Compare 2 ways to travel from Bloemfontein to Johannesburg
We recommend taking the bus
Among the sustainable travel choices, the bus stands out as a good way to reach Johannesburg. The journey takes about 5 hours 50 minutes and with fares starting at just £15, it presents an excellent value for a comfortable ride.
Passengers frequently commend the service for its comfort, friendly staff, and careful driving. Many appreciate arriving on time or even earlier than expected despite occasional delays at departure. However, some reviews mention issues with temperature control inside the bus and a lack of communication regarding schedule changes.
It was 2 hours late with no communication and the trip was extended by an hour so what I had planned to be 6,5hrs of travel became 10hrs including the late arrival of the bus

I mostly dislike the lack of time keeping since the bus left an hour after its arranged time resulting to arriving late at our designated places, other than that it was all good.

The bus ride smooth i enjoyed it.
We hit the cow just after offramping N1 into Vaal road, driver was ordered to stop at Vanderbijlpark bus stop and another bus was arranged from PTA to come fetch us.
We were informed that it will be there within hour 30min jooo to our surprise it arrives 2 hours late than anticipated it was bad, your operation office are not hands on solving issues like that cos they were called and give us false information

The drivers kept the aircon on on the whole time and it only released cold air. The driver refused switching it off. The whole trip was cold.
Users have shared that their travel experience was generally comfortable, with many appreciating the adjustable seats and smooth rides. The staff received praise for being friendly and helpful, especially in keeping passengers informed during delays. However, several users noted consistent issues with buses arriving late. Despite these timing concerns, the overall comfort of the journey left a positive impression on travelers.
It was very economically costly for me,and extremely hot air-conditioning systems.
I was scheduled to be in jhb at 1pm for an appointment and I failed to arrive even within business hours.
The drivers were helpless with the air-conditioning,I can safely say,I wont be taking this bus anytime soon

Mongameli N.
The bus interior is clean, seats are comfortable. The bus was a bit late. Some passengers were occupying 2 seats while they paid for 1, making it difficult and very frustrating for incoming passengers to local a seat. Greyhound personnel did not have a good handle on the situation, causing further frustrations and delays.

The bus was on time, the driver's were quick and the bus was clean. Overall it was a good experience except having to seat by the toilets which was stinky like any other toilet in any bus

Frida N.
I waited at the station for 4 hours. My bus was scheduled for 2:55am but we only left at 7:00am and on top of that we were switched to eagle liner which is not what we paid for. It had no bathroom and charging ports didn’t work. Horrendous service i got. Full compensation should be given.
Users have reported that the buses were comfortable and clean, providing a pleasant environment during their journey. However, there are consistent mentions of delays in arrival times across various reviews. Additionally, some users noted issues with ventilation on certain trips and challenges when reaching specific destinations like Jhb Park Station.
Their service was terrible. The bus arrived 2 hours late. No communication from them. I wish I had went to the internet before booking, but lesson learned.

We arrived safely without accidents. Poor Service, the bus was arrived 3hrs late, no notification, office and cell number says the number does not exist. The bus was full, my two elderly sisters did not have sitting space, we had to negotiate with passengers with children and they carried the children on their laps from Bloemfontein to Joburg. The bus was dirty and invested with roaches. The bus drivers were not easily identifiable and they did not have uniform or anyform of identity so that was unsettling as they dressed their style which did not give me comfort. We were not asked for tickets, and I think there may have been illegal passengers thus the overload. Our bags were not tagged for passenger ID, anyone could easily take the wrong bag. The driver just opend the bag storage and told people to grab their bags. The bus service is is not customer orientated, they need serious change management.
Based on 23 reviews, Citiliner was rated 3.8 stars for this trip. Citiliner ticket prices on this trip start at £35, with the trip lasting on average 330.
The Tourist Centre at Bloem is dirty, scruffy and definitely NOT Covid safe, as I explained above. There is also not nearly enough seating available inside or outside - especially if it is raining. Your buses are 5 star and this depot is 1 star!!

Brandon S.
Firstly, the bus delayed and that was in-convincing. Secondly, it happened that one of the passengers mistakenly locked the bathroom door from the outside and everyone couldn’t use the toilet because apparently it can only be opened in the depot
