The Bus does not deserve to carry passengers, no service, bad driving and the bus stopped from 4am to 10am because it was broken, we had to find transportation from Joburg to Pretoria, it could not pick me up from Qumbu but I was informed at 1pm to travel to Mt Frere as it doesn't stop in Qumbu. Worst experience and the owner did not seem to care.
