My experience with Obus was very disappointing. The bus didn’t arrive on time — it was over 2 hours late, and there was no information provided about the delay. I had to wait on the side of the road with two children, not knowing what was going on. Other bus companies were updating passengers regularly about delays or changes, but Obus provided no communication at all. In the end, I had to take a taxi because I was about to miss my flight. They also refused to refund my money.

Bus cancelled without any notice. I called when no bus showed up and they give me a place in the following bus 3 hours later. I gave 2 stars because the person answering my calls was nice and professional

It was easy to book, easy to find the pickup point. It is a pity that non-AC buses were not available.
