Intercape Budgetliner Somerset West King William’s Town recent customer reviews

I have enjoyed the fact that the bus was on time on my destination, but i did not enjoy the part of being late at the arrival time, as well as bad attitude of the driver who was so rude and unkind to passengers. It never used to be like this at Intercape please improve the service I am an old customer of this bus but the new drivers have no respect and must be sent to customer service training
