Users have shared mixed experiences with the bus service. While some aspects of the journey were satisfactory, there were concerns about sitting near restrooms due to unpleasant odors and lengthy travel times caused by frequent stops in various towns. Additionally, a delay during an exchange at Durban station was noted as a point of inconvenience for travelers.

The trip was too long and collecting from every town the bus passed was tiring. The exchange in Durban station was also delayed by almost an hour

Was supposed to leave at 10pm , was still waiting for a bus till 12midnight , and the bus was still getting fixed

What a horrible trip. The bus was delayed for 4 hours due to mechanical failure and instead of changing buses, we had to wait while they try to fix it. At every stop we had to wait for for passengars to arrive which caused more inconvenience. I reached my destination at 01:30am instead of the stipulated time.
