Citiliner receives praise for its comfortable seating and friendly drivers, creating a pleasant atmosphere during travel. However, some travelers have noted issues such as broken air-conditioner covers and non-functional charging ports. Additionally, there are reports of delays in arrival times and cleanliness concerns related to the toilets on board.

On the ticket they wrote that the bus gonna arrive at 05am but to my suprised we arrived around 03:30 I manage to go to work early, I was afraid I'm gonna be late for work, that's what I really like about it

Citiliner is okay, great if it isn’t for the bad odour that comes from the toilet. What made my experience not so good today is a broken piece of steel that was digging into my skin, if it wasn’t for the jacket I wore I would’ve been bruised. And the window seemed broken so I got rained on. Fix this please

Very kind and safe driver. Temperature was good, not too good, not too hot, scenery was magnificent.

It was bad, the employees were very rude and disrespectful. They refuse to help and misuse their power. The online page clearly says that charging ports were available but there was none on the bus in working condition, only the bus driver's. I will without a doubt never use Citliner plus or Greyhound again.
