It was the worst ride of my life! The driver was reckless, speeding and overtaking 2 trucks in one go. We had to make multiple stops because the bus was overheating. It was also very late.

The bus was two hours and the drivers made me pay 200 rands for my language even though it was not weighed. They said i must give it to them in cash and not send it

Big Sky Welkom Johannesburg recent customer reviews
The bus assistant was very rude and impatient with clients, he does not have decency at all making the experience very unpleasant. I kept asking both the bus driver and assistant to kindly turn down the aircon as it was unbearably cold with a few of us in the bus already coughing and sneezing, to which I was completely ignored. This was my first most unpleasant trip with BigSky and I hope it was my last.
