I didn't enjoy anything at all firstly the person who was checking the tickets told me I was on the right queue which was wrong, I was on the road more hours than I expected, I had to call family to drive from Colesberg to pick me up. This was the last time I ever booked this bus line I would not even recommend it to anyone. Drivers were awesome
