I enjoyed comfort but i think break stops were not user friendly as the garages had limited offers for meals or snacks...drivers stop prolonged periods and that led to almost an hour late

The bus did not arrive and no notification was received. Completely dissatisfied
Passengers have highlighted the comfort and punctuality of the bus service, appreciating timely departures and arrivals. Additionally, announcements for each town stop were well-received. However, there was a mention of an issue with a non-functional heater on one occasion and another where passengers had to wait for an hour due to overbooking.

Abongile J.
I am highly dissatisfied. The bus was very uncomfortable, the driver seemed like he didn't know. On the ticket is stated that the bus trip starts from the Johannesburg Park Station which is very untrue. It was outside the Park Station, I felt very unsafe as the streets of Johannesburg are known for street thieves.
