The bus was clean, which was great - the toilet not so much, especially when the bus stopped. Some of the charge ports didn't work - so people were bouncing ports. It was HOT and stuffy. The Journey was from 6:05: depart Joburg, to arrive at 2pm: Cape Town, However, we arrived 4:30pm, which means I missed my hospital visit with my mom. Stopped so many times. It def wasn't a 'non-stop' to Cape Town as indicated. Drivers were friendly.

There was a bit of a delay, however it was communicated. Very friendly and considerate staff. Drivers respect the rules of the road and our safety. Bus from jhb to cpt was faultless. However, the bus from Midrand to jhb needs a thorough clean. The curtains had a very weird smell.

I enjoyed nothing it took almost 24 hrs to reach t. My bus was scheduled to leave 17h35 (Midrand), we left probably at 19h00 or so to go pick up other passengers at Park Station. We only left for Cpt at about 20h50. No apology nothing. Got to Bellville (Cpt) at about 15h50 instead of 11h30. Never again

Delta Coaches Midrand Cape Town recent customer reviews
I didnt enjoy anything about the trip. In the 1st place my trip was supposed to be at 12.05 the morning and they delayed it till 6pm. The bus then came the evening and we were standing at park station for more than an hour and a half before leaving. And then there was more delays on the road. The driver also almost drove off the road had a passenger who was sitting infront not shouted. I will never ever take delta coaches again or recommend them as that was the 3rd bad trip I had with them and I only drove 3 times with them but now they have shown they are the worst . Never ever ever again.

I didn’t enjoy anything from this trip. I bought a ticket sold with a level of comfort and quality and got a completely different thing. Horrible experience. Dirty, overcrowded, no aircon, no toilet, etc.
