Greyhound Bloemfontein Cape Town recent customer reviews
The trip was very unpleasant first is that I book on a bus according to the advertising it was a double decker bus that has longer leg space and paid accordingly. That was definitely not the case the space was so small I had to sit with my legs on the side of the chairs. The seat were I was sitting back side was broken and could not stay in one position. the bus is invested with roaches even in the small broken fridge at the back of the bus. at least the driver got us save in Cape Town.
