I enjoyed the Safe driving, Comfort, Cleanliness, pit stops, the message to report that the bus was running late. I did not enjoy that the bus was arrive at 12:15 at my pick up but only arrived at 14:00. Instead of arriving in Cape Town at 06:00 in arrived at 08:30 which made me 1 hour late to work in Saldanha.
