Via Tac La Rioja Mendoza recent customer reviews

The bus was almost 2 hours late leaving La Rioja (due at 9.45 we left at 11.30). There was no communication from staff to inform us it was late and the bus also stopped several times along the way with zero explanation why. Even when we were 20 minutes from the destination, it stopped again for 15 minutes without any explanation. I understand delays but communication to passengers would have been really appreciated.
