The crew was not so friendly to my wife that I had booked the bus for they demanded some money from my wife after the bus had arrived in Pretoria my wife requested to pay the money via the company’s account but the guy insisted he wanted cash and it was her first time in Pretoria she was told to go to an atm and was asked to leave her bag and passport behind when she got home her power bank was missing I’m very disappointed

The departure time was not 6pm, the bus left Roadport around 7.30pm. The drivers did not take time to introduce themselves to the passengers and never informed us on the travel journey pattern (eg like the places the bus would stop for refreshments and ablution usage. Arrival time was compromised by an hour due to delayed departure. The bus also allows vendors to get on board selling their wares, this puts people's valuables at risk, high risk of being stolen.
Many users have praised the bus service for its punctuality, efficiency, and friendly staff. The buses are described as comfortable and well-maintained with professional drivers ensuring a pleasant journey.

The ride was okey. The bus should do something about the toilet, it raises a stench smell which makes the trip uncomfortable. They should put an automatic flush and an automatic air freshener dispenser.

Passengers generally appreciated the safe travel experience. However, there were some concerns about non-functional phone chargers and a lack of WiFi on board. Additionally, travelers mentioned that having agents at the border could expedite processing times compared to other buses.

It was great both ways . However , I wish they have agents at the border who make processing faster like other buses
