bnfexpress.com is reliable?

Country forums / South-East Asia Mainland / Myanmar

hello, I know that oway.com and myanmarbusticket.com are famous and reliable. i found that some route is cheaper at bnfexpress.com than oway and myanmarbusticket.com ( the price is written only kyat , then i asked the exchange rate for us dollar used by bnfexpress). but i never found the review by traveller who purchased the ticket at bnfexpress.com. this website is reliable ? thank you

No doubt that both myanmarbusticket.com and bnfexpress.com are websites set up by the same Myanmar travel agency Green Myanmar.

Just look at their email-address.

No idea why they operate two sites with different pricing?

Ha Ha! I noticed that as Well! Guess they do different pricing structure to give the impression that they are 2 different Companies!

Hi,
from experience I would not bother buying prebooked tickets online.
Simply because the system is not reliable and the inventory is not accurate at all.
I would rather wait until I arrive to Myanmar and all my bus and airplane tickets I would buy them from the hotel reception.
You can pay them directly and they can issue the tickets for you
It is much simpler and they can give a ring to the bus and airline companies and speak with them.
Check out my website for more information as well www.backpackingcafe.com

I do agree that it is not necassary to prebook bustickets ......

but..... how do you know that "the system is not reliable and the inventory not accurate at all" ????

Looking at your website you cannot have spent more than some weeks in Myanmar but you already have insight in local businesses ???

Or just a try to promote your website and generate "clicks" ?
