First thing first, the bus did not arrive on time, it arrived 45 minutes later. Secondly the charging pots were not working were I had to share a charging pot with the people whom were sitting behind me and the people who were sitted on the other raw. Please improve your services.

The bus was late at the pickup point, no apologies or explanation given. It was supposed to arrive at 0745 and only arrived at 0942. This has negative financial impact as unplanned leave has to be taken. Sad

Se we paid for premium tickets and got a single bus. Very small uncomfortable seats. Didn't stop for 6 hours straight. No toiletpaper in toilet and arrived 2 hours late in belville

They have to communicate more with passengers, we called their number to check the where abouts of the bus and their number was answered by the machines and only got hold of an agent after numerous attempts. Their bus was more than 4 hours late and they don't even apologise or offer us something to eat as a token of apology. We plan our trips according to the given set times and this took us off in a bad manner. Disappointing service by Greyhound SA. Appaling
