Greyhound Colesberg Pretoria recent customer reviews

It was excellent but unfortunately I didn't know the bus route and I thought it was going via N1 and they must inform us when they reach a place where we can go to toilet and clarify that it will wait for how long

The trip was fine but the waiting time in Colesberg was too long, it is understandable due to an accident. The delay was communicated. Just need to understand why I had to get into another bus to Pretoria if I booked a trip on the Greyhound for the entire way
