Customers have shared positive experiences with Flota Occidental, highlighting the comfortable and friendly service. The buses are described as new, clean, and spacious with reclining seats for added comfort. Additionally, passengers appreciated the attentive bus attendant who took food orders during the journey. However, some reviews noted there was no stop for lunch on certain trips.
One the plus side, we departed on time and the personal was very nice and comprehensive.
On the negative side, we arrived at Medellín 2 hours later than expected and when we were in the mountains, I thought that the bus was driving faster than it was supposed to.

We enjoyed the Flota Occidental bus ride from Pereira to Medellin. It was a luxurious double-decked bus with a bus attendant that will take food orders. Bus seats could recline 160 degrees, comfy seats and spacious. Freshly made to order food were collected from a restaurant about 2 hours after departure. Very delicious meal & reasonably priced. Bus was on time, very clean, safe & experienced driver and a very dedicated bus attendant. We highly recommend Flota Occidental buses!

There was nothing enjoyable about this journey. We were in a large van, no wifi or bathroom like we booked. No AC and it was miserable. We were made to sit in the front seat squished next to the driver who drove like a maniac, passing cars around corners, nearly crashing several times.
According to customer reviews, there have been significant delays with the bus service. In addition, there was a serious accident caused by overspeeding and reckless driving, resulting in one passenger being taken to the hospital. These incidents have raised concerns about safety and punctuality.
