Unfair depiction of service
Joep_P
, Aug 2020
It gets you around. That pretty much covers it. The schedule is a lie. It says every 10-15 minutes on the red line. We easily waited 30-40 minutes. We had multiple busses from the same other company passing in the meantime. That's disappointing. Their electric bus is quite new, the other we drove are old. In retrospect I would have preferred the metro or a company with a better schedule. You can decide once you're there. It wasn't cheaper to book in advance even though the site suggested it was.

Watch out! The busses are driving at a reduced rate
Bob_V
, Aug 2020
We bought a one day ticket but didn’t use. The busses were coming at least every 45 minutes instead of 5-15 minutes like it should be and we didnt want to wait that long. I asked a BigBus employee why and he said they were driving at a reduced rate because of COVID19, which is understandable, but this was not clearly stated when i bought the tickets. This was a complete waste of money, i’m trying to get a refund but i probably wont get one.

Great way to get overview of city, especially if limited on time. Buses were on schedule and staff was very helpful. We sat on upper deck, not sure what is viewable from bottom level.
