They ask you to be an hour early so you can be ready to board. But the bus was over 2 hours late. There was no announcement or anything. I had to go up to the desk and ask. Out of the 3 busses leaving this morning all 3 were late. One was delayed for over 3 hours. Again with no announcement or anything. I woke up at 5am to be here. It is now 9:30am and the bus isn't even here.Review from Jose L

Tornado Bus is a mayor **** they deserve 0 stars!!!! I traveled from ******* to *******, ***** yesterday July 25th,2023 when we left the Bus Station the Bus started to smell weird. It was one if those two floor buses, then all of a suden the A/C stoped working and from the A/C vents a strong smell of AMONIA started spreading through the whole bus. We all started coughing and complaining, there were babies and pregnant women riding with us, the bus was almost full!! They bus driver told us he was gonna stop at this mexican restaurant in *******, ** We asked for another bus and he said it was gonna take 4 hours to get there,The ONLY solution was to open the EMERGENCY WINDOWS and a little window on the roof, no a/c , the amonia smell came from the bathroom!!! It was strong and it almost make all of us throw up!!!! We drove all the way to ******* like that, sweating and with the emergency windows banging because of the air from outside, I almost cut my finger cause I wanted to hold the window with my hand! This cant be happening again!!! I have photos and videos from that, some of us called the company when we were inside the bus to complain and they just said they were sorry and thanked us for calling?!? Wth!!! I asked for a refund when I got to the Airline station but this kid that was working said he couldnt do anything cause the manager wasnt there.AWFUL SERVICE!!!!!Review from Shelly D

I bought a ticket for my son to come home from ****, **** where he attends *********************. He went to the abandoned Gas Station and called me and said Mom this looks sketchy. He waited 20 minutes and then I came on BBB and found that this company is a SCAM. Cannot believe this happened in the year 2022. However...it is a ******* Cartel Company and I am out $66. Unreal!Tornado Bus Company Response

The bus seats are extremely uncomfortable. The first bus was from Durango Mexico to Laredo. And that one was ok. But once we got to Laredo we changed buses and the seats were extremely uncomfortable what they charge is super high compared to other bus lines I've used before. Other bus lines are cheaper way more comfortable. I also had to wait more than 2 hrs. They told me the bus was going to take off at 6pm but to be there at 5pm I got there at 5:10pm and the bus took off at 7:17pm. I'm not planning to use this bus line ever again. Pls don't do it. Let's not even talk about how terrible the wait was on the border. I have no clue what they do different but the wait is extremely terrible.Tornado Bus Company Response

No es el trafico cuando salimos de la terminal de Apaseo el alto Guanajuato dijeron que solo pasarÃamos a Querétaro y de hay el destino era la terminal en Laredo para acer el cruce en la frontera pero el chofer recibió una llamada y decÃa es que solo tengo un asiento pregunto cuantos son y se desvÃo a otra terminal como a 20 minutos de nuestra ruta y decÃa si pero primero lo mÃo se bajo y dijo ni etiqueta tienen sus maletas tardaron como 15 minutos asta que salimos otros 20 para retomar ruta creo que si respetaran las salidas si un cliente llego tarde no es culpa de el resto ese cliente debe esperar otro autobús que salga de esa terminal.
Cuando cruzamos la frontera paramos en la terminal que esta hay en Laredo tx y una persona que trabaja hay pidió de favor que los que viajaban a katy tx podÃan cambiar de autobús y ellos no quisieron ellos pidieron que los bajaran en rosenberg y le dije a la persona empleada de tornado que si podÃa cambiarme a mi al autobús que pasarÃa por katy tx y ni siquiera se tomo el tiempo en escucharme le dije que la persona que me compro mi ticket lo compro para Houston y que en realidad yo vivo en katy y no dijo nada siguió su camino entonces yo les pregunto a ustedes donde esta la comprensión de sus empleados a nosotros no solo debe aver comprensión de nosotros hacÃa ustedes deben entrenar a sus empleados a ser mejores como persona a su servicio que ofrecen y no ser prepotentes
it is not the traffic when we left the Apaseo el Alto Guanajuato terminal they said that we would only go to Querétaro and from there the destination was the terminal in Laredo to make the border crossing but the driver received a call and said that I only have one seat I asked how many there are and he diverted to another terminal about 20 minutes from our route and he said yes but first mine got off and he said no tag do they have their bags it took about 15 minutes until we left another 20 to return to the route I think if they respected the departures if a client is late it is not the fault of the rest that client must wait for another bus that leaves that terminal.
When we crossed the border we stopped at the terminal that is in Laredo tx and a person who works there asked for a favor that those who traveled to katy tx could change buses and they did not want them they asked to get off at rosenberg and I told the tornado employee asked if he could change me to the bus that would go through katy tx and he didn't even take the time to listen to me I told him that the person who bought me my ticket bought it for Houston and that actually I live in katy and not He said nothing, he went his way, so I ask you where is the understanding of your employees towards us? You should not only see understanding of us towards you, you should train your employees to be better as a person at your service and not be arrogantReview from Enahi A
