TRANSPORT
Baz
Bus is a unique hop-on hop-off, door-to-door, backpacker bus service.
Now in its 8th year of operation, Baz Bus has become the largest
transport network for independent travellers in Southern Africa.
The
concept is simple; passengers simply buy one ticket to their final
destination and can hop on and off anywhere along the route, as
many times as they want, wherever they want, with no time limit.
What's
more, Baz Bus offers a door to door service between 180 backpacker
hostels and lodges around South Africa and Swaziland. Currently
we run in each direction between CAPE TOWN and JOHANNESBURG / PRETORIA,
either via the Drakensberg or via Swaziland. Where Baz Bus can’t
get to, hostels in that region have organised private shuttle services
at a nominal charge. This includes shuttles into Lesotho and Mozambique.
With
on-board information about what do to on route and where to stay,
Baz Bus is a fun and flexible way to meet other travellers and experience
the holiday of a life time!

HOW OFTEN DOES BAZ BUS RUN?
This depends on the section of the route and applies in both directions.
Our busses only run during the day, i.e. they leave Cape Town in
the morning and arrive at P.E. in the evening. Cape Town, Port Elizabeth,
Durban, Swaziland, Johannesburg (or Pretoria) are compulsory stopovers.
