Intercity Xpress Bloemfontein Queenstown recent customer reviews

The only thing I didn’t enjoy was the unprofessionalism of a male worker there, who called me, telling me I should sit with him at his office. Then carried on to take my bags without my permission to his office, trying to force me there. I didn’t go and a very polite man helped to get my luggage. I didn’t feel safe.

Vilamora must improve its departure time or if there's an issue causing it to pick its clients late it must be communicated to us and another thing please consider working on cockroaches on your buses do something about them even it's fumigating but do something it's not nice to see insects on your buses otherwise I do not have other complaints the bus heaters were working.
