I enjoyed the journey and the bus comfort but I was angry because the bus we were traveling in broke down and we were delayed for 2 hours
Horrible travelling experience, but bus was hot , we couldn’t get aircon, the bus had leaking areas as the got in and I too got the rain, we had drunk passengers , the bus was 1 hour late at departure location and the bus arrived 2h30 at the destination.
The first refreshment break was at 20:00, yet I got on at 13:30 already, was starving and nauseous by then. No toiletpaper on bus. Bus was nearly 2hours late. Freezing onboard as window’s don’t properly seal.

Buy new coaches with ablusion facilities
Need improve on hygiene bus need to clean windwindow was disappointed
I would never recommend this bus to anyone else ever. The service was appalling and a simple trip to from Port Elizabeth to Bloem literally took more than 24hours. We had to change the bus 3 times because they all replacements broke down and we had to spend hours on the street with no updates from any of the drivers. Ive never experienced this level of disgusting service in all my years as a traveller. I regret the day i chose Villa/night/Mare as a travel partner.
