Greyhound Midrand Potchefstroom recent customer reviews

The employees didn't want to give me my bag ( they didn't show any interest to help at all ) as soon as i was able to locate one of the drivers he told me to get my bag myself ( everyone was helped except for me ) , as i struggle to get it as i am too short to reach so far back in the top department he then gets my bag out after a while very rudely. I am disappointed with the manners of most of these bus drivers
