The worst experience ever, the bus was an hour late, with no communication. When it finally arrived we got in only for them to change us to another bus at the garage... we had to carry our luggage to the bus the situation was very chaotic, when we got in most of the seats were already occupied by people who where already on the bus. My 6 year old niece had to sit with a stranger a few sits away from us. I am never using that bus ever again.

First of all I didn’t use the bus I booked ,I had booked an evening bus to depart from Johannesburg at 20:00 for a reason arrival time 6:00 am only to get to Johannesburg at 19:00 an hour early to be told that the bus left at 18:00 because it was full like what ? Lucky a secondary bus assisted but what an inconvenience
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 $22
Firstly the boarding of the bus is not inside park station. Destanation was Matatiele not Kokstard and i was dropped at Kokstard to take a taxi to Matatiele if i wanted to travel with the taxi was going to use one from Johannesburg felt not safe where we boarded the bus.
