Copetran receives praise for its comfortable buses and effective entertainment system. However, some users have noted that the temperature on board can be quite cold, so it's advisable to bring warm clothing. Additionally, there are reports of unplanned stops along the route and occasional delays in reaching destinations.

I really enjoyed the spacious leg room, the very comfortable seats and I felt safe during the trip. Also the bag storage felt safe with their ticket system. We had also a nice break to stretch the legs. No negative points!

Overall it was good. However, the bus broke down which caused an added 2 and half hours to my journey.

It was very noisy on the bus, the bus was very late and we had to pay money to get our bags back when we lost our luggage tags

I caught a Copetran bus in Bogota to take me to Santa Marta. The trip was supposed to take just under 16 hours. So, I caught it in the evening, planning to sleep all night and then take in some scenery in the morning before arriving in SM. When I woke up, I found we were nowhere near our destination. We were almost 7 hours late! - no one acknowledged the extended trip, let alone apologized for it -the ac was extra-freezing -the bathrooms smelled terrible and had no running water or soap!! -no wi-fi

Charger places didn’t work, ac didn’t work in some of the seats (for example mine), screans didn’t turn on and they were broken or seats didn’t even have them, BUS WAS 6 HOURS LATE and almost missed my flight because of that. It was supposed to arrive 8:20 in the morning and we ended up arriving at 14:03
