How they don't seem to improve or desire to better themselves is more concerning. What should have been a 24 hour trip at at most, turned to over 30 hours of travelling. This includes 12 hours of being stranded in the middle of the Cape Karoo due to the state of the bus that could have harmed customers (without food, water or bathroom facilities) , 6 plus hour delay, and 5 bus changes due to lack of permits and road safe vehicles. What a shame. First and last time booking with them and would advise against anyone booking with them.

I regret using this bus service,we were travelliing with kids,and we faced lateness of bus,lack of communication, then given the wrong bus which travelled a few KM then just parked of 6-7hrs for no reason,they hired a bus for us in bad shape then refused to pay them thats why we wer parked there ,then we call Delta noone answers,we then get in contact with Manager who advised us he didnt know anything about it and would sort out something . These people do not care. what was supposed to be a 13hour trip ended up being a 26hr trip...Worse off we were dropped in Joburg instead of Pretoria what i booked for . Worst bus ever..

You book Greyhound premium they bring a budget linear that is vandalized with no charging points. The bus broke down halfway and we had to wait 8 hours for another bus coming from joburg which was about 750km from the breakdown. Greyhound is the new Roadlink, ridiculous bus.
