Imagine you are going to Durban you book the earliest bus to your convenience only to arrive late afternoon at your destination. The places to buy food from are not the busiest is the smallest garage with no restaurants to cater for commuters in a quickest manner, the meds we have to take on an empty stomach. This service is utterly poor, I need to have a choice on which bus to take knowing exactly it is from this point via there until my destination 😞😞😞😭😭😭😡😡😡
