When I went to Bloem I took Greyhound Premium. It was terrible. So I thought let me try Intercape Sleepliner. Firstly it was an hour late. Go to midrand 3 hours late. Will never take the bus again. No attention to detail. And nobody cares. A shocking experience :(

Delta coaches didn’t show up. We waited over 12 hours from 11pm to 12:00 the next day. Even workers at the station said sometimes they come, and most times the buses don’t arrive. Don’t book that bus or book at your own risk.
