Citiliner Plus Middelburg Pretoria recent customer reviews

Totally disappointed, the trip was meant to be 1 h30 minutes and ended up being a 4 hour trip.Bus went to JHB first and had to change busses and again changed to a shuttle to Pretoria. Very distrustful to a teenager traveling qlone, had to pay extra money for Uber because there were no taxis after the bus/shuttle arrived very late in Pretoria (20h00). Very poor performance by Greyhound Citiliner
