Sefer yarım saat rötarla başladı ve otogardaki yetkili, bunun kimi zaman yemek molası verdikleri için olabildiğini söyledi. Madem böyle bir durum söz konusu, sefer saatlerinin buna göre düzenlenmemesini anlamlandıramıyorum. Araç içi ikram yolculuğun sonuna doğru yapıldı, bizden önceki yolcuların çöpleri toplanmamıştı, bizim çöplerimiz de hiç toplanmadı ve önümüzde çöp dolu alanlarla yolculuk yapmak zorunda kaldık. Gece yolculuğu olmasına rağmen şoför de muavin de yolcular da çok sesliydi. Şoför ve muavin yolcularla yüksek sesle sohbet etti, yolcuları uyarmadıkları gibi kendileri de sessiz olmaya özen göstermedi, bu yüzden yol boyunca sürekli uyanmak zorunda kaldık. Saat 4 sularında otobüsün lastiği patladı ve yaklaşık 2 saate yakın gürültülü bir ortamda lastik tamirini bekledik. Bu araçların bakımlarının düzenli olarak takip edilip edilmediğini sorguluyorum. Bunun yanında koltuğumuzun şarj kısmı da kırıktı, bu da konforu iyice düşürdü. İki kişi için toplam 2.300 TL ödediğim bu yolculuğun, ödediğim ücreti kesinlikle hak etmediğini düşünüyorum. Yaşadığım tüm bu aksaklıklar nedeniyle hem güvenlik hem konfor açısından Kale Seyahat’i bir daha tercih etmeyeceğim ve çevreme de önermeyeceğim.
