Scammers
Appalling experience
Unreliable and Unprofessional
Aye Naing
I booked a bus ticket from Malaysia to Singapore. The pickup time was supposed to be 2:30 PM, and I waited till 5 PM and the bus never arrived. During that time, I received no proper updates from the company. I had to keep chasing customer service asking where the bus was, but I never received a straight answer.
After waiting more than 2:30 hour, in the rain in Kuala Lumpur, me and my girlfriend were completely soaking wet. It was extremely stressful and disappointing. In the end, I had to buy another bus ticket myself, which cost me even more money.
What makes it worse is that they still have not refunded my original booking, and customer service has barely responded to my complaint. They do not seem to care about their customers at all.
This is one of the worst travel service experiences I have ever had. Poor customer service, poor communication, and no responsibility taken. I honestly do not think this is a trustworthy business to use.
Add on extra message.
I am not reviewing the bus journey itself, but rather the way this issue was handled by customer service.
While the company eventually refunded my original booking, they completely failed to consider the inconvenience, stress, and additional costs caused by their service failure.
My girlfriend and I were left stranded at a bus stop for more than four hours in heavy rain while on holiday. It was an extremely frustrating and unpleasant experience. Because of this situation, I was forced to purchase alternative bus tickets at my own expense just to reach my destination. The refund of the original booking does not compensate for the extra money spent, the wasted time, or the distress caused.
What is most disappointing is the lack of customer care and accountability shown throughout the process. It took more than three weeks to receive a resolution, and even then there was no acknowledgement of the disruption and inconvenience we suffered.
A good customer service team should look beyond simply refunding a ticket and consider the overall impact their failure has had on their customers. Being left waiting for hours in terrible weather with no proper support is unacceptable.
Based on this experience, I have little confidence in this company’s customer service standards and will not be using their services again. I would not recommend them to anyone expecting reliable support when things go wrong.

Sells tickets that don’t exist
Prix plus élevés au moment du payement
Tolle App aber absolut nicht zuverlässig
Am Tag der Reise erfahren wir 4 Stunden vor der Abfahrt, dass unsere Tickets stoniert wurden.
Also versuchen wir über die App wieder neue Tickets am gleichen Tag zu buchen. Mit der Buchung hat wieder alles funktioniert. Nach 3 Stunden erfahren wir, dass unser Tickets für den neuen Bus wieder storniert wurden. Wir hatten dir ganze Zeit über versucht mit dem Kunden Service Kontakt aufzunehmen, die uns jedoch konstant immer hingehalten haben. Jetzt sitzen wir an der Location fest, und können erst in 2 Tagen weiter fahren, wenn wir neue Tickets bekommen haben, durch das kurzfristige Buchen sind die Tickets jetzt doppelt so teuer, mal davon abgesehen dass wir jetzt spontan eine neue Unterkunft hier finden müssen, und die Unterkunft an der neuen Location auch zahlen müssen, weil die im Voraus gebucht war.
Kurz gesagt, verlasst euch nicht darauf das ihr euere Tickets auch wirklich ganz sicher gebucht habt.

Train Booking
Deceptive Booking Platform- Hidden Policies, No Refunds, Zero Accountability
I booked a night bus through 12Go from Osaka to Tokyo and was never informed of the operator’s one-bag luggage restriction at any point during the booking process. Their own website vaguely states that “luggage depends on the operator” — with absolutely no specific limitation mentioned. It was only after my payment was confirmed and my e-ticket was issued that I discovered the restriction buried deep in the trip details.
Here is where it gets deliberately deceptive: the luggage policy only becomes visible at a stage in the booking process where a separate notice simultaneously states that “Cancellation is no longer possible for the selected date.” In other words, by the time you see the actual terms, you are already locked in with zero ability to cancel. This is not an oversight — this is a calculated design choice that strips passengers of informed consent.
When I contacted their support team, it took two full days of back-and-forth emails to receive any meaningful response. They then had the audacity to claim that the policy was “displayed before checkout” — which is factually false, as I have timestamped screenshots proving otherwise.
This situation occurred during Japan’s Golden Week, the busiest travel period of the year. Being blindsided by hidden luggage policies during this time created a cascading risk — including the very real possibility of missing my onward flight. The stress and anxiety this caused was immense and completely avoidable had 12Go been transparent from the start.
What I asked for was simple: accommodate both bags or issue a full refund of ¥4,242. Instead, I received corporate deflection, copy-pasted apologies, and no resolution.
I am now pursuing:
• A credit card chargeback on the grounds of services not described as agreed
• Formal complaints with consumer protection authorities in all jurisdictions 12Go operates in
• Continued reviews across every travel platform until this is resolved
Avoid this platform. There are far more transparent and customer-friendly alternatives for booking transport in Japan. 12Go profits from hiding critical information until it is too late for you to act — and their support team is trained to deflect rather than resolve. Do not trust them with time-sensitive or important travel bookings.
