Everything was alright except for the toilet. I would’ve appreciated a tissue and soap to wash my hands.

The driver and his service was great. BUT, the toilet was smelling all the way and also nelspruit drop off was dangerous. The sasol garage is currently closed, we got off the bus at 2am and had to wait in location that had no security. Please get another drop off zone that has security around.

Big Sky Midrand Mbombela recent customer reviews
The issue was at almost every stop some passengers went for a toilet break and went to buy snacks, this caused a lot of delays. We reached Nelspruit an hour late (8:00pm) please keep in mind I am from Nelspruit and I know the people, not always the safest place. And lastly the drivers took us to a gas station with only 2 restrooms, the bus has 20+ people and there are others who also use those toilets. The haste made it uncomfortable they said we only had 15min+- and the gas station only had a mug and bean express, no actual food. They could've stopped by Alzu a bigger gas station.

We got a new bus after we broke down for 3 hours. So I’m only grateful that the bus driver was very fast since all of us were arriving super late.
Passengers generally appreciated the punctuality and friendliness of the drivers, as well as a smooth ride experience. However, there were some instances where buses arrived late without prior notification to customers. Despite occasional delays and cramped seating conditions reported in certain cases, many travelers found their journeys enjoyable overall due to attentive service from staff.

The bus left me because it was not specified i had to take greyhound while my ticket specified that I had to take citiliner plus I'm very dissapointed on wasting my money booking the bus and waking up early only to find out I'll be going back without reaching my destination and the agent I talked to was very disrespectful

Citiliner bus is nonsense/crab/unreliable and I would not even recommend it to anyone 😒 it took them 3 hours to pick us up at the station with no valid reason for the delay and ended up reaching my destination at night with no one to pick me up
