Le mot ... Le bus de la compagnie Pluma Foz de Iguaçu - Rio de Janeiro est parti à l’heure mais ce n’était pas un véhicule de la compagnie, apparemment il avait été affrété pour remplacer un bus en panne. Le moteur était bruyant, les fauteuils peu confortables et pas des 160 degrés comme prévu. La porte des toilettes s’est cassée à moitié chemin, c’est un passager qui l’a réparée alors que nous avons prévenu les chauffeurs. Ensuite un des chauffeurs s’est trompé de route et cela nous a coûté plus d’une heure de retard. Le bus a fait plusieurs stops non pas pour prendre des passagers mais des colis, ce qui a créé encore plus de retard… Nous sommes arrivés à destination avec plus de deux de retard, sachant que nous avons payé le trajet 100€ de plus que si nous avions pris l’entreprise Nordestina qui partait 3h après et qui est arrivée quasiment à la même heure que nous ! Jje ne reprendrais plus jamais cette compagnie !
