Sadly the bus was several hours late. Delays happen and there was some basic communication between the operator and the client. Though finding which bus was actually going to PE proved trickier. Many of their buses remained empty and stationary.

The bus was 2 hours and 15 min late in Bloemfontein and experience mechanical trouble could not reach their destination. Had to stop unannounced in Uitenhage. Passengers without water and food had to wait for hours on the side of the road. Without any feedback from greyhound. Some passengers without money and with phones that was not charged due to the delays was stranded. It was really a frustrating /scary experience.
