Prenoto due bus per Napoli A/R. Il primo viaggio viene annullato e, a loro discrezione, mi assegnano un altro viaggio il giorno dopo. Spiego che non posso andare a Napoli il giorno dopo perché mia madre si deve sottoporre a chemioterapia e devo assisterla, per cui ho bisogno di cambiare il biglietto con un bus che viaggi quel giorno oppure il giorno prima. Inoltre, soffro terribilmente il viaggio in bus, per cui avevo prenotato e pagato il posto in prima fila (5€) per ogni tratta. Me lo hanno tolto, assegnandomi un posto diverso, senza alcun rimborso. Ho richiesto di avere quel posto o quantomeno che mi rimborsassero i miei 5€. Mi hanno rimborsato tutto il biglietto e cancellato completamente la tratta. Ho dovuto comprare di tasca mia un altro biglietto che ormai costava il doppio. Per quanto riguarda il viaggio di ritorno: entro sul bus e mi comunicano che il mio posto era in seconda fila. Non avevo ricevuto alcuna comunicazione in merito, né ero stata rimborsata. Mi avevano semplicemente dato un posto diverso da quello che io avevo PAGATO! A questo si aggiunge un episodio particolarmente grave: il bus è arrivato a Bologna con circa 2 ore di ritardo. Dopo un viaggio di oltre 10 ore, ero estremamente stanca e proprio a causa di questo ritardo ho dimenticato la valigia a bordo per pochi minuti. Me ne sono accorta immediatamente e sono tornata alla stazione, ma il mezzo era già ripartito. Ho contattato subito il servizio clienti (numero a pagamento, senza assistenza immediata) e compilato il modulo per oggetto smarrito. La mattina seguente, alle ore 8:00, mentre il bus era ancora in viaggio, ho richiamato e mi è stato detto che, avendo compilato il modulo, non dovevo preoccuparmi: il bagaglio sarebbe stato rintracciato e sarei stata ricontattata per il recupero. Nonostante numerosi solleciti nei giorni successivi, ho ricevuto solo risposte generiche fino alla comunicazione fina

Non sto quí a criticare il complesso perché se viaggi in questi bus ci sono cose che sai già prima di salirci.. la cosa odiosa è la scortesia del personale autista. Una semplice richiesta di informazioni diventa un umiliazione per chi la chiesto. Ma come lavorate. Non prenderò mai più itabus e non lo consiglierò a nessuno. Nello specifico, chiedo quale delle fermate è più vicina ad una stazione ferroviaria tra quelle che si susseguivano nel paese (considerando che ne fanno 5 a Rimini), la risposta è stata quanto più scostante potesse essere. Ma se uno non conosce la zona, che ti costa aiutare una persona? Comunque, non mi siete piaciuti
