Bus was very uncomfortable. Bus driver told us quickly and only in Russian where we could sort of find the bus after the border, 300 meters away at an unmarked location. They left 1 person behind because they weren’t there “on time”

The platform advertised an air-conditioned vehicle (e.g., Hyundai Starex). While I understand that the exact vehicle type may vary, I was very disappointed that the actual transportation was changed to a much lower-standard vehicle with no air conditioning at all. Initially, Driver A picked me up, but instead of taking me directly to Tashkent, he dropped me off at what appeared to be an informal taxi gathering point and negotiated with other drivers to find someone to take me. Fortunately, another driver agreed to take me to Tashkent, but we had to wait until the car was completely full before departing, and that was 30 mins wasted! As a result, I spent more than five hours in an overcrowded vehicle without air conditioning during the peak of summer. This was extremely uncomfortable and did not match the service that was advertised. I believe the vehicle and service provided should accurately reflect what customers book through the platform.

Unnecessary stop of one hour a midnight to let the driver eat in a restaurant. And one hour stop just before the arrival to put fuel in the bus. This could have been done after letting the passagers leave.

Staff were pretty rude and disrespectful as they chat in their language about their passengers in, they arrived one hour late to the destination which caused me missing my flight. 12go on the other hand had no customer service in charge of such matter
