The bus trip was okay, however it was longer than usual. We were running late then hit a huge amount of traffic in Pietermaritzburg which made our 7 hour trip into a 9 hour trip

Very disappointed and dissatisfied. The service is poor and the bus drivers are rude and have a very bad attitude. Toilet dirty with no tissue paper. Charging port not working. Time of departure was an hour late. Bus not serviced, engine making a lot of noise and the bus broke down we stayed out of nowhere for 3 hours hungry and thirsty…yoooh worst trip ever. I regret choosing Intercape

Big Sky Express Heidelberg - GP Durban recent customer reviews

The bus had a bad smell the whole way. the bus wasnt dirty or look bad it just smelled - i think the lavatory was full/ not functioning? I got in at Heidelberg so i sat in the front but the smell was still overwhelming there, i cant imagine how it was for those sitting closer. It's a good bus, comfortable and efficient, just please make sure to clean out the toilets often. I was nauseous the whole way and was too afraid to walk towards the toilet so that was uncomfortable
