I didn't enjoy the trip at all. Firstly, it was the lady who weighed our bags who was chewing gum. I found that to be very unprofessional. Secondly I was assigned to either coach 906 or 713. I thought I would be assigned to one coach. This caused confusion when the buses arrived. We were sent from pillar to pole by rude drivers. Thirdly, the bus was extremely cold and the drivers didn't care even if we reported. I almost froze to death. I wish I had not used your coach. On arriving at any stations, they would give instructions that we would not even hear. In addition, I sat downstairs at the back, next to a cupboard, there isn't even enough space for an adult there. I, honestly, had a he'll of a nightmare on your coach. I wonder what I will use in my day back. You have always impressed me but this time I was extremely disappointed. Hope you will address these matters.

Enjoyed the driver. He was very pleasant and drove very well.
We did not have charging ports and air conditioning. We had to open windings for air as it was unbearably hot.
The bus has no safety belts. That is a major red flag as road safety is major issue issue in South Africa. This needs to be sorted out asap.

My experience with IlulaBus has been extremely frustrating. What I didn’t enjoy was the complete lack of communication and the fact that despite having paid tickets, we were left stranded. The bus was supposed to arrive at 19:30 on January 3rd, but as of 10:40 it still hasn’t shown up. There was no staff around to help, and no updates were provided, which was especially concerning with kids and elderly passengers on board. The entire situation felt completely disrespectful to passengers’ time and safety.
