This is the second time I've a bad experience with Jacobs. I booked a bus and they sent a shuttle that had 2 tire bursts while we are on the road, the shuttle is very old and uncomfortable. Not to mention that the driver was very tired and sleepy. One of the passengers had to drive. Such a ridiculous bus rhaaa

I booked a luxury coach and to my surprise we travelled by Iveco shuttle. It was Soo uncomfortable for a long journey to Cape Town. The shuttle arrived an hour late than the scheduled time, we were not informed accordingly.

Flexi City Connect Fort Beaufort Cape Town recent customer reviews
I am still at the Fort Beaufort Station, where the bus never arrived. I had to sleep at the police station waiting for a bus that is not coming. Company has a very poor communication wigh its passengers. To this point I am very much dissapointed as I have to be the one making calls and follow ups with the bus and if they still coming or not. It is 17 hours now at the station no bus available. No one is answering whatsapp group chat nor calls.
