ilulaBus King William’s Town Grahamstown recent customer reviews

I don't see myself using Ilula again, bus drivers were not friendly to people. When the bus is late I expect to get a message of apology or explanation that the bus is running late. We book the busses because we are calculating the time if arrival to our destinations
