Intercity Xpress Port Elizabeth Bloemfontein recent customer reviews
I hope my review can help and changes will be made. Firstly the driver was very insolent towards passengers. The bus kept making this annoying beeping sound. We drove a very long way from PE to make a refreshment stop. When we landed in Bloemfontein, no announcement was made to notify us, I had to ask and other passengers knew about the drivers behavior and were scared of him and that's unacceptable.

The ride itself was comfortable as always but the roaches actually made my trip uncomfortable. They were everywhere. Please put an effort into regular fumigation.
