Loved the Aircon, spacious reclining seats. Didn't like the toilet door kept banging open and couldn't close, bus travelled at a low speed.
Swiss bus services receive high praise for their excellent condition, professional and friendly staff, and overall comfort. Passengers appreciate the efficient service and smooth journeys provided by courteous drivers. While most experiences are positive, a few users mentioned issues like seat allocation confusion or delays due to unforeseen circumstances but acknowledged these were handled well by the company.
I always enjoy my travels with Swiss I do understand that the delays experienced are normally beyond their control and the couriers always try their level best to ensure passengers are fully catered for.

My family and I had a very bad experience with this bus service No18 our language went missing when we arrived in Byo 19th December just one out of 5 of us had their language and until today we still haven't recovered all of it. The service was very poor being bounced from one person to the other no care at all not to mention the way back to SA on bus No 04 worst of them all the bus had a faulty toilet which stunk all the way no Aircon we were told there was no gas to get it functional it's unfortunate that we already had return tickets trusting that it was safe and comfortable but none of that all disappointing service I will not using or recommending this bus ever such a ripe off

The bust was late, we left at 4:30pm. Its currently 10:20am the next day and we are still on the road. One of the drivers was rude to us and kept on shouting at us

Timewise they are good but the fact that they pick people along the roaf poses a threat to passengers
