The bus was punctual, friendly drivers and we appreciated that the driver stops every 2 hours as they didn't have inside toilets but they still made it in time as per the estimated arrival time. The bus was very warm and lights were switched off at night to allow passengers to rest. Keep up on the service and improve where it's necessary.
According to user feedback, the drivers were appreciated for their professionalism. However, there was a common issue with delays; one instance involved a two-and-a-half-hour delay without any explanation provided by the staff. Despite this setback, users expressed satisfaction with how well the drivers handled themselves during these situations.
Drivers were so good even though they didn't tell us why our bus was delayed for 2hrs 30min

Very terrible service. Booked a bus for 16.30 since I was gonna go to work the next morning when I arrive at my destination. The bus arrived 3 hours later so we ended up leaving Johannesburg at 19.00 and throughout the whole waiting period none of the staff members updated us about what was going on to cause such a delay
Users have shared mixed experiences with the bus service. Many appreciated the fantastic service and excellent condition of the buses, though some noted that air conditioning issues led to discomfort due to heat.

My air conditioner was open and I could not close it. My seat in particular felt like a furnace because of it. Moreover, the bus kept stopping to do repairs every 20 mins or so for most of the trip. Something I’ve never seen anywhere. I’m not using Grey Hound again
