I didn't enjoy at all,the bus had a problem,tire bust at u Mkhomazi. We waited for another bus for about 2 hours. Again at Pietermaritzburg we moved to another bus with heavy luggage. We arrived at 10 o'clock in Midrand instead of 6:40 am. Kindly upgrade bus 089 its very old,change seats they are very squeezed. Otherwise your other busses are on point.
