I enjoyed that the bus was not too late with time upon arrival. But the experience on the bus was HORRIBLE. It was freezing cold and the bus driver was speeding like a maniac. I could see my life flashing by. Absolutely horrible. Horrible driving! There was cold air in the bus all night and people kept complaining but nothing was done about it.

I didn’t catch the bus I was delayed by traffic for 3 minutes when I arrived i missed the bus then I asked for the next stop which was Hieldenberg then I and my husband quickly drove to that next station .On our way to the next station I tried to call big sky the phone was ringing and no one picked the phone . On our way to that station we had a breakdown and I saw the bus passing by and I lost my R600 that I paid so we had to hire a towing truck and I had to book again another bus that was available online
