Users have shared positive feedback about their travel experiences, highlighting the new buses and timely arrivals. However, there were some concerns regarding seat comfort due to limited space and issues with toilet hygiene on board. Despite these minor inconveniences, travelers generally enjoyed a pleasant journey overall.
Had the best experience ever. Was sitted so comfortably. Travelled from Joburg to Middelburg, the bus made it to Middelburg before the ETA. My only problem was the toilet. Very unhygienic, but I put the blame on the passengers.
