Big Sky Potchefstroom Bloemfontein recent customer reviews
I loved that the buses arrive on time, and they also drop of on time as well. I did not like how fast the driver was driving on the way to Bloem as weather conditions were quite bad. And some seats were broken making the experience very uncomfortable.

As it got darker the aircon made it extremely hot in the bus, we could see it on the windows ad we couldn't get out because we were not supposed to take a break. We had to sit in that extreme heat the whole time probably for hours. A pregnant person can not take that much heat because they would almost faint. The rules are a bit unclear as to can pregnant women throw up in the bathroom or ot since it's only for peeing. Also being pregnant and being made to sit at the seats above is not nice at all because the toilet is downstairs for emergency cases like the extreme heat of last night.
