Intercape Johannesburg Somerset West recent customer reviews
No trip information was shared with us passengers. The seats are worn down and very uncomfortable.
The bus was on time. We arrived on time in Paarl but the shuttle to Somerset west had to first wait for other busses arriving later to fill it up before departure to Somerset west.
I missed my drop off point because there was no communication or instructions on the fact that I was not getting off at the specific location (Somerset West) but instead had to get off sooner (Stellenbosch) and take a shuttle to that location. When making my booking or on the confirmation email there were no instructions on the matter. It cost me a lot to get back to Somerset West.
