Customers appreciated the ease of purchasing tickets and found the drivers to be friendly and attentive, ensuring a smooth travel experience. However, there were consistent mentions of buses arriving late without timely communication or explanations for the delays.

Citiliner Plus Johannesburg Witbank recent customer reviews

I enjoyed that buying the ticket was easy enough, but the bus arrived over 45 minutes late. And they only sent me a message about the delay 15 minutes after the scheduled time for the bus to arrive. After the bus arrived, the experience was smooth and okay.
