Mzansi Express receives praise for its punctuality and the professionalism of its drivers and conductors, who are noted to be friendly and helpful. However, some users reported issues with departure times not aligning with their tickets, leading to inconvenience such as having to stand during part of the journey.

The bus was fast. We didn’t have long and unnecessary stops. The conductor was very helpful and kind.

The conductors are very friendly. However the bus left me behind. It took off from Johannesburg 45 minutes before and on my ticket the departure time was 13h00.I suffered a lot so as to join my bus at the border. And then with my ticket I had to stand in the bus from the border to Mutare. It was a terrible experience

BAD 1. The bus did not keep to the booking time. It arrived 4 hours later. 2. On the Zim side, the bus kept kicking and dropping local passengers making rendering our goods insecure. GOOD 1.The bus was strong and fast enough and avoided unnecessary stops until the border.
