The worst travelling experience ever. Firstly nowhere in the ticket was it specified which side of Big Bird the bus would depart. Waited in the wrong spot, I got to the correct spot 10 minutes before departure time and the bus was gone. We have to rush to catch it at park station, which was a nightmare. When I got there the workers were rude and aggressive. I had to fight with them. The bus was meant to arrive at 8 am in EL , is 12:41 now and I am stuck in Queenstown cause the bus broke down, the one that was sent had a drunk driver with punctured tyres. Still waiting for transport to East London. If you know what is good for you, DO NOT BOOK THIS BUS.

According to multiple reviews, customers express dissatisfaction with the service provided by the company. They mention that standing outside waiting for the bus for more than 5 hours was unbearable.
