Your online bookings must clearly state what to do when bus is delayed at midnight. I missed the bus because I could not wait alone at the bus station.

I like the client care from the drivers,however the bus arrived 2Hrs late than expected time. We had to stop on the road in the middle of the night due to some mechanical noise in the bus

Why did you guys lie about the bus breakdown and gave us the lowest valued bus in the world after paying so much money. We delayed for 3 hours, that bus was dirty and stinking and there was no communication between us passangers and the driver. You guys need to do better and stop lying to us. I even took the pictures of the bus you lied about. I need you to refund me atleast half of what i payed because the standard of the bus you gave us deserves a R370

It was very bad 👎 😔. First, it arrived 1 hour and 30 minutes late. Second, when we finally boarded and reached Mthatha, we were taken to another bus that was less comfortable compared to the one I came with. I arrived at my destination at 19:20; I was supposed to arrive at 16:30 according to my booking. My meeting was at 5 PM, and I missed it.
