Passengers have shared positive experiences with friendly staff and comfortable trips. However, some reviews mention delays due to bus changeovers and late arrivals at destinations like Pinetown. Additionally, there were instances where passengers experienced inconvenience from being swapped between buses or not being dropped off at the correct location.
What I didn’t enjoy was being changed from my bus to another bus ,when we got to Pietermaritzburg.. it was an inconvenience for me

The only part I enjoyed was where the bus stops for the 15 minutes break cause it was different from Montrose. But the bus stopping a few times and us being told to go to the other buses? That was annoying!

Passengers have noted that the bus was clean and had a pleasant smell, with smooth driving from the driver. However, some users reported issues with the toilet not locking properly and an unpleasant odor in it.

Loud ringing coming out the speakers the whole way down, no toilet paper in the bathroom, my charging port and AC weren’t working, and the driver was rude and didn’t care if passengers held the bus up in Bergview for half an hour. Worst bus ride I’ve been on.
