firstly, i booked a ticket for 6:30pm and the bus arrived at 11:00 mind you it was cold and raining while we waited at the bus station, the driver was rude and swearing at us the whole way there for reasons that we don't know.

Horrible, I will never ever again use Mavumisa, we waited at Cape Town, small bus showed up to pick us up so that they can change at Laingsburg that time I don’t have a seat and we were 3 the bus was supposed to leave at 7..got to Laingsburg past 1, we left past 3, only getting to Nqamakwe past 4 whereas I was supposed to get at Nqamakwe at 8:30, very poor service. No apologies from the drivers instead they have ego as if we didn’t pay…
