When my mom booked my ticket, she was not told that there will be a very long waiting period (7-8 hours!!) in Bloemfontein before I would have to get onto another bus to continue to George. This was totally unexceptable and I changed my ticket to Sunday morning at a extra cost of R145. Plus I had to pay someone to fetch me back to Catoridge and then bring me to Pietermaritzburg again on Sunday
