The bus ride was very uncomfortable for my father (69 years old) and the driver very rude. He dropped him off in the middle of the road and didn't want to stop at Mall of the North.

Fun lover coaches generally provide good service, with buses usually departing and arriving on time. However, during peak times, stricter enforcement is needed to prevent delays caused by passengers taking long breaks at stops like Kranskop. Some customers have reported being dropped off at incorrect locations, requiring them to make alternative arrangements for their journey home. Despite some minor issues with timing and bus quality not meeting expectations in a few cases, overall feedback includes positive experiences of helpful drivers accommodating special needs passengers and delivering punctual trips that are safe and enjoyable."
