The seats were comfortable for the long distance. Having my own charging slot was a bonus as my phone's battery does not last long. Also Ablution on-the bus seemed to be the very interesting feature

No I did not enjoy. The bus was not serviced and we broke down after Bloem. We had to wait a new bus. I was suppose to arrive at 9h00am in Pretoria, instead I arrived at 18h00. That is not fair.
