According to multiple reviews, the customer support service is very bad. Customers were not notified about the bus being late and only found out later that it had a breakdown, resulting in more than 5 hours of delay. Additionally, there have been complaints about incorrect drop-off locations where passengers were taken to Johannesburg instead of Germiston. Some customers also express frustration with buses not being on time despite expecting promptness from the company.
