Very bad, the bus was very late with 2 hrs, to n fro Pietermaritzburg. I was very disappointed😞
The bus came late, and it was not in a good condition. We left Pietermaritzburg at 03h00 and few minutes later the bus stopped and we were told that we must get out of the bus it's burning. We had to wait for another bus until 05h00. We were not safe at all, very unhappy
The bus was delayed by 1hour and as a passenger I was not even informed, beats me why they take our contact details if they don't have the decency of letting us know when running late.
