Customers express dissatisfaction with the service, specifically mentioning being left on the road in Midrand and having to wait for another bus. They feel that their safety was neglected by the company. Additionally, some customers booked Citiliner Plus but were picked up in an old Greyhound bus instead.
It seems off they don't know how to run this business and for the fact that they left us on the road in Midrand while we wait for another bus to take us to Pretoria. They forgot our safety. It dead
