Intercape sleepliner is so comfortable, there are too many stoppages at garages if they can reduce that, then it will also shorten the duration of the trips.

Greyhound Pretoria Cape Town recent customer reviews
The drive was great, I wasn’t happy with the drivers. Paulinah is a chronic person and before departing she asked the driver to take her treatment from her suitcase and they didn’t want to open it for her and she ended up without anything when in the Bellville station asked if this is the correct station to get off and another driver told her that he’s there to drive not to give directions. Got assistance from other passengers

I enjoyed the drivers are expects and kind.
I didn't like the fact that the arrival time was totally unacceptable, it was supposed to arrive at 07:35am but it arrived at Cape Town at 09:16am and I had an interview at 10:00am. My interview was at DP Marais Hospital from 10:00-11:00
Please improve the issue of luggages bags management to avoid what happened today and and check before leaving before passengers enters the bus

37 hours from Pretoria to Cape Town (should be 18). first bus broke down then next bus burned out. 14 hours stuck on the side of the road. driver had no support from his company. Cockroaches on the bus. Passengers smoking and drinking on the bus even though driver did his best to stop them. Even if its free dont use their "service".
