Intercape Sleepliner Victoria West Cape Town recent customer reviews

The bus is very comfortable as advertised; I was happy. However can someone just maintain the bus as it drops off and picks up, it was disappointing to board an already dirty bus. Time was a factor but I cant soley blame the bus company for that, thankful for the safe driving till arrival.
