The bus drivers for bus989 from Bloemfontein to pretoria 15 June 2025 from 12:45 - 7:40 were very rude and negligent to me because they took advantage of my young age, I demand that they be let go or else I am going to escalate this matter and ensure that your company is reduculed in social media and deemed untrustworthy because the staff that you hire are incompetent

Tokollo M.
The bus driver didn't care much about the passengers, the toilet inside the bus was extremely dirty and due to that everyone waited for the first stop, the driver made the first drop in a place that didn't have a toilet so nobody came out... Basically we had 1 stop on a hours trip, the bus was very unhygienic
