Not caring for the customer, my bus was supposed to leave at 5:25 but came very late after 2 hours. No notification massage about the delay until I asked for it. The bus smells urine all over.

The bus with 5 seats in a row is so uncomfortable especially the side with 3 seats next to each other. That bus for a long distance trip is a big "NO" as there are elderly people, disable people plus mother's with infants. "in that bus there is no Confort at all and that is very bad
Based on 2711 reviews, the company was rated 2 stars on Busbud. Travelers were especially satisfied with the ticket access and the cleanliness but often complained with the wifi. APM WC ticket prices on this trip start at $23
Bus arrived an hour late, only to take and drop us in a different town where there was a 3 hours delay and your buses don’t have toilet which makes it difficult to use them in long distances

The bus has uncomfortable seats aircon is not working the driver is driving recklesley the bus was 1 hour late
Passengers generally appreciated the comfortable seating and timely arrivals of the buses, with several noting that drivers were friendly. However, some users mentioned mechanical issues during their journey and an unpleasant odor from the toilet facilities. Additionally, there was a concern about limited stops at garages along the route.
I was dissatisfied because the driver was playing music very loud in the middle of the night until the morning and it was time for us to rest,I thought if people wants to listen to music they must use earphones or earpods

The bus was clean and comfortable. The drivers were courteous and took good care of the passengers. They were patient and ready to assist. The bus has a toilet, which is convenient for a long journey. The only problem was the bus arriving 4 hours late in Jhb. If drivers can stick to the times it would make Big Sky a perfect coach. I look forward to booking my next ride with the coach.
