According to customer reviews, there were delays and bus faults that caused an hour delay. However, the lady at the intercape office in Pietermaritzburg was extremely helpful in assisting with bus changes.
I was sitting at the back, the smell coming from the toilet was so bad. My trip was only two hours but yoh! I almost vomited. Passengers at the back were complaining, the staff did not even bother to explain or apologize.
