Hi Kerri, as locals we can say that we have always found the the busses to Corfu Town 100% reliable even if a little late at times. As poor foreigners we rely on the bus service hugely and we absolutely love the ride into Corfu town. We never get tired of the fantastic scenery starting from SS and enjoy too going through the little villages. They are clean with aircon, the driver takes great pride on the presentation of his bus and you are not allowed to eat on his bus.
Do agree that on the return journey you need to push in front like the locals do-eventhough this is not our way- to secure a seat. Yes you may be standing in front of the line of people, right in front of the door but when those doors open if you are not persistant you could be left standing and be the last one on. The surge is understandable as there are not many busses
However the driver and crew are very caring and will ensure that you are not left behind, even if it means standing, or, are fortunate to have the pleasure of sitting on the lap of a drop dead gorgeous Greek, you know like Tony' good fortune....LOL, whats he like eh?
.
On a serious note though they will not leave you behind and will put extra service on if required. There are many ways of getting to town, but if you can spare a day to go on the bus it's worth it and can be enjoyable especially if it can be a relaxing one where you don't mind even getting the last bus back. ( can be laid back Greek style)
Our only wish is that there were more frequent busses and that we had a local service in SS and surrounding villages!!!!!
