There were cockroches on the bus, we nearly couldn't get sleep because we were afraid they may go into our food or something.It was the first time in me on a bus that was full of cockroaches. I was very upset and didn't expect this from the Intercape. It's always been a Reputable bus.

It was very comfortable and clean. The only problem I had with the bus is the fact that I put my stuff in the fridge and when I arrived home they were warm and had gone bad...so the fridge was switched of without even a warning

No addition for this time.This trip was good and time wa perfect compare to previous once
The drivers were friendly and called us when they thought we were running late for boarding.
I was very very disappointed as me and my friend Alba van Der Merwe never got onto THE GROUND HOUND. Not GOING OR COMING BACK. We left Cape Town on a CITYLINER which I believe from one of the drivers was a Eastern Cape bus, cause the Dubble decker Grey Hounds are not roadworthy and are all in for service. Thus the cockroaches and BAD TOILETS. After the 1hour delay at Potchefstroom another CITY LINER arrived. We approached the driver with our GREYHOUND tickets and he said that this is our bus! It was so crowded. NO LEG SPACE,I am a tall lady, I could never stretch my legs. I came home with such swollen feet that it has only normalise after 2 days.
