Greyhound bus was 2hours late in total, 4 passengers and I did not have space so some people were moved to Citiliner, they moved myself and others to Citiliner and greyhound only took Gauteng passengers. Drivers did not communicate well and Citiliner driver forgot to drop me off at Kroonstad and now my mom had to fetch me at N1 with other passengers
