There's nothing I enjoyed. It was cold. It died on the way, we had to be transferred to another stinking cold bus. I had small baby in all that. I'm really disappointed in your service
Passengers have shared that the bus service was generally satisfactory, with some arriving ahead of schedule. However, there were instances where delays occurred without communication from Bloemfontein and reports of uncomfortable temperatures on board.
The trip was not good at all
1. The bus was late by 3 hours
2. The driver was very angry and shouted at us
3. The driver didn't stop the car at Komani and he left while we were still standing.

Driver was rude, employees at the station rude and dismissive. The bus was more than 3 hours late and we were not told why. We didn’t have any bathroom stops, the bus was basically a freezer.
