Passengers have reported enjoying their journeys, with timely arrivals and helpful assistance when needed. However, there were mentions of seating arrangements near the toilet being less desirable on multiple occasions. Additionally, some users suggested that staff could benefit from multilingual training to better assist passengers in learning Ndebele.
Swiss Express have excellent service, you can book online plus they leave and arrive on time. In house service is good too, driver and assistants actually assist. Please keep it up. Kudos 👏 💐 🥳

My journey was great and I enjoyed it. I lost track of time and my coach left me but it was a pleasure to get help on the next bus. I'm so glad I managed to get to Pretoria on time

The journey was smoothly traveled, when I go to Bulawayo I was seated by the toilet. I also booked one week in advance return ticket still near the toilet. The officials must be trained to mix Ndebele and English in case of those who are still in the process of learning Ndebele
Users have reported a straightforward and hassle-free booking process. However, there were mentions of non-functional charging points during the journey.
They broke my luggage bag and didn't offer any solution, they kept telling me about different guys I'll find at Pretoria who'll sort my situation out but no one was there except some lady who was not even wearing uniform.
