The bus drivers were nice and communicated well with us passengers. The issue was the arrival times, the ticket had shown an arrival time of 06:50 only for us to arrive at Johannesburg Park Station way past 9 am on bus 607 from Mthatha to Johannesburg/Pretoria. It ended up causing me to miss my connecting bus as well. Their arrival times keep getting worse each trip.
