However, there were consistent concerns about limited legroom and issues with air conditioning not being turned on during hot weather conditions.
I felt so disrepcted and annoyed.The bus was scheduled to leave Bethlehem at 5:45 pm but arrived plus an hour later without any communication.
I had to call head office of Intercape to enquire.
I was really inconvinienced.
