Poor service ,I traveled for more than 15hrs to get to my destination. I will never recommend your service to anyone. Bus came late was suppose to come 9h25, but came 10h30 am, and reached my destination at 21h00.🤦.😕

Trip was OK, however there was a breakdown in communication when the bus driver from Durban explained that there had to be change of busses in Pietermaritzburg, which was later postponed to happen in Harrismith, &just after transfered 2 luggage bags &going to grab some food from the shop in Montrose, the other bus took off with the bags &he had to followed where his bus was finally met along Heilderburg! Unnecessary stress from all the anxiety about bags being in another bus!
