The service was very poor from the start we ended traveling with the most unconfirtable transport because their bus had to go back Eastern and they lied and said there's a problem with the bus engine

They sent massages at 9:30 in the morning.. they said I must go to Cofimvaba that is where my bus stops it doesn’t stop at Ngcobo on that time when I was booking my ticket they said they stop at Ngcobo so I had to use my own money for transport from Ngcobo to Cofimvaba which is R80, I didn’t have enough money for food so I didn’t eat anything from Cofimvaba to Cape Town.. because that R80 I was going to buy food, I had to use it for transport.

The Bus that took us was not the Bus we bought tickets for and the bus that took us had low standards, it didn't even charging points. My experience was very bad, I was not even picked up from my town address we had to travel to another town and pay extra to catch the bus because it doesn't stop on our but when buying tickets there's no explanation that the Bus won't stop. Your service was very poor.
