The bus left 2 hours late and arrived in Voorbaai 2h30min late. I was almost robbed twice while waiting for the bus in Cape town

The air vents weren’t working. Neither were the USB charging ports. It was too cold to open the window so we sat in a hot, stuffy bus. The windows even fogged up. Also, there were warning lights flashing on the dashboard and beeping all the way, which were ignored. I think one of them was the brake light. Also, there was no bathroom. I will never use that bus line again
