A lot pf passengers had more than 3 travel bags taken on the bus instead of been stored in the luggage compartment provided. The bus was full to capacity and then space had to be made for this extra luggage. The bus driver was Professional to explain this to the passengers as he was not very happy with all the luggage that was taken on board in Vereeniging.

The trip was okay & the bus arrived early, but I wasn’t happy with the way our luggage was packed. No one was assisting upon arrival & when we jumped off! There were no identification tags, a person can easily take someone else’s because no one is there to verify! Overall the trip was okay & the driver was professional

Horrible customer service, the bus arrived 3 hrs later, there was no update on what was happening. They avoided our calls when we were trying to find out what is going on.

Citiliner Plus Vereeniging Pietermaritzburg recent customer reviews
Totally dissatisfied,
An emergency came up from our side and we called the customer care centre numerous times between 10:30 and 11:15 to inform them of our emergency. We were informed that our tickets were forfeited and could not assist us further.
They also informed us to send an email out to customer care and cannot guarantee as when the email will be attended to.
Will not be recommended Citiliner to any friends or colleagues.
