No refunds are available in the following cases:
1) No show due to delays
Buses will depart at their scheduled times even if not all passengers have shown up yet. Furthermore, we are unable to fulfill requests for late departures, because doing so would affect the fulfillment of other scheduled obligations. Please check your meeting or boarding point in advance, and arrive well on time.

2) Difference in price
Fares may be subject to an increase or decrease in price without any advance notice. Under no circumstances can refunds be obtained for any price difference with the price for which a purchase was made.

3) Change of bus
The actual bus type, seating configuration, number of seat rows, and bus facilities may differ from those scheduled. An example of when this may occur is when a bus goes out of service due to mechanical trouble.

4) Delay and suspension of service
Bus service may be suspended due to road, traffic or weather conditions.
Arrival time at any bus stop may be delayed for the same reasons. Operation amid congested traffic in particular may cause long delays.
We appreciate your patience and understanding.
