One of the drivers harrassed me on the bus by kicking myself and my husband off seats so that they can have space to themselves after i asked if i could sit there.
This was now the 2nd time i had to move. They wanted all the back and front seats. I stated that i wanted to sit next to my husband.
When i said that I asked if we could sit here and was given permission he stated that if i dont move he would move me personally. So they wanted double seats to sit at for themselves with all their baggae on.
I called in a few days before travelling to reserve seats at Intercape offices and was told that they dont take seating reservations during peak season it would be first come first serve. We made sure we were there early.
I will never!! Travel with Intercape again as I felt unsave. As did a lot of lady passengers who said that they would list their complaints
Also all the windows was closed and aircon was off for the 18 hour drive

The bus driver (African bus driver) was rude i kindly asked him not to put heavy bags on top of mine, he got made put my bag in the bottom it was scratch and things inside were compressed boxes for presents ruined.
