Intercape Budgetliner Express Pretoria Kroonstad recent customer reviews

I didn't enjoy anything at all. The drivers are very rude, along the way the bus had a problem (perhaps mechanical), at that point bus drivers just stopped, and did not say anything to the passengers. It is like passengers had to prophetically know that the bus stopped because it has a problem. The other bus took not less than 2 hours to get to us. I think Intercape is no longer serious with its services as it used to be.

The trip was okay. The one driver spoke too much and he swore a lot in his conversations with the other driver. The other driver (Tswana speaking) was very nice and professional.
