The bus was not bad at all But the toilet was smelling and I was sitting far from it I just feel for the people who were closer 😕

I didn't enjoy anything. The bus seats were not adjustable. The drivers had an attitude, driving like they are carrying bags of maize meal in the bus. Very poor service, I don't see myself taking intercape anywhere, ever!

Thandokazi J.

June 14, 2024

Their service was good despite a little delay but over all they really gave a good service. I felt safe. The only reason I didn't give a 5 is I got a very bad seat, next to the toilet. Also sat next to obnoxious passengers who had no regard for others.

Delta Coaches Johannesburg Mount Ayliff recent customer reviews

The bus was supposed to get to Park station at 18:55, we ended up leaving at 06:00… I’m writing this review with so much disappointment. What Delta coaches did was unprofessional, uncalled for and very unfair. Kids were sitting in the cold weathers of Johannesburg with no word from the management and drivers. We were just fools who paid a lot of money to scammers 🚮🚮

Vakele N.

The bus arrived very late and there was no order whatsoever, people were pushing others to get in and we had to pack our luggage. At 1am we had to go to another bus because apparently the other one was broken. The previous bus was extremely hot. We also arrived to our destinations very late.
