Service is good. Please include nappy changing station in the toilet to accommodate infants during the journey. Why do infants pay full price tickets as adults? Surely it should be half price.

I booked and paid for a mainliner bus but they put me on a budgetliner bus with no restroom and comfortable seats. I was definitely robbed and got poor communication from the staff not making me understand why those changes took place and how I will get compensation for the money lost. Very awful experience

Sunday, 05-01-2025 @08h10 pm , Firsty we traveled in another Bus not Intercity Express, Secondly the driver was very rude in such a way that he almost caused an accident. He was refusing to lower the aircon as it was very cold 🥶. I’m so disappointed with their service.

The trip was horrible. Bus broke down at Moor river plaza tollgate and no bus was brought for the passenger. No one updated us as to what was happening. A mechanic was called to come fix the water leakage which took well over 3 hours. The bus was suppose to arrive at 20:30 but we arrived Midrand at 1:30am. I was really inconvenienced as I had to wake up for work at 5am
