2 hour 10 min trip became an 5 hour 14 min trip , we sat in bus no one came to use informing us why we not leaving
The driver were sitting sleeping in his seat the hostess were who know where
Later i claimed out and ask why we not leaving and got an comment the bus are broken
I asked how long the driver just look at me like i am crazy
Later i asked another person from inter ape whats going on and he said they sending an bus from Pretoria to come replace this one but he do not know how long
Later an Bakie pulled up and jumped the bus so the battery was flat and the bus could not start
Most properly because the driver did not switch of the lights and were sleeping in his seat.
Very disappointing trip will never use inter cape again or suggest it to any one i know.
According to customer reviews, the service provided by the bus company has received mixed feedback. Some customers have praised the fast and efficient trips from Jhb to Kroonstad, with buses departing before schedule and arriving earlier than expected. However, there are also complaints about disorganized staff who frequently change passengers between buses. Additionally, some customers have experienced difficulties boarding due to a broken lower step on the bus and faced inconvenience when printing tickets in person despite completing online bookings.
The staff is disorganized. They should stop changing passengers from one bus to the other

The trip from Jhb to Kroonstad was fast and efficient. We left park station before departure time and got to our destination before the expected arrival time.

To start off with, the bus had no lower step, the driver said it broke off. This almost made it impossible for me, a physically challenged person to get on board. This was the case with a few elderly people as well. Even though i had done everything online, I was still forced to stand in a que to get my ticket printed. My window could not be closed properly...
