ii enjoyed everything besides the fact that the toilets were not clean, there was no toilet paper, and the driver drove into something which delayed everything by a whole 3 hours due to waiting for a replacement bus

JACOBSCOACHES Cape Town Bedford recent customer reviews

There was no Bus, we were told a car is coming to fetch us and take us to another station as the bus is currently being fixed after waiting almost 2hours for the bus. When the car arrived the driver started making stops to the Townships picking up people only to find out they dropping us at a Taxi rank. Worst experience cause nothing was communicated to us. If we wanted to take a taxi we could have went to the taxi rank n not book a bus definitely never doing a booking with them.
