The trip from Jhb to Kroonstad was fast and efficient. We left park station before departure time and got to our destination before the expected arrival time.

To start off with, the bus had no lower step, the driver said it broke off. This almost made it impossible for me, a physically challenged person to get on board. This was the case with a few elderly people as well. Even though i had done everything online, I was still forced to stand in a que to get my ticket printed. My window could not be closed properly...

I enjoyed nothing. The bus didn't even stop at my bus station. They had to drop me off along the way .I feel very traumatized by this experience as it was first time using a bus. I will never travel with a ever again. I would rather use a taxi.
