I enjoyed comfort but i think break stops were not user friendly as the garages had limited offers for meals or snacks...drivers stop prolonged periods and that led to almost an hour late

Abongile J.
I am highly dissatisfied. The bus was very uncomfortable, the driver seemed like he didn't know. On the ticket is stated that the bus trip starts from the Johannesburg Park Station which is very untrue. It was outside the Park Station, I felt very unsafe as the streets of Johannesburg are known for street thieves.
