The trip was excellent. The bus arrived on time at the pick up point in Bellville and drove very well all the way to midrand.
Something to look at on a lighter note:
1. There is something wrong with the bus when changing gears. It feels like the bus is struggling.
Users have expressed satisfaction with their travel experience, highlighting the impressive driving skills of the bus drivers. While there was a slight delay in arrival time, overall feedback indicates that everything went smoothly and passengers were pleased with the service provided.

Bus was suppose to be there 5:30 and only came 6:30 . No toilet on board even though when we booked it showed toilet , now this is important cause my girlfriend is pregnant. We had to get off every 2/3 hours for her to go to toilet . She even threw up a few times and it was hard with no toilet . Bus was also delayed between 5-7 cause of bus overheating. Our trip was supposed to be 17 hours and 30 mins it ended up almost being 24 hours !!! Absolutely ridiculous . No port was working so phones were dead . I honestly don’t know what we paid for … But never ever again.Oh and the one guy was so rude taking the bags and told us we must give R50 we asked for what and he didn’t want to load my luggage. It all had tags on from inside. We booked a flight back now and will never ever do this again especially this bus line

It is a terrible coach service. The bus was scheduled for 13:40 but only arrived at 21:30. No communication was sent, it was a he says she says scenario. All the passengers where told different times and had to wait in the cold for several hours.
