My experience was very bad, the bus driver left my my husband in cookhouse,my husband went it to buy water,when he came out of the shop the bus was already leaving,I tried to stop the driver but he was so heartless ,he continued to drive regardless people were stopping him. What we didn’t understand also he waited for his second driver to pick the aloe in the open veld but he couldn’t wait for my husband who went in and out of the shop

First bus broke down and we had to wait 4 plus hours for a new one, which didn't have a toilet which meant the bus had to stop on the side the road for ppl to do their business. And, we we're move to a third bus with no charging port, traveled in 3 busses total and was more then 6 hrs to the destination

Our tickets altogether were R4k+, however, not even half way through the trip there was no water to flush the toilet or wash the hands. The smell was unbearable. At least for the money have these facilities checked, we are on a trip for quite some hours. I don't think we will make use of the bus again.
