APMWC Cathcart Cape Town recent customer reviews

It was the worst experience ever. The bus was 3 hours late The driver was busy talking on the phone and while driving. There was no toilet inside the bus, instead of stoping at a garage for us to use the bathroom, he drove passed all the garages in Graaf Reinet. Drove for about 10 km and stoped so that we can relieve ourselves on the side of the road,In the dark. Like that was not enough. We stopped again before Touws river so that we can change buses. The 2nd bus did not have enough seats for to accommodate everyone. Some people had to stand from Touws River till we got to BELLVILLE
