I was so disappointed. I booked the bus from Pietermaritzburg for my grandchildren but the bus didn't arrive. No one bothered to let us know that the bus is not there anymore. They had to be put on another bus that took them to Durban and they had to wait for another bus to take them to Shelly beach. Instead of arriving in day light they only arrived long after 20h00

The bus driver of bus 8119 was playing loud RNB music from PMB right until Margate. And he would turn up the volume at other times & sing out loud this was a bus I took at 3AM imagine sitting through hours of loud music in the early morning. I was very unsatisfied and he had an attitude when asked by passengers to turn down the music!
