Citiliner Plus Johannesburg Witbank recent customer reviews

I enjoyed that buying the ticket was easy enough, but the bus arrived over 45 minutes late. And they only sent me a message about the delay 15 minutes after the scheduled time for the bus to arrive. After the bus arrived, the experience was smooth and okay.
