The bus was extremely comfortable and came on time which was great but the drivers allowed drunk passengers get on board which made the trip horrible for me.

I enjoyed the comfort but was concerned to see vendors coming in the bus while passengers went out to use the bathroom. This happened at Park Station. They come in and sit. This poses a risk for the passengers belongings.

I got in Midrand at exactly 08:15 asked the driver to fetch my bags from the car he replied "you'll get me in jhb" he packed the last bus and left me, I has to request another Uber for R220 to park station for him to get to Margate an hour later but he couldn't wait for me for 1 minute. Because I got here an hour later taxis were already finished I had to call a cab for R300. I never want to be in your buses and am taking this to Hello Peter
