TL;DR
Tour operator transfer buses in Sharm el Sheikh usually wait about an hour to collect all passengers, and quality varies a lot by operator — sometimes a comfortable AC bus with water, sometimes a cramped minivan with no AC and an inexperienced driver.
What the community said
Transfer experience depends heavily on the tour operator: one time it was a comfortable bus with AC and cold water, another time a cramped minivan with no AC, an inexperienced driver, and no water.

On a package tour, waiting for all passengers to gather at the transfer bus took over an hour, with no air conditioning on board — noticeably longer than flying independently.

Long bus rides in Egypt (over 12 hours straight) are exhausting even with stretch breaks — a 27-hour route with no proper stops is described as a real ordeal.
