Citiliner receives praise for its punctuality, friendly drivers, and comfortable seating. Many users appreciate the good customer service and safety measures in place. However, some reviews mention non-functional charging ports and cleanliness concerns like cockroaches on board. Additionally, there were occasional delays in arrival times reported by passengers.

I had a very nice trip to Mount Frere. But I was not happy with the guy who was packing our parcels, he told me to pay for the Television to the driver of the bus, but the lady told me to go to the windows where we buy tickets to pay there, and there I was told to return to the bus and I'm not supposed to pay for the television. Then the guys told me that they are not going to pack the TV in the bus if I don't pay that R150, and I had no choice but to give them

The bus was not comfortable and smells very bad. It was 1hr20 late. The return bus went via Vereeniging which means arrival time on the ticket was misleading
