John Peter J.
The driver was very professional and lastly the bus arrived 3 minutes before the time was estimated which is good. I would like to raise a point of I struggled to know where the bus station was as the time I book I saw a different station. So next time try to be specific to where the bus is going to collect from Phalaborwa thanks 😊

The seats are comfortable and are even better reclined. The bus is clean and so is the toilet. The trip was simply great man, the driver wasn't speeding nor driving too slow. I could fall asleep easily.
