Excellent. Only that the bus was supposed to reach Mthatha by 11h00, but it seemingly detoured to Butterworth and went to Mthatha via N2 instead of R61

The bus was a whole hour late. No communication to alert the travelers. The cell number they have on google went straight to VM. Their system was not updated and therefore couldn’t see my ticket in their list. It was cold. It was noisy. The whole experience was just traumatic.
