The experience was excellent bus arrived on time and the placement of seats was excellent 👌 only the luggage part was not good at all , especially the trailer where put luggage the guy did not have patience and was shouting at me. They must understand that we’re women and luggage is heavy for us to carry

Televisions on the bus were not working. Toilet was not cleaned for more than 1000 Kms (Cape Town to Klerksdorp) and the smell of the toilet was not good at all

My aunt was talking to me and the conductor rudely interrupted her. When she told him off, he refused me to get on the bus and then I was falsely accused of being drunk. I had to call security who spoke to him before he allowed me to embark.

We were only allowed to board 1 hour after the scheduled time and there was a further 2,5hour delay before the trip started without any proper communication or explanation. The heat was unbearable during the waiting time and one couldn't even go out due to fear of being left behind

The trip was a total disaster. Water was dripping uncontrollably from the ceiling due to condensation, something that could have been avoided with a proper air conditioning system. The seats were extremely uncomfortable; my backside went numb and felt like I was sitting on a plank. Unfortunately, I have nothing good to say. This was the most uncomfortable trip I've ever had
