The staff were not friendly. The bus had some annoying system that made a noise in Chinese English about being tired or a collision warning. Found it very difficult to sleep

I would have rated zero if I could. The bus was scheduled to leave Plettenberg at 0305am and it only arrived 0645H. No communication and none of their numbers go through. I am writing this review at 1245H and I am still on the way, have not yet reached East London on a bus that was scheduled to arrive at 0820H.
