Really good driving. Overcrowded bus. Too long between sw and mossel bay 1st stop. Could not reach my foid or water till i stoid up and complained. Going home i shall plan differently. Would value a luxury service, pay more but have more travel comfort.

Passenger sharing seat with me had her one leg in my space due to her size thus leaving me with restricted space which caused body strain on me.

The Bus was very well equipped. Sometimes the AC was just not turned on properly which made it quite hot in the bus at some point. Few minutes later the AC was back on
