the experience was great. just the times, arriving at the stops coming back were a bit late and the driver didn't see anything wrong with it. Rather apologising he insulted those who complained and they were right to do so. Beside that all was good, i will definitely recommend it.

Bus picked us up on time but the only challenge is the halfway stop at Engen Kranskop.
20 Min for the bathroom and to purchase food is insufficient...

The bus broke down and I was forced into a cross boarder bus. The bus given was where near the luxury of regional bus coaches. My bags are currently lost however they are on their way to me. The bus station is so unorganized and dirty. I also don't understand why regional bus coaches only has two buses available in the whole company. Utterly disappointed

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
