Big Sky Johannesburg Mbombela recent customer reviews
Well they changed us to an old bus that overheats and we had to for 2 hrs for the other one to arrive. We arrived at 12:00 a.m which is not a good time we booked for Big Sky disappointed me on this one and there was no compensation for what they have caused.

I enjoy the safe trip. Friendly driver. What I dislike is the urine smell in the bus. Seems toilets are not cleaned regularly. Happened on 2 bus trips from jhb to nelspruit. Had to keep my aircon on from jhb to nelspruit.

Disappointing is not even good enough of a word to describe the second half of my trip to Nelspruit using InterCity Big Sky. The busses are poorly maintained. Thereby causing a snowball effect when two busses on the same day forced a third bus (ours) to wait for four hours so that the passengers from the other two busses could join up with us in Pretoria and travel the rest of the way to Nelspruit. Bus No1 broke down on the road. Bus No 2's air conditioner did not work. Bus No 3's sliding windows on the driver's side door has no rubber bracing. I made a plan with wads of paper. So that they did not rattle against each other and break. The noise it made was good enough to deafen the driver and the passengers in the front of the bus. I will never travel with this bus service again.
