Just that they take your bags, before making sure it's the right bus, what if my name is not linked to that bus, does it mean I'll have to take my bag out again...but other wise I enjoy the trip and I'm safely home

According to customer reviews, there are some positive aspects of the service. However, several customers have expressed dissatisfaction with the coldness inside the bus. Additionally, there have been complaints about inconsiderate and selfish behavior from one of your drivers who played loud music despite requests to turn it off. This kind of behavior can make trips unpleasant for passengers and should be addressed by management.

Intercity Xpress Paarl Kimberley recent customer reviews

Your driver was very inconsiderate, selfish as he took a music box on the bus, i asked them to switch it off in Lainsburg which they did, the second arrogant, inconsiderate, selfish driver switch it on when he start to drive about 02:30 and played his music loudly. We've all had earphones but he doesn't care about others. This driver make trips like this unpleasant and need to be warned, to be considered that the trip is not about him nor is he the owner of your bus. This driver is bad for your business and need to be addressed about such behavior
