The drivers were very friendly ànd lovely but the bus is to small inside. The seats are so close together, one can't be free. The seats can't recline especially when one wants to sleep or relax. The passage also so small.

The bus arrived on time . Bus dirty and charging port not working and about some few kilometres from Cape Town the bus got stuck for about an hour or so . One of our passengers called the service centre reporting the incident we were told that the will send the bus we waited for about 45 minutes . Second bus arrived but hey this one toilet eyoo but anyway they need to maintain their busses

The bus left the station at 11:00 AM and broke down about 5 hours into the trip. We were stranded in the highway for nearly 12 hours as a replacement bus only arrived at our location at 3:30 AM. We are still on the way to our destination and by the looks of things, a trip that was supposed to be 18 hours has turned into an over 24 hour trip. I am very disappointed with how our situation unfolded.
