Citiliner Plus Midrand King William’s Town recent customer reviews

Terrible, I was not informed that I would be taking a Greyhound bus. I thought the bus was running late, but after calling, I found out that the bus had left me and I had to travel 30 minutes to the next station to catch up with it. The person on the phone said that the system sent me a notification, but I did not receive anything. I was totally in the dark, and I almost got left behind. Terrible experience
