The bus smelled TERRIBLE!!!
I almost vomited when getting in, and I was not the only one complaining. It's a smell of urine that like a week old. It's TERRIBLE!

The journey was awful. The bus broke down the first time, and they did a makeshift job to try to fix it, but this was deemed to be futile as it broke down again. We were parked for about 2 hours, if not more, at each point when the bus broke down. Eventually, we switched buses in East London after waiting for what felt like all morning. From KZN, I was supposed to arrive in Grahamstown at 6.15 AM, yet I only arrived at 11.20. I am not impressed at all.
Based on 3012 reviews, the company was rated 2.1 stars on Busbud. Travelers were especially satisfied with the ticket access and the power outlets but often complained with the wifi. APM WC ticket prices on this trip start at $41
