JOBELASTAR Cape Town Tsomo recent customer reviews

Worst experience I ever had. The bus was freezing cold and constantly asking for assistance with that with no assistance being given. Been told that it is like that and there’s nothing they can do about it. Apparently it was too warm on top as it was a double deck bus, while us who were downstairs were freezing cold

Everything was fine. The problem is that the bus was 20 mins late to departure and got delayed in Kraaifontein. That resulted into late arrival.
