Intercape Bloemfontein Olifantshoek recent customer reviews
This was the worst travel experience ever. 1) The bus was late for +-hours. 2) We stuck for more than 30 minutes waiting for another bus, apparently the one we were traveling with must go back to Pretoria. 3) The bus smells pee, the bus was dirty.
