The bus arrived on time . Bus dirty and charging port not working and about some few kilometres from Cape Town the bus got stuck for about an hour or so . One of our passengers called the service centre reporting the incident we were told that the will send the bus we waited for about 45 minutes . Second bus arrived but hey this one toilet eyoo but anyway they need to maintain their busses

The bus left the station at 11:00 AM and broke down about 5 hours into the trip. We were stranded in the highway for nearly 12 hours as a replacement bus only arrived at our location at 3:30 AM. We are still on the way to our destination and by the looks of things, a trip that was supposed to be 18 hours has turned into an over 24 hour trip. I am very disappointed with how our situation unfolded.
