It was absolutely appalling, the bus was 3 hours late and instead of arriving at 8:30 it arrived at 13:00 , very displeased with the service

Intercape drivers and the office staff must remember that the passengers are not travelling with the bus because of favour but with support and they must treat people accordingly their level of respect is very low, I had to get off in king williams town from East London instead of Somerset West following their disrespectful manner
