengers and a better travel experience.
  • Not all buses have an on-board toilet, but generally, for all trips longer than three hours, all operators schedule a bathroom and/or a lunch stop. While operators definitely do their best to keep on-board toilets clean, the smell may be an issue sometimes. For longer trips, booking a seat a bit farther from the toilet may be a good idea. Also, using bathroom stops for your toilet needs is always better than trying to find your balance in an on-board toilet on the run.
  • If you travel by an air-con bus, make sure to pack layers. A hoodie, a warm scarf, or a beanie hat may prove a good idea. Air-conditioning on buses tends to be excessive, and running nose and sore throats abound after even not the longest bus rides.
  • Always use the security belts even if your bus ride attendant or driver does not insist on it. Your safety comes first – for you, for sure. All buses normally are equipped with security belts, but they may be fixed behind your seat. Take time to find the belt and fix it appropriately.
  • To avoid being disturbed by overhead lights, switched on during stops even at night, and too loud music or sound from the on-board entertainment system, have earplugs and a sleeping mask at hand.
  • As a courtesy to other passengers, avoid using strong perfumes or smelly foods. Some foods like cheeses or durians are forbidden to take on-board – check in advance. Alcohol is also prohibited on the majority of buses.
  • Note that if the bus requires refuelling en-route, passengers will be asked to get off the bus. Operators are not allowed to refuel with passengers on board due to safety reasons. Usually, it takes from 5 to 10 minutes and is often combined with a toilet/lunch stop.
  • If not stated otherwise in your tickets, arrive at the bus station 20-30 minutes before departure. It will give you enough time to find the departure platform and check-in. For international trips, you may need more time for check-in and border formalities.
