How can the send unserviced busses on a long distance during this time of the year...The bus was 30min out of Park Station and it got stuck apparently there was something wrong with the gear and we left Jhb after 12am this morning,it's 1PM now and am not even close to my destination 😡😡
Intercape should go back to the staff introducing themselves before leaving any station . As passengers we would love to know our drivers and communicate with us about our fresh stops
I booked a bus with a toilet but i was put in a toiletless bus, it was very hot, temperatures were too high up to 28 degrees at times. The price I paid was too much for that bus I did not expect that condition. No rubbish containers.
the bus departed late and arrived late in mthatha. the staff are not friendly at all. they are full of attitude. when I was asking the bus driver where my seat was, he told me that he was going to show me but then started playing around just because I was saying goodbye to my Boyfriend.
The water for flushing toilet was stinking like pure urine which made me vomit with persistent nausea from Maritzburg till I got to Mthatha,a real terrible experience.
