Bus PP to Saigon
ok so i took the mekong express from pp to sr because everybody says it's the best and i wasn't happy...really really hot, bathroom smell permeated the back half of the bus....so now i'm going pp to hcmc - what other bus should i be taking so i can be comfy? (ps taking giant ibis from sr to pp, will let you know how that goes!)2
Mai Linh have ceased on that route for now.http://www.thanhniennews.com/index/pages/20120813-vietnamese-buses-in-fierce-competition-with-cambodian-rivals.aspx

so we took giant ibis sr - pp and it was great. $13, so $1 more but brand new, clean, wifi, and 15 empty seats so we could spread out.finally decided to stick with mekong express to get to hcmc and all was fine (good air, seats near the front, non-smelly in the back as far as i could tell)...until about 1.5 hours in. we had just gotten to the mekong river where we were supposed to cross and the clutch went out. so sat thêre for 2 hours (they told us it would be 1 hour) waiting for a replacement bus. they kept the ac on for awhile but then turned it off and we had to go sit in a cafe where it was hot but with a light breeze. too bad giant ibis doesn't go to hcmc!
