The bus left Gaborone on time, and we got to Park Station earlier than expected, which was amazing. However, the driver was rude. He could not allow passengers to quickly relieve themselves while dropping off some passengers, which was unpleasant. We only had one recess in Rustenburg.

i liked that the bus departed on time and arrived on time. It was raining and there were leaks on the bus roof causing bags to get wet in the top shelves
