Citiliner Plus Umzimkulu Johannesburg recent customer reviews
The bus almost left me. It was not communicated to me that I must wait for Greyhound instead of Citiliner Plus. What helped me is calling Citiliner Plus just before the bus came. The trip itself was fine except that the bus phone chargers are not working.
