Rather than ass ... This review relates to Route IS 2101 from Cape Town to Pretoria via Bloemfontein on date: 23 December 2025. I misplaced my baggage tag, and the driver was extremely rude and unhelpful. Rather than assisting me, he repeatedly threatened to leave with my luggage. I asked him to verify ownership using my bus ticket or to contact a manager or customer service, but he refused to listen or provide any form of assistance. If my father had not arrived at the right moment, the situation could have escalated (to put it more lightly), as the driver was clearly unwilling to handle the matter professionally. I strongly encourage the company to train its drivers to handle such situations with courtesy, professionalism, and a solution-oriented approach toward customers. Your drivers are ruining the customer experience and reputation as a company.
