Bus was clean and drivers friendly and professional. I bought a ticket on intercape and with no reason change it to Big sky without refunding the difference in pricing

Booked the bus for my kids from Potchefstroom to Kimberley and as the bus was between Klerksdorp to Wolmaranstad it had a breakdown and stay for about 5 hours waiting for an alternative us as we speak my kids are still on the road and have not reached their destination. The worst part Intercape failed to provide us with an update as to what has transpired which left us and the kids on a panic mode

I did not enjoy anything because the bus had left me when I was only 1 minute late, it saw me approaching but still drove away and the driver made signs withhis hands directing foward, which I assumed meant I will find them at the next stop (town)
