Greyhound South Africa User Reviews
Greyhound South Africa receives mixed feedback from its users. Many appreciate the comfortable journey and commendable driving skills of the staff, with some mentioning timely arrivals at pickup points. However, there are consistent reports about cockroaches on board and issues with air conditioning settings being uncomfortable for passengers. Additionally, delays in departure or arrival times have been noted by several travelers as a concern during their trips.
For a first-time user I was verry impress with the bus ride, the comfort of the seats and the cleanness of the bus in its whole. But what impressed me most was our bus first driver, Solly, who started from Pretoria. His friendliness, special attention for the passengers needs and his professional driving skills. I was sitting in seat nr 3 and could see the road and the way he drove. I was completely at peace with him behind the steering wheel. What a gentleman. Regards

was a safe trip, drivers are really good drivers. The bus down to Cape town did not have power points to charge phones etc. the bus back to Grahamstown, had charging USB that was helpful, but the bus was infested with cockroaches, a few cockroaches crawled over me while sleeping they were running everywhere, please get rid of them it is not a good sign. No toilet paper in loo was weird or is this normal? If normal just warn passengers to bring their own toilet paper.
