I did not enjoy your service, the drivers were rude, one does not have communication skills, the other gentlemen when i asked him to please switch off the air conditioner because it was getting too cold he said i should wake up, what if he forgets to come back.

Users have shared positive experiences, highlighting safe and timely arrivals with enjoyable trips overall. However, there is a concern about the pick-up address on tickets being incorrect for Kathu, which could benefit from an update to enhance clarity and convenience for travelers.
The bus got stuck at Vryburg Engine garage for almost an hour and the driver was clueless of what was happening. One of the passengers had to check the engine and make it start. While we were done with that and happy to hit the road, the driver fell asleep while driving. It was a worst trip I had
