I had a comfortable ride, good seats. My only complaint was that from exactly midnight, until I got off at 6:30 am the bus driver blasted superloud music, which didn't really feel appropriate for a night drive.
The drivers forgot 4 poeple not so sure about the station nobody bothered to tell the passangers why is the bus turning back, We have to shout and ask but No they did not even show some respect to apologize. I am highly disappointed it's such a nice bus bt the drivers attitude stinks!!
Thando and the staff were a delight. However, the bus arrived over an hour late
The check in counter at the bus terminal in Cape Town was chaotic. I could see that the staff had to deal with a lot of pressure due to the volumes of people in the Terminal.
