This was the most unpleasant journey ever. I was supposed to arrive at Harrismith by 04:40am but guess what it's 09:44am I am still on the way. The bus was super late and the drivers didn't know the route.got lost on the way after waiting for hours for the bus

The driver was rude, left a passenger in mount ayliff. Delayed for more than an hour at Mzimkhulu. We arrived in Harrismith at 04:06am as opposed to 01:50am. I will never use Intercape again.
