Passengers have shared positive feedback about the overall comfort of their travel experience. However, several reviews highlight concerns regarding delays and late arrivals, with some mentioning extended waiting times in cold weather conditions. Additionally, there were comments about the heater not being turned on during colder journeys.
I waited for 2 hours 39 minutes (as I was told to arrive 30min before departure), at Harrismith in extremely cold weather.
One bus arrived at 22h27 and I was told it wasn't the one. When I asked as to where mine was, the driver asked as to how he can know what's happening when there's more than 500 buses at the depot where they pick up their buses. He was minding his own. If I didn't receive any message I have to continue to wait it's not his business if travellers aren't advised if and when there are delays. I was shocked and he left me there. The bus arrived 2 hours later than scheduled 😭😭😭
