The driver was not friendly, as a first time Intercape Budgetliner I didn’t know that I have to submit the note to them , he just said to me I should go away that was not my bus but it was it just that I didn’t collect the note to the office as I was not aware about it

I am not happy with intercape bus anymore, a bus that was suppose to reach Pretoria and at 09:30 in the morning is not yet arrived since it left Queenstown at 19:30
The reviews highlight that the bus service is generally appreciated for its punctuality, cleanliness, and good staff service. However, there are some concerns about comfort due to a lack of toilets on certain buses and non-functioning heaters leading to cold journeys. Additionally, instances of being asked to switch buses without adequate space checks have been noted by users.
With this trip, I was completetly dissastisfied. Firstly the bus was late, and it was a stabus, those small buses that are designed for small distance travell , they are selfish to make people travel for such a long distance. Because of that, I don't think I'll ever use eagle liner.

The drivers would announce every bus stop for certain minutes to stretch

Hope Diamond Transport Queenstown Pretoria recent customer reviews
I booked the bus for my Nanny as it was the most affordable; considering the pick season. The bus itself is comfortable; and spacious. The only negative issue was the late arrival; the bus got to Queenstown after 23:00 instead of 10:05; it got to Pretoria on time though. The drivers are experienced and drive safe; there were no issues or worry of being unsafe on the road. Please improve with the times; try to keep within the scheduled time.

Firstly it arrived late,it was supposed to be at Ultra city garage at 8 it arrived at past 9 left the garage at 10 past 10,when it gets to Johannesburg park station we waited another 2 hours inside the bus because apparently the bus was owing whatever that was.
Customers express dissatisfaction with the Kak kak bus service, mentioning multiple breakdowns and long delays during their trips. These issues have caused inconvenience for passengers, especially those traveling with children.

Horrible, we paid for premium and we got the worst bus ever. No reclining. No space between seats. Absolutely cramped and hot. Charging ports in our chairs didn't work.
