I enjoyed everything, the bus, service but the drivers were driving slowly because we arrived +2 hours later than expected.
We were moved to 3 different busses because they had technical issues. My original departure time was 17:30 but we left Cape Town around 22:00. We got moved from one bus to another.

JOBELASTAR Cape Town Butterworth recent customer reviews
Firstly the bus didn’t even depart at the right time but an hour later. Secondly, the bus was old! There were cockroaches literally everywhere of the bus. It smelled odd. The bus was swinging sideways as we were going, never felt that uncomfortable before. And them changing us to another bus was the cherry on top. Never using Jobela ever again.
The bus broke down and the on we were moved to was not appropriate and we were ill treated.
The bus was dirty even before we got in . It smelled no air conditioning at all people were dying of heat. To make things worse the bus only stopped twice
