The bus was an hour and a half late! The charging pods were not working. But the driver was very nice though.

There was little to nothing to enjoy of the Sunday trip from Johannesburg to Polokwane really. 1. I arrived at the Johannesburg Park Station 1hr prior check-in time for a bus scheduled to leave at 8h30am. 2. I immediately notified the bus officials at reception about my presence and asked about the whereabouts of the bus. I was told to sit down, relax and wait for the announcements. At 8h30am, the bus hadn't arrived and there's 'no communication' from any bus official. Only at 9am, when the trip should've started, the bus arrives. The bus officials use Khelobedu language (language mostly spoken in Tzaneen/Phalaborwa), assuming that everyone is can use that language. We left from the Johannesburg platform. Half-way in the trip, just after Hammanskraal, the bus starts to malfunction and the driver was somewhat starting to panic. the bus was scheduled to arrive in Polokwane at 14h10, but was late by 1hr. This has caused inconveniences on the part of passengers and the bus service showed no remorse for putting us in a malfunctioning bus.

The bus was fast even though it wasn't on time, advice to the drivers and the people who help us to get to the bus, not everyone is zulu and not everyone takes the bus every day so please be patient and kind to everyone
