Citiliner User Reviews
Citiliner has received mixed feedback from users. Many passengers appreciated the punctuality and comfort of the buses, with some mentioning that drivers were friendly and efficient. However, there are consistent reports about non-functional charging ports, unpleasant odors in restrooms, cleanliness issues including cockroaches, excessive heat without proper ventilation on board, and occasional delays or lack of communication regarding schedule changes.
The bus was spot on time both departure and arrival with 20 minutes. Friendly and very helpful staff. What disturbed me was caring for child passengers. I noticed very young children, roughly between ages of 4 to 5, allowed to just walk about the bus and playing in the bus passage. All this when the bus was in motion. My expectations were that children should be strapped in their sits and if no sitbelts available (of which in this bus there were), parental care should be enforced. The one child was actually allowed to visit the loo all alone THREE TIMES without any supervision. To me all these rules should be explained to the passengers upon boarding the bus.

1. About 90% of charging ports were not were working. 2. There was cold air coming out somewhere in the bus, one passenger complained to the driver. 3. Didn't leave or arrive on time, there were delays at the station. 4. Toilets were dirty, there's no water in the sink and no bin to throw away toilet papers after doing your business. Everything else was good and the bus was comfortable.

Firstly they changed our bus from citiliner plus to the lower class greyhound, firstly the bus was delayed, secondly I booked 2 tickets and my partner and I couldn't even sit together, third the toilet door was broke and was swinging open and close the entire road trip ... Forth the bus was stinking like pee and to top it off the bus is infested with cockroaches, for greyhound it is highly disgusting the service is putrid
