I booked a return ticket with my 2 boys from Cape Town to Shell Umtata, today we are returning we are 60km to East London, my only critic the pee smell from the middle section towards the back is terrible it's really bad. Even when we arrived at Idutwa already the pee smell was there and to make matters worse it's still a long road to Cape Town. There has to be a smell diffuser especially it's summer ppl are drinking and using the inside bathroom more frequently. Please do something about this others bus services top notch
