Not caring for the customer, my bus was supposed to leave at 5:25 but came very late after 2 hours. No notification massage about the delay until I asked for it. The bus smells urine all over.

The bus with 5 seats in a row is so uncomfortable especially the side with 3 seats next to each other. That bus for a long distance trip is a big "NO" as there are elderly people, disable people plus mother's with infants. "in that bus there is no Confort at all and that is very bad

First of all it was an hour late at the pick up stop yet no communication was sent. We arrived 4 hours late at the destination. We were very late

The bus was clean and comfortable. The drivers were courteous and took good care of the passengers. They were patient and ready to assist. The bus has a toilet, which is convenient for a long journey. The only problem was the bus arriving 4 hours late in Jhb. If drivers can stick to the times it would make Big Sky a perfect coach. I look forward to booking my next ride with the coach.
