The bus was an hour late. It was also full I was sitting on 20 liter at the back sit from Bloemfontein to Aliwal north. I am not satisfied at all, especially because of my knowledge and experience of how a public transport quality should be.

Zwelakhe M.
The Delta coach services were unprofessional and they lacked the proper communication with their passengers. They delayed their arrival for over two hours and, upon boarding, they did not have a specific route as they were collecting passengers from different areas of a single province. They made us wait unnecessary amounts of time to solve boarding issues and bus changes thar they should have solved before the trip even happened. All in all, everyone was very unhappy with the services provided by Delta Coaches and will never be using the bus for transportation.

The bus came two hours late and only let 6 passengers in and said the rest should wait for another bus. My 14 year old waited in the rain from 11pm to 3am just for no bus to show up. We had to take him home and change the ticket.
