Thaba Nchu
Thaba 'Nchu depot is where it all started. This was the original depot from which operations was managed. today, Zone 1 depot is also situated at Thaba 'Nchu.
As the company grew, Thaba 'Nchu depot became too small to accommodate the buses that needed to stay overnight. Thus, the 50-odd buses spend the night at Zone 1 depot, and by day, operations are handled from Thaba 'Nchu depot.
