Among the sustainable travel choices, the shuttle stands out as the good way to reach Kroonstad. The journey takes about 5 hours 15 minutes and with fares starting at just $23, it presents an excellent value for a comfortable ride.
Users consistently highlight the bus service as their top choice for travel, praising its cleanliness, comfort, and effective air conditioning. Many travelers report feeling safe and satisfied with their experience. However, there are mentions of occasional delays and limited toilet stops during journeys.
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.
