Your seats (Chairs) are not comfortable, not at all!!! and your Bus are very old.
The bus departed on time (Joburg Park Station) and arrived on time at Durban Station. The assigned driver, Mr Mdluli is the best driver. He's full of respect. I liked him. Please show him this message. There is one thing that I wasn't happy about. The charging points were there but weren't working.
The driver allowed some passengers to enter the bus with alcohol and consume alcohol while our bus did not have a bathroom. The obvious then happened, the very same passenger decided to relieve herself on the the floor and the fluids flowed to our seat. Unfortunately the was no avenue to complain while in transit and my wife and I just had to keep our feet up in the air for the entire journey. Very disappointed and as a result we decided to use Intercape for our trip back home.
