intercape personnel at the stations are rude..they don't have patience or love for their job.They answer with attitude and are showing no interest to help.

The bus broke down hardly 30 minutes of leaving the station and had to sit for the whole hour plus to continue with the journey, causing all prior plans for the trip to be adjusted.
