Greyhound Potchefstroom Mossel Bay recent customer reviews

Bus was 4 hours late with 1 sms at 16:45 to say it will be late, no follow ups. I had to call 18:50 just to hear bus only then left Park Station. Had to sit way in back next to extreamly stinky toilet

Stephne C.

11 December 2025

The trip was awful. The bus was an hour late at first. No air conditioning at all. The toilet facilities was disgusting, the water in the wash basin and the septic tank was full and stinky. The trailer has had a tire burst and there was no spare to replace it, which means that our trip was delayed with another hour waiting for someone to bring it from Beaufort West. The normal hours for a trip between Potchefstroom and Mosselbay is 16 hours, we have spend 20 hours on the bus with no air conditioning. This is not except able.
