The journey is extremely long, why does the bus have to travel through the Northern and Western Cape when it is coming from Durban, via Ladybrand to Johannesburg.

Very comfortable buses, pleasant staff and clean amenities, at a reasonable price.

Lebo R.
we bought the ticket online. The ticket did not indicate that the bus from Lady Brand was going to Cape Town and thus the passenger should change buses in Bloemfontein. It was only after staff asked each passenger individually where they were going that she was offloaded at 9pm and had to to wait for a bus for midnight. She was not prepared for such a wait, and had not been informed neither on the ticket nor at boarding. This is unacceptable.
