Horrible. Bus used R101 instead of N1. It the had a breakdown at Mokgophong. We were stuck for 5 hours waiting for the relieve bus. Instead of arriving at final destination at15h05 we arrived at 20h30. Ooh, the bus that had a breakdown smelled bad.

I had a pleasant journey with the City Liner bus, save for the fact that it left it's departure station before the scheduled time, and as a result I had to get a Bolt to catch up with it at the next station for which I had to pay R250.
