Your bus came 45 min later. Your customer line to phone was not available at 4.45 then my son was asked to use the 1st seat then a little later the rude driver told him to sit right at the back without any explanation

Very dissatisfied, all my belongings including work stuff were taken by the tsosis because the shell garage was closed and I was the only person waiting for the bus and at 4:30 AM was still very dark. I was hoping that the garage worked for 24 hours.. I was very disappointed and abused. I am only greatfull that I am still alive.

Big Sky Uitenhage Mthatha recent customer reviews
The bus was delayed for more than 2 hours and we did not even receive an update from the bus company informing us about the delay and no apologies. Remember that there is no safety on the bus stop and it is cold in the evening and one of the passengers was having a small baby 😭😭😭
