Citiliner Plus Durban Bethal recent customer reviews
I appreciate the drivers that waited for me when the bus left me at Durban station. I didn’t like that the bus left me and I was already there and I wasn’t informed that the Greyhound offices are now available.

Zinhle Goodness M.
I didnt really enjoy my trip becoz i am not a morning person, i cant eat early, n i boarded the bus around 7 in the morning and the drivers were only stopping to pick up people who had booked in other towns, and imagine from durban they only stopped in piert-retief, i tried telling them i am hungry n no one seemed to.care. one can say why i didnt carry a lunchbox,
Then there is issue of entertainment in the bus,no tv no radio, just a bunch of some crazy girls who were making stupid jokes n laughing like they are in a tarven, yet one will be trying to sleep,.
Then lets talk about the toilet, pliz do something to avoid that extremme toilet smell.
WHAT I ENJOYED.
I loved the fact that the drivers dont overspeed, they drive very alert n when one is tired they exchange and they keep each other company
The bus was clean,
