Bus broke down twice Extending time for this trip with 3 hours. An Extra R 100 was demanded from the bus driver ''so called exceeding weight limit'' of 20kg without checking the weight to make sure and also never issued a receipt for this R 100 which interpret as bribery

Absolutely horrible. Do not take this bus. The bus arrived 4 hours late, with no communication given as to wether the bus was even coming or not. The helplines of APMWC all go straight to voicemail. I felt unsafe in the bus, the driver was rude and the bus was dirty. APMWC is probably the most dodgy bus service in South Africa.
