The bus comes late, and still it stops many times in different stations.
Not so friendly drivers, the bus was freezing cold, until we complained twice
I used to enjoy traveling with intercape until I booked a late night trip 😣🙄. The stuff was so rude to us... I understand that it was late, but they must remain calm and patient with the travelers.
The bus arrived and left on time at Mthatha but delayed at Gcuwa for about 15' to 20', without explanation
Relatively good. We can't expect a bus to be in time like an aircraft
The staff of the bus with a number 604 were so nice and respectful, but the seats weren't comfortable and the bus was very cold.
If it was not for the strike that was in Knysna we would have made it to Cape Town on time and I would have rated the bus with more stars but we had to wait for about 2 hours before we could resume our journey. Otherwise the bus was comfortable and all those personalized extras like USB ports makes it worth all the trouble. I recommend Intercape
Perfect in time but TV too loud, no water in the smelly bus toilet.. But fine anyway
Information on a route to Kokstad please.as I will be leaving Sunday back to Eastern Cape
