Citiliner Plus Witbank Mbombela recent customer reviews

I’m very disappointed on how I was treated cos we never even travelled with the bus apparently the bus ticket didn’t specify the exact location of the pick up. I phoned 10:30 to check on the bus until 11:30 only to be told that the bus has already passed my area though we weren’t told from the beginning where the bus will pick us up. It only stated engen service station. We had to use a taxi
