Paballo M.
Apart from the comfort and the friendly drivers, I would really say the bus takes unnecessary long routes. From Joburg to welkom for 5h50 is really absurd. And the trip arrived 30 mins later then it was supposed to. It delayed departure from every stop.

My trip was good. We didn't encounter any problems. And i loved that the bus was clean, and smelled fresh. I was sitting near the toilet but there was no bad smell. And we left on time and arrived on time.

The bus is comfortable. I love the charging portals on the sits...very convenient. The bus does not keep time at all. It's always late
Users have mentioned that the trip was comfortable and appreciated the friendly and helpful driver. However, there were consistent reports of delays, with one bus departing two hours late from Johannesburg due to a breakdown during the journey.
The journey was okay but there was a delay in pulling out resulting in a late arrival to my destination and of course my picking up transport time was disrupted

Nomsa M.
Bus was delayed. Head office customer care wasn’t picking up calls. Next bus was to go out 4 hours later. No communication from the company. Totally unhappy.
