The bus was out of service,the toilet was not working,in such a way that a 4 hours trip turned into 8 hours and when we arrived in Midrand the drivers wasn't helping with the bags as he didn't open all doors for us to have easy access to our luggages.

The bus came 2 hours late to the pick up point. No communication was done, very disappointing

Noxolo Andiswa K.

29 September 2025

The bus was late by 1hour 30mins and there was no update informing us that the bus is running late. Secondly there are no seat allocations, it was chaotic having to find a seat especially since people were out so it wasn’t easy to identify which seat is occupied.

I was grateful that we arrived safely. I however feel that intercape has to deal with seating accordingly .
