Intercape Johannesburg Trompsburg recent customer reviews

Bus made unscheduled stops and longer stops along the way. No communication was made to the passengers, None, Zero. This had a huge impact and inconvenience on other arrangements we made to get home safe. I felt that I was treated like a bag of potatoes being delivered to a supermarket.
