Hey Guys,
I’ve a big problem with my Itinerary which was basically Capetown-Storms River-Jeffrey’s Bay-Durban 14 days Next month.
I wanted to do this all by buses. Im all good until I hit Jeffrey’s bay but from there to Durban I can’t find an alternative to a 5am Greyhound bus  which I would waste a full day on.Is there any such thing as a night bus from jeffrey’s bay to Durban?I checked Greyhound/Translux/Interscape
If I can’t find an alternative im pretty much lost and will have to totally change up my Itinerary and probably Just stay in Capetown and fly to Durban.

Thanks again and Apologies about all the posts.
Cheers Fergal

How about going on to Port Elizabeth from Jeffreys Bay and fly P.E. to Durban ? Its about USD 100 with SAA.

I think the OP wants to get to Durban as fast as possible and wont have the time to stop on the way.

I don't know about from JBay, but from PE there should be busses (have you tried http://www.citytocity.co.za/ ?) to Durban through the night. They'll leave after 5pm though, so you'll need to get to PE from JBay if its not a bus that starts in Cape Town.

Yes it is. It's part of Greyhound - just aimed at a cheaper market.
