Greyhound South Africa receives praise for its punctuality and comfortable travel experience. However, several users have reported concerns about cleanliness, specifically mentioning cockroach infestations on the buses. There are also mentions of issues with air conditioning and a need for bus renovations due to old seating. Some passengers noted that while some drivers were friendly and accommodating, others were perceived as rude or unhelpful in certain situations.

I love the fact that they had calculated their stops for us to be refreshed and they the drivers were very patient with the passengers and they were very much friendly, the route to cape Town via Bloemfontein is very straight forward and the drivers were able to keep to the scheduled time that is what I loved about the trip, what I didn’t like was the state of the bus, the bus was not as comfortable as other buses whereby we are able to sleep and be comfortable.

was a safe trip, drivers are really good drivers. The bus down to Cape town did not have power points to charge phones etc. the bus back to Grahamstown, had charging USB that was helpful, but the bus was infested with cockroaches, a few cockroaches crawled over me while sleeping they were running everywhere, please get rid of them it is not a good sign. No toilet paper in loo was weird or is this normal? If normal just warn passengers to bring their own toilet paper.

The seats were sooooo comfortable. For the first time I was able to sleep in a moving vehicle. Loved the experience. However, the thing that allows me to control fresh air coming out stopped working. And as a person with sinuses, it was very difficult for me to breathe in a stuffy area. Would love for that to be sorted out.

There was confusion as to which bus i should be on so I missed the correct one and had to make other travel arrangements . Not one of the drivers of the three busses I approached checked my ticket to see if I was supposed to travel with them.
