The service was satisfactory overall, but customers were disappointed by the lack of a charger on the bus. Some passengers also mentioned discomfort due to cold temperatures and unresponsive bus drivers regarding adjusting the air conditioning.
The bus was delayed for 3 hours. The seats were broken and extremely uncomfortable. Horrible experience.

The bus time was accurate, however, the condition of the bus was not welcoming. It was cold with no heaters and windows are not proper to restrict cold air from entering.

I bought a ticket online from pretoria bosman station only to arrive at the station and hear that I have to go to Joburg to get my bus there
The bus was very fast because we arrived early here at Queenstown but I didn't like that issue for bus station
Customers appreciate the respectful drivers and love the buses. However, there have been reports of significant delays due to bus repairs near Johannesburg, causing unnecessary waiting times for passengers.
The bus delayed by 7 hours and still had a breakdown on the way to Johannesburg. No reassurance was given by officials and the numbers of the offices are deemed non-existent by mobile networks.

While everything from staff to hygiene to speed was superb, the bus needs to arrive on time. In addition, if there was a problem, customers need to be made aware than wait in ignorance.
