GovernmentZA CyrilRamaphosa saved useless companies like SAA, Eskom and others, they spend millions rands to save corrupt officials, why can't they save GreyhoundRSA, this is one of the successful companies in SA, with solid background, we need this company

We're slowly becoming the part of Real Africa ,we will be fighting for scraps unless something changes soon.

On the end there will only be Teksies left. E20.

This is sad.

OMG,, what is the matter South Africa what is happening? This is one of the company here in South Africa I said that is so helpful to far distance travelers. The president and his cabinet must do something and it urgently.

If truth be told , the service level standards for this liner GreyhoundRSA were now very low.Their high fares were no longer justifiable, new entrants into the market offered better for lower fares. No innovative products and services were introduced in their offering.

And more people going to lose their jobs and families suffer in the process - it is really sad.

Comfort , Safety , Reasonable prices

tafasha So wanted only your buses to ply the route?

Their business class will be missed by many a traveller. EveLumicee

Companies close... new companies open... that’s the circle of life..

All part of the anc/alliance leadership's economic transformations through their corruption.

This is cozd by allowing Zimbabwean buses across to Mzansi .they squeeze out all the juice out the business model.

DA/Afriforum: Builds ANC/EFF : Breaks down

Another achievment by the ANC party of thieves

AfriForum has done more for South Africa in 12 months than the government has done in 12 years.

I wonder how are we going to travel, I am afraid we might experience some plane prices hikes

we thank CyrilRamaphosa for this..

It is sad to see this happening in our lifetime

SHIT, this is real bad hey 👀🙆‍♂️

Im just trying to imagine how many jobs lost😥💔

GovernmentZA please let Prasa take over for jobs sake 🙏🙏🙏

mbalimcdust Another MYANC economic roaring success.

mbalimcdust Another MYANC GovernmentZA success story

Yhoo so sad 😞

Yet, PWBotha CyrilRamaphosa and the communists myac have given the rich mans' SAA our money to keep it flying! R16.5 billion ! If we pay R1 every second, it will take 524 years to pay that. One Million seconds will only takes 11 days. IT MIND BLOWING WHAT THE CORRUPT DO!!

It was either we save lives or Businesses... lives were chosen and this is the result. First Edcon, then Musica and now Greyhound...big names in SA. A lot of other 'unknown' companies shut down as well...the worst is yet to come and that will be the real and harsher second wave.

Well done CyrilRamaphosa DlaminiZuma

Covid is wrecking havoc

Too bad. That was the fastest bus service

Sad. Loved Greyhound during my student years

I love these businesses! They are profit minded and they will close shop if money isn’t pouring anymore!

Their prices compared to Intercape were insane hence a recent surge to Intercape while they would travel with passengers less than 10

Thank you for your service ( NUF to PTA)

This is sad!, Kanti government business rescue plans are only for SOE?, How does it work We can't have companies that have been part of S. African identify for such long time to fall down. ..😔😔.

OMG Really !!!

This is bad

It’s a pity they’re not state owned, hey? They would have gotten bailout after bailout.

Signs of what I told y'all about the economy. More to come. SAns be nice to your African Cousins. You do not know where your children will find themselves in a few years to down the line.

Hawu! Now who's gonna carry us over? U wonder though. For over 37 years of biz they have not built enough cash reserves to survive the threat of this pandemic.

Why?

What? OMG

Opportunity for a local operator

Thank for your service guys

So sad as THIS WAS THE BEST LONG DISTANCE SERVICE EVER TO GRACE OUR SHORES. Will surely be missed.

Thanks for the safe arrivals of family and friends.
