My journey was great and I enjoyed it. I lost track of time and my coach left me but it was a pleasure to get help on the next bus. I'm so glad I managed to get to Pretoria on time
Users have reported a straightforward and hassle-free booking process. However, there were mentions of non-functional charging points during the journey.
They broke my luggage bag and didn't offer any solution, they kept telling me about different guys I'll find at Pretoria who'll sort my situation out but no one was there except some lady who was not even wearing uniform.
