Intercape sleepliner is so comfortable, there are too many stoppages at garages if they can reduce that, then it will also shorten the duration of the trips.

The drive was great, I wasn’t happy with the drivers. Paulinah is a chronic person and before departing she asked the driver to take her treatment from her suitcase and they didn’t want to open it for her and she ended up without anything when in the Bellville station asked if this is the correct station to get off and another driver told her that he’s there to drive not to give directions. Got assistance from other passengers
