The top deck was smelling toilet entirely. I am now sick because of the smell. I didn't enjoy my journey at all because I wanted so bad to get out of the bus so that I can get away from the smell,but I couldn't because I had to wait until we arrive.

The bus arrived an hour later, after I got to the pick point an hour earlier. So i waited for 2 hours. Otherwise I enjoyed the journey and the drivers were extremely nice.

Drivers were so sweet and kind it was very nice to travel with citilink.I'm from Ventersburg and i had to go to Kroonstad to get the bus only to find out it passes Ventersburg. That's the only thing i was not happy with because i should've saved that money to Kroonstad. Please make Ventersburg a pickup spot.
