Your drivers are liars and don't respect out time. Right after we left Joburg they stopped at the first garage claiming someone was left behind meanwhile they didnt go pick up people at the midrand station, we waited for 1 hour 30 min. When we reached Queenstown again they said they giving us 10 mkn break which was the 4th stop and we waited for another hour without explaination only to find out they were waiting for another bus bringing other people we dont know from where. No one apologized to us. Your service is disgusting and i will make sure to spread the word.
