The experience was top tier, the drivers were friendly and very helpful. They kept coming to ask if we were comfortable with the aircon temperature in the bus and made sure we are good.

The staff is very nice, bus on time, they communicate well. As for the bus, I won’t be using greyhound anymore, their standard is not the same since it came back. Uncomfortable 12hr ride, bought premium ticket, using same bus yet we pay different prices, cockroaches are a lot, the bus smells bad due to the toilet. Why cant they fumigate their buses really? Very uncomfortable sitting on chairs with small/big cockroach on chairs

The bus should depart at 6pm. At 7:30 I was finally put on a bus. At 4:30 am, the relief driver woke up to take his turn. I joked with him. He asked me where I get off. I said Bloemfontein. He said this bus does not go to Bloemfontein!!! Thete we're 8 of us put on that bus, and the driver did not know we should go to Bloemfontein. At 9:30am. We were dropped off in Queenstown, 25

The bus was cancelled and we were not informed until exactly an hour after our supposed departure time. We were taken to a different bus that left 2hrs later than the time we were supposed to leave...this bus deserves a whole book of it's own, from picking up Hitch hikers to people sleeping on the passage way and drop off on the highway... listen regret the whole experience
