Greyhound Port Elizabeth Colesberg recent customer reviews

Staff is amazing. However, greyhound and their general maintenance of their buses is horrible. Bus was stuck for 3 hours due to an oil leak which delayed our departure from Port Elizabeth. It got stuck again in Cradock for 3+ hours due to an oil leak and as a result, I had to organise an alternative transport when the stop surpassed 3 hours. I never made it to my destination(Colesberg)with the bus.
