I understand that any car can have mechanical problem, however the management kept us waiting for 2 hours after the bus overheated. Just few kilometers from PRETORIA where there is a depot. It's so unprofessional and undermining the travellers who some where even late for work. No communication no apologies.

I am not happy with the fact the there was a 2 hour delay and i did not receive communication for the delay. I was informed by the customer care agent that my cell number was not captured right when i made the booking . I have made bookings in the past the same way i did with yesterdays booking and i don't understand why things were different now.
