Intercape sleepliner is so comfortable, there are too many stoppages at garages if they can reduce that, then it will also shorten the duration of the trips.

I enjoyed the drivers are expects and kind.
I didn't like the fact that the arrival time was totally unacceptable, it was supposed to arrive at 07:35am but it arrived at Cape Town at 09:16am and I had an interview at 10:00am. My interview was at DP Marais Hospital from 10:00-11:00
Please improve the issue of luggages bags management to avoid what happened today and and check before leaving before passengers enters the bus

Cockroaches on the bus. Passengers smoking and drinking on the bus even though driver did his best to stop them. Even if its free dont use their "service".
