We boarded the bus from Cape Town to Pretoria, which was scheduled to depart at 6pm, but the bus didn't arrive until almost 8pm with no apology or explanation. To make matters worse, we were forced to change buses and had to stand for a portion of the trip. Upon arriving in Johannesburg, we were switched to yet another bus. The experience was extremely traumatic, and I'm still shaken by the rude drivers and reckless driving.

The bus was supposed to leave Cape Town station 16:10. It is now 18:07 no sign of the bus or even communication. Which clearly shows that Delta management don’t care if the same situation keep on repeating. First and last time on this bus. I called the customer care line twice on 076 441 0202 and no answer. The other number is not even going through.

And when we finally stopped in Britstown, the driver stopped for more than 15 minutes. He did not open the doors so we could stretch our legs, or use the facilities at the garage. The sorry excuse for a toilet on the bus is something I always avoid. There is always something wrong with it. The driver was inconsiderate and did not communicate what was going on. It was beyond infuriating to sit there for more than 20minutes, and not knowing what is going on. The bus may have been clean, but the driver's incompetence alone made it a very bad experience.
