I enjoyed the trip, your buses are very clean and comfortable. My only issue is the time keeping, come departure time your buses are always delayed.

I didn’t enjoy anything about my trip to Port Shepstone. The bus parked for almost 2 hours waiting for another bus. What’s worse the charging point was not even working. Our phones were flat. What’s the point of offering charging points that don’t work? Worst experience ever. The driver did not even switch on the aircon, it was a cold night.
