Joerney was pleasant but seats was too close to each other people with longer legs suffer to sit comfortable. Toilet on bus was very dirty someone vomit all over toilet we could not use toilet at all had to wait until we stop at garafes or stops

Bus drivers said my employee was not on the bus manifesto, so they didn't let her board and she missed her transport.

It would be great if the aircons worked. For a 10 hour drive 3 stops for 10min
break would be appreciated. If we need to switch busses, that we could be fully in formed what to do with our travel bags and not just told to go over to the other bus.

Most of the trip was fine, but the bus was very late and there was no way for me to find out if they were even coming anymore. The big problem came in when we got to Johannesburg at Park Station. We waited on the bus for half an hour, outside the station on a very unsafe street. Then suddenly we had to move over from the Greyhound bus to an Eldo Coaches bus. Both were standing in the middle of the street with no regard for traffic or safety. Once on the new bus, the driver was rude and refused to answer basic questions about where we were going and why we couldn't stay on the bus we all paid a lot for.

Took me a bit of time to arrange seating with my toddler, as no one wanted to move from there seat but we eventually sorted it out and we were seated. In future I would arrange seating, so that people sit at the back so that any new arrival can walk in and sit on the available set in front
