We were only given a 15-minute break later that night in Queenstown. We arrived 2hr late in Johannesburg. Bus was for 1:00pm - 7:54am

Firstly, the bus was supposed to be Eagle Liner only to realise that we’re going with an uncomfortable bus that Eagle Liner hired. And upon our arrival, the hired bus didn’t drop inside Park Station cause the driver said they would be fined R2000 if they did cause that bus is not for Eagle Liner and is not registered. 😭😭
