My experience wasn't good at all. The bus was late with 30 minutes and no one said anything to the passengers. We had flat tire along the way and it took almost 2 hours for it to be fixed and again no one said a thing to inform the passengers.

Users have reported that the service is generally nice and safe. However, there are mentions of dissatisfaction with the quality of service at Bosman station concerning bus controllers.
I didn’t enjoy anything, the bus smelt of urine the whole trip! The toilet was leaking and passengers were walking on urine and covering their nose the whole way! The driver was sleepy and kept on dozing off, passengers had to talk to him to prevent any accident

I did not even embark on my journey as the bus(intercity) cancelled the trip and moving us to the next day without any communication whatsoever! I tried getting answers the customer service people were so rude and not remorseful or to even apologize for what they did. I'd not even recommend this bus to anyone
