Putco
Based on recent customer reviews, Putco is facing significant dissatisfaction from passengers and road users alike. A recurring theme is reckless and unsafe driving behaviour, with customers consistently mentioning lane violations, speeding, and phone use behind the wheel. Many feel that drivers are rude, disrespectful, and dismissive of passenger requests, particularly around drop-off safety. Commuters also raise concerns about poor scheduling decisions, unclear route information, and unresolved insurance claims following accidents. Several reviewers highlight a lack of accountability from management and inadequate communication when issues are escalated.

I find it ridiculous & unfair that some passengers that use 87 bus to 16th Road Midrand make sure that they wake up early to catch the 87 bus only for us to get to Boulders each & everyday & wait for other people from different busses specifically "18". We now have to suffer because other people cannot make an effort to at least find an alternative bus in order to get to Pennyville or Boulders just in time to get the 87 bus but then again I blame PUTCO because this instruction that was given to the driver was laid by someone from management. Other passengers get to work late 10 or more minutes late because of this. Can we receive proper and fair services that we pay for. RESPECT OUR TIME & SUPPORT!!

I have a query regarding a Putco bus driver Tinyiko to be specific that driver is rude, very disrespectful and very unfair towards some passengers. He has this tendency to leave certain passengers just because he doesn't like them and waits for those he likes which for me is very unfair if you are going to be kind to people why not everyone as a daily use of transport I am furious as I am writing this review a passenger once complained about him and it was made to seem as if she is the one that is wrong whereby he was at fault he passes you even when he sees you. He drives recklessly and causes commotion on the road

Your drivers driving down Malibongwe Drive, Jhb are more of a hazard than the taxi drivers!! Please teach them how to read street signs, they clearly don't know what most mean

5 September 2025, Friday, at 06:40 pm. Bus no.9148. I'm a 21 year old girl who took a bus at Randburg opposite with SARS. I always ask my parents to wait for me where the bus delivers me because by the time I get there it's dark. The bus driver was using his phone while driving, he was actually on a call. I told him to drop me off at short right opposite Sebetsa o-thole moputso secondary he looked at me continued with his phone call and kept on driving my parents stood there looking at me passing with the bus they panicked and tried to chase the bus. He told me he want to round with me. I got scared because of how things are at this time people being killed and kidnapped. He dropped me off at Bonamelo primary school. Please teach your driver's to respect their passengers and do they are asked to do. My parents wait for me there for my safety, but the driver chose to put me in danger.
