Default Travelling by coach from Jo'burg to Cape Town

Hi

Does anyone know whether it is safe to take a coach from Jo'burg to Cape Town?

Is the area "Park City Transit Centre" a safe place to go to as I need to board the coach from here?

Any advice please!

Thanks

Traveling by coach from Jo'burg to Cape Town is not recommended, flying is cheaper, faster and safer. Taking a train should be your second choice and only if you are desperate should you be taking a coach. South African roads have high accident rates due to the large amount of drivers without drivers licenses and unroadworthy cars and trucks.

I wouldn't take it even if it was half the price.. There has been a lot of accidents on the roads involving busses and taxi's
