They dropped me off in the wrong station and i had to wait 2 hours to be picked up due to heavy traffic and my transport was waiting for me at the wrong station.

The bus took way longer than expected. My ticket said the bus would get to Midrand at 12:00pm. I only got there at 15:00!! The driver was taking longer and stopping at unnecessary taxi ranks and dodgy stations.

The bus was late by 1hour 30mins and there was no update informing us that the bus is running late. Secondly there are no seat allocations, it was chaotic having to find a seat especially since people were out so it wasn’t easy to identify which seat is occupied.
