The bus was warm but it was dirty…. I don’t like the fact that they don’t announce when we arrive in a new town or when we had to take a break

It was supposed to arrive at 7:10 am but we only left Bloemfontein at 11:23 am and we were not notified of this very lengthy delay. The toilet was stinking up the whole place, the staff was kind however ,hence the one star. I was supposed to arrive at 3 pm and it’s 7:14pm ,I’m still on the road.
